Registered in Washington, ready to pick up

[Mark K]

We got the car insured and received the MCO from Brammo on Friday.  Registered the car and received the plates today, Monday.  We'll be down in Ashland on Friday to pick up the car and start driving north.  As we had been told it was a very straight forward affair to register the car in Washington State, took all of 15 minutes!

Congratulations!  Careful on the passes if you're driving back.
478 miles door to door. Brammo to Kirkland.  A little further for you.

[Mark K]

Yes we'll be driving the car back, its about 513 miles door to door.

You planning on any stops? 

It took me 8 hours 31min and that was solo (without a catheter)
Stopping for gas, the occasional snack and pitstops.
Rain will slow your avg speed down quite a bit.

Nighttime hours not a great experience on I-5 in an Atom if you're unused to it.

So I'd recommend getting clear of Ashland ASAP if you plan to reach Olympia before rush hour.
If you want company some of the way, call from Portland.

Still got my number?

Mark is going to be making a bunch of stops.  We are planning a drive around Portland with him on Saturday.

Enjoy your trip.  It's a much better idea to break it up into segments.
Hi to the gang in Portland.

[Mark K]

It will be a great trip, rain or shine!  I have your number.  Looking forward to meeting Bolus and DarthChicken.

So, give me a call when you leave Portland. 
Maybe I can drive and meet you in Olympia for a Starbucks and convoy North. 
Maybe other NW Molec guys would be in it too?
Just like the prom, eh?
Only different, somehow.

We'll be leaving Portland headed for Seattle mid morning Sunday.  I'll give you a call just before we leave.  Just to make sure I have the right number, I have the one that you sign off with on your email.
