So I've been putting off writing the tale of our third day in Tallahassee for quite a while now.  I've spent the time trying to find some kind of deeper thought or higher purpose to throw into the story but I doubt it'll ever come along at this point.  The story follows....

I don't want to say I woke up hung-over, but I also don't want to say I woke up feeling Tony-the-Tiger-Grrrrrrrreat! either.  It may have been in part because of the weather.  We had an outdoor pool bash planned and it was already overcast at noon.  It wasn't long before it rained and we were forced to come up with some alternative solutions.  James's idea was to clear his living room and play there.  Which was a great idea except that he lived on the third floor.  We decided on doing a lighter "acoustic" set to tone down on the amount of gear we'd have to haul up the stairs, but ended up bringing up much of it anyways.  

We set up, the people came, there was much drinking and making of music and good times were shared by all.  There was a keg in the shower, we played a few pretty good sets, and the police came twice (I've never seen anybody smooth talk the police like those guys in Tally.)  

Time flew by and before we knew it the party was over.  We only took a few minutes to rest before hauling all the gear back downstairs to load up.  It was 3:00AM when we left and our U-haul rental was up at 10:30AM.

Unlike the way up, I eventually had to give up the wheel due to exhaustion.  I was at that point where I knew if I fell asleep we would probably die, but I still couldn't stop my body from shutting down.  So Garret got to drive for a little while.  Filling up the radiator every 30 minutes had become standard procedure. Looking on the up-side, atleast we weren't leaving great white trails of smoke anymore.

I ended up bringing the U-haul back only a few minutes before 10:30.  A week later the Caddy died on the 408 and I'm still perplexed about how we made it to Tallahassee and back.
