Text of the page (random words):
t off with my high rev rpms stall the moment i got into the circle and then drift off in a straight line with my engine off until getting the car back on and into gear to make my turn it looked kind of like what i would imagine the moon would do if it decided it was no longer happy going around the earth there must be an easier way to get from the airport to the highway that i needed but my bumbling method proved effective and 10 minutes later i was on the right road out of madrid about 5 minutes after that my phone locked on to gps confirming i was in fact going in the right direction at about 9pm or in spain dinner time if you were a small child and had to go to bed early i arrived at my hotel in olite thankfully not many people were out for dinner because per the hotel sign i was instructed to go down a street the width of a mini mini van where i would find parking for my hotel as indicated by the blue p next to the hotel name sounds easy enough i happen to be good at excel style math numbers relational formulas and things what i am incredibly not good at is geometry when you have a geometry problem that consists of a street that is as wide as your car the entrance to the parking garage is as wide as your car at a 90 degree turn the scraped walls from the previous peoples attempts of getting into the parking entrance looking right at you and both the front beeper sensor and the back beeper sensor are yelling at you at the same time surprisingly with two different tones i have a hard time solving this equation especially with this problem given to me on my 30th awake hour thankfully by this point i had already discovered 1st gear earlier at a truck stop and my beeper filled 12 point turn set me at the perfect angle to go down the parking ramp the next morning however my quick glance at the medieval city map telling myself to drive down this road take a quick right on this street and a left on this one to get out of town nice and easy was not the wisest plan about 3 minutes into driving i realized no streets are labeled the map was a suggested artistic resemblance and not drawn to scale and allowing cars on most of these streets must be olite s version of my quickly checking youtube every time it snows in portland those crazy fools crack me up thanks to some gracious soul in olite that carved out a hole in the stone wall at the perfect height of a mini mini van mirror i was able to make the final turn lets call it a 15 point turn as long as we can round down out of the city the rest of the trip of driving around spain was mostly uneventful minus the confusing murcia massive roundabouts which somehow had both stoplights and yields i am sure i did not handle these correctly looking forward to the next country your friend chad posted by chad at 12 01 am no comments monday april 05 2010 bum knee hello i thought there was a problem with the internet when i was trying to post but went with it anyway then the next day i saw what i typed wasn t posted or in the drafts gone away somewhere i guess that s okay but for some reason i can t type again what i typed before because it feels staged so a quick summary that will likely turn into its own post knew i could count on you ryan sorry amy should have counted you in on the short list thanks laurie i don t think you re a cheater just waiting for jasmine now really liked kaikoura my knee not so much after saturdays little jaunt 10k run through the bush in sydney with jose my right knee was doing some pretty weird things then the walk around the peninsula in kaikoura secured my thought that going down was bad only to go 1602 meters 5 250 ft up to the top of mt fyffe and then 1602 meters 5 250 ft back down to the bottom further confirming that going down is bad it is just plain weird to be in nelson again kaikoura was a new place for me but it feels like too many ghosts are here in nelson i walked into a grocery store tonight to look at some of the pricing of the food for work and realized i was in this grocery store before when i was more hungry in grubbier clothes and not able to buy so much i drive by the bridge that we walked over to meet katja pauline and hayley at the bar or see the hostel where thomas and i had a half can size of rice pudding because the grocery stores were closed for some holiday actually he had food and i had the half can size of rice pudding for dinner but a full bag of salt olive oil and butter which made me think i had plenty of food to eat whenever you hear someone say this is just a taste i m traveling to so many places to see where it is that i want to go back kind of a specific thing to hear but i have heard it so much tell them no don t come back go somewhere new the only exception to the above rule is italy everyone should go back to italy as much as possible crazy day tomorrow early flight to auckland some meetings during the day world s best hot chocolate which by some amazing weird chance is one block away from one of my meetings over night flight to hong kong flight to beijing then drive 5 hours to somewhere don t think it is actually in the region of mongolia because 5 hours drive time in china doesn t really get you that far so either i m not going to mongolia and just nearby it or the drive will be much longer than 5 hours if it were any other country i would put my money on the first one but since we re talking about china i think we re at 50 50 here 28 days down 4 more to go looking forward to going home again your friend chad posted by chad at 10 49 am 2 comments friday march 12 2010 14 hours hello yes this thing still works now normally this would not work in china but thanks to the ol remote desktop it thinks i m over in california that is definitely a hole in china s tight web of security i ve decided the main reason why i like flying it forces you to spend long hours of time with yourself take off talking with the guy next to me that looks and sounds like one of the doctors from mash and settling myself into the nest of blanket snacks pillow bottle of water laptop kindle ipod and more wires then are needed all takes about an hour then you have to come up with things to do for the next 13 one netflix film killed off the partially charged laptop a spacious but inconveniently placed seat on the plane canceled out the chance to really get into any of the six films but an attempt was made and sleep always erases a few here and there but in the end i have time to think and i think about how i need to make more time to think lay on a blanket in a park and think find someone with a giant trampoline and lay on it and think for some reason i always picture clouds along with this thinking and i see in my mind all the people i need to contact to say hi or the goals that need to be pursued how am i going to make egyptian food for jamie how do i get enough addresses to hand write letters to why are the italian lessons going so slow what would i write about on the old travel blog and there s only two people that read it anyway then with enough hours come the answers just use epicurious buy the stuff and make it people eat in egypt everyday they must make something i have a few addresses that s all the start i need it only goes slow when i don t listen to them write something i have never known what to write ever just start and try not to over think it to ryan and jasmine your friend chad posted by chad at 9 02 am 4 comments sunday december 28 2008 happy christmas hello i hope everyone had a happy christmas the trip to the airport to come back to las vegas was interesting enough for me with me refusing to take a 20 dollar bus ride and cursing the no change given rule freezing my face enough to slur my words and finally being picked up by a bus that shouldn t have stopped paying the right price and the bonus of having my pockets full of gummy bears and beef jerky had to make change for the 20 it has been another good christmas with the mom and brother i am eternally grateful for the london christmas with my mom in 2002 i think it has set the right example of the meaning of christmas in my mind at least one of the best things was seeing my friends with the wish that someday all of these people could live in one place again and the reminder that it will probably never happen it is always a battle for me of enjoying the seasons of having certain people in your life and then being able to let go when it is time to move on i m looking forward to going back to the snowy seattle i ve got a few ideas of sledding that i need to give a try it looks like it might be rain for the moment but i hope the snow makes another appearance although 40 degrees does sound pretty good compared to the dang 20s it was when i left but i do love the nonsound that the snow makes when it is falling if that makes any sense at all my goal of meeting all of my neighbors has been extended one month i ll be getting my new professional mixer in the mail soon so i can properly deliver goods to all the organic healthy eaters in the neighborhood how could i tell them the cinnamon rolls came from a can when i know some of them probably have not stepped foot into a safeway for a few years on the chance they might buy something that isn t pesticide free free range or grown by farmers that put their first names on the packaging i can t do that to them so we wait for the copper kitchen aid professional 620 mixer i don t know how big six quarts is but i m guessing i can make a lot with it so two goals new things for january 1 bring proper goods to neighbors 2 start the argentine tango dance class with jamie i don t feel like i m going to far out on a limb to say i am not the best dancer and so far word on the street is that tango isn t the easiest thing to do also i m not exactly sure how many different kinds of tango are out there i am hoping argentine is the most fun kind have a good day your friend chad posted by chad at 4 49 am no comments sunday november 23 2008 store bought cinnamon rolls hello finally one week later the jet lag has been conquered in a way it has been nice getting rid of the desire to go to bed at 4pm but i think i will miss the feeling of wanting pasta first thing in the morning although that might not have been so much of a jet lag issue but more of a carbohydrate addiction issue now the only flight plan for the rest of the year is going home for christmas looking forward to family time and ryan s annual christmas gathering not many other plans beyond that my goal for december is to meet all of my neighbors its been four months now but i have either been away on a trip or preparing for the next one i was hoping to make everyone cinnamon rolls with a new kitchen aide professional mixer but instead used the miles for my flight home for christmas next up will be the mixer but for now the neighbors will have to be ok with not perfect cinnamon rolls its time to dive into another winter round of making hot chocolates that will likely make me sick the body can only take so much heavy whipping cream it will pay off eventually and the reward of a perfect hot chocolate will be glorious italian dinner night with brian and allison i m going against everything in my body to not make pasta going to try the risotto this time have a good day your friend chad posted by chad at 10 12 pm 2 comments tuesday november 11 2008 do not walk on the black marble ciao from italia its been good fun in the italia the last week we just got back from going to martina s graduation i didn t really understand a whole lot of what was going on not too keen on the law words but apparently the thesis presentation was a success so she is on to the graduate school part last night was watching their salsa dancing class and some very very good bruschetta the places so far venezia walk walk walk walking bridges and churches and squares we found a great place for lunch that was right off the main street and not made or priced for the tourists and the indiana jones church which is no longer a library but is currently housing the ever touring da vinci machine exhibition i saw it about three years ago with my mom somewhere else in italy very nearly falling into a canal if it wasn t for a small piece of rope attached to the side of a wall it would have been all over with camera number four gone in a year lesson learned do not walk on the black marble it is slippery milano a communist union party rally and later in the same square trl mtv s total request live italia the great duomo and some quick thinking to get onto the roof you can t tell us its closed the last supper way bigger than i thought and whoever thought it would be genius to put in a giant door into the last supper wall didn t put a lot of thought into it it really is unbelievable the city is quite the land of fashion and i was finally able to buy the european jacket that i ve had in my mind next up a backpack invicta to be specific for the italian fans but it is a strange thing every single person has one but they are not sold anywhere seriously nowhere looks like it will have to be www ebay it for me verona be the first into the arena don t trust the city maps and buy the day passes for all the sights juilette s balcony was actually kind of cool for some reason nobody goes into any of the places so it felt bad standing out on juilette s balcony while every else was trying to take a picture from the ground they obviously did not purchase the day pass the most impressive for me was the castle i like to imagine the places i go as how they were when they were made with things like the gladiator arena it takes more imagination on my part and is probably not very close to how things really were but the castle made it easy to see things from long ago something about walking the castle walls at night with all of the bow and arrow slots the imagination didn t have to work very hard we also tried climbing the hill to a castle that over looks the city it was a good walk up but by the time we got to the top we were engulfed in cloud so not much to see it s great seeing mattia s home and family and friends they are all good people the chocolate is perfect i am determined to purchase a proper hot chocolate machine i think that is the only way to go have a good day your friend chad posted by chad at 11 24 am no comments tuesday november 04 2008 ladas still exist hello man with this hour change it gets dark way to fast and it always makes you realize how many clocks you have right now i m running at about 40 changed to the correct time the work travels have been good guatemala was good but not enough time in antigua i think i could eat that limoncello icecream thing every night of life i was most excited about ecuador i only went to guayaquil this time as a city not so much going on but the people were a it would have been creepy if it had been somewhere else kind of good nearly every single person i met wanted to know what i was doing there how long was i in town...
