Spring Creek or Bust

We left here wed. night excited for an adventure of a lifetime (ok, so this year's adventure) Rick had found the motorcycle he wants for the right price so we went on a road trip to Cedar City, Utah,about 400 miles from Spring Creek. I packed everything and Rick took off early from work so we could get there earlier. We had a room reserved at the Cedar City Days Inn. Now Zac has never stayed at a hotel before so he was curious about how that all worked. We stopped in Ely, NV which is the halfway point for a potty break and snacks. Rick called George the owner of his Yamaha 1100 and told him we were on the way, that we were staying in Cedar City and what time could Rick call him in the morning? So the phone rings about 20 min. later... it was George.... he says to Rick 'I have a predicament' the guy had sold the motorcycle after telling Rick he wouldn't show it to anyone else before thurs. afternoon. I can not begin to explain how upset Rick was! Here we were over half way to Cedar City, it was too late to call the hotel and cancel the reservation..... you get the picture? So we went to Cedar City, stayed what was left of the night, had breakfast and headed to SLC. The adventure of the year had turned into a nightmare. We stayed with Courtney. We looked thurs. afternoon and most of Fri. but the bikes we looked at were just that much more $ than we planned on spending. On top of all this Katie went into heat the day before we left............ and Chance discovered he is a male dog. So during all of this I am trying to keep them apart! Needless to say after all the stress.... not sleeping.... not finding a motorcycle.... I told Rick I wanted to just go home. There were a lot of reasons why and I was really tired and the whole reason for going had been busted so lets go home and have the rest of the weekend. So we did and here we are spending a quiet sat. just the 3 of us... and Katie the dog in heat and Chance the boy dog going after her every 'chance' he gets! So how was your week?

That is a total bummer! I think there would have been some yelling if that had been me.
