Well it's day two and I'm still here in C-Springs. JT picked me up this morning at 7 and took me to a great little breakfast dive, the kind of place you'd never venture into or even find without a local at your side. I made a happy plate and got to pick a candy and get a sticker.
After JT dropped me off I chatted with e on the phone while I waited for the rest of the crew. When they showed up we got in the plane and started getting ready to go. As we approached the runway, the pilot started panicking a little because the plane wasn't stopping. We managed to come to a stop right before entering the runway. Right now I'm back in Base Ops surfing the web while I wait for the brakes to be fixed. Looks like we may be a little late to Reno after all.
Update, 4 pm Colorado time:
After way too much coordinating and waiting around, it was finally decided that we'd stay another night here in Colorado and then go home in the morning. I'm a little bummed that I could have shown JT the plane after all (I cancelled when we were going to be leaving early today). Since we're in town more than 24 hours we have to stay on base. Getting the rooms was another more than an hour mess, but the rooms are nice. Although the room claims to have high speed access, it's so slow that it makes it hard to do anything. I'm hoping that for whatever reason the network demand dies down later tonight. I'd hoped to not even be in the room but my calls to JT have gone unanswered. I hope I haven't been bothering him by calling home, cell, and pager.
