Tried to call my pickup early this AM but no answer and then left a message, finally got a call back much later ... it would be noon before I can pick up the first car.

Breakfast was good, real eggs, bacon.

So we had the AM to kill until checkout. This part of the trip is not the money maker, a full day lost for <> $50.

After we check out we go to the dealer, my contact had to go pickup the plates. Not sure what happened. Then I get to use our companies new phone app ... I don't get it to work and have to do a paper copy.

Fuel gauge is below 'E,' so I stop at the first station. It's prepay and I do the math wrong and only put in half as much as I had intended. But it's enough to get me down the road an hour. Then I stop and put in the balance of what I had planned on putting in.

When I get to the delivery town I find a car wash, self serve and wash the bugs off. Then put in another half gallon to keep the gauge above 1/4.

We find the delivery, the house is in a golf course on a lake ... and there are not may lakes in that part of WA. The person does not want to sign my notebook because they can not see what they are signing for. So another paper copy.

I understand why corp wants the computer copy but the end users do not.

Finally on our way. I call Seattle and they are already locked up so we will pick up first thing in the AM. 7 AM. Not sure traffic will have cleared by the time we are ready to leave.

One stop for fuel in the rental in Ellensburg and then to the motel in Federal Way just south of Seattle. We had to stay a ways out to get a motel for less that $100. And this one is almost that much after tax. One of the Best Westerns was $400 plus ... a night.

I turn where the computer says and it's a well kept but vacant lot, twice around the circle and I know where I should have turned. We check into our Quality Inn and walk to the Taco Bell for supper.
