     As I mentioned in the last couple of podcast shows, this week 2 buddies and I are heading on the road trip of road trips. All three of us are piling into a 2007 Sierra quad cab and will travel from Ames, IA to Bloomfield NM, to visit Allison Customs and then on to the Barrett Jackson auction. The entire trip will take 5 days and will cover just over 3000 miles. In between there will be plenty of greasy food, stupid jokes, and hijinks a plenty. We'll all be sharing driving duties, which is usually something I stay away from if I can. I hate to ride in cars for the most part (I prefer to drive), but the guys that I'm going with can all wheel pretty well so it shouldn't be a problem. They love to drive as much as I do, anyway.

The beauty of it all is that this is a legitimate work trip, so it's deductible! While that alone is not a good reason to start a business, it sure is a nice perk. I've been constantly surprised in my business how many of the things that I do that are "fun" are actually work related, since car shows, race events, etc. are all things that are "part of the job." If I could somehow now figure out a way to get everything done in under a bazillion hours a week things would be just about perfect!
