We just got off the salt, sun is setting and we're pooped, here is the Pepperoni version of events. On Saturdays, Carquest doesn't open until 8:30am, the drivers meeting was scheduled for 8 so we were on the salt at sunrise. Drivers meeting turned out to be at 9 and by the time we were done with course inspection it was around 10:30, we checked in with Ron at the radio trailer and got his recommendation for the type of connector we would need and headed for Carquest. Nobody had informed Mayor Mike that a package was coming and the local PO doesn't deliver packages so he had to close the store (leaving us in charge) and drove off in one of his Corvettes to fetch it. Laptop in hand, we scoured Wendover for what Steve called a "party" connector, one male RCA jack with two female RCA outlets, there were none to be found until the hardware store, which opened at noon, coughed one up. We headed back to the radio trailer to hook things up, unfortunately when I called Slim for the password, I didn't write it down, this complicated things later. As it turned out we needed one more cable so I drove back to the Pilot in Wendover to pick one up. When we finally had everything hooked up properly, the whole thing needed to be rebooted and not having the passwords proved to be a problem, it took a long time to get ahold of Slim, by the time this mess all got sorted out it was close to three. So I apologize for the delay, I really treasure being able to follow along when I can't be there, but there were a lot of obstacles in the way, hopefully tomorrow will go a lot smoother.
