And now we start.

Shelly and I agreed to me coming up on Thursday, 7 November, so I can get set up in the basement and meet Kev. The drive was absolutely horrid. My mentality was to just complete the trip; not trying for a land-speed record or personal best or anything like that. However. The idiots around me…
