What A Long Saturday!

Yesterday was the Mustang Run with the Thunder Mountain Mustangs & what a F*ing joke. We were told to be there BY 9:30 & we'd leave shortly after. We didn't leave til 10:10 & the 5 cars that went on our "run" were all there by 9:30. Then the president is seriously a dick driver & they didn't know where they were going. He sped leaving the rest of us trying to keep up. The last car got stuck at the light so we were trying to keep the front guys in sight but not so fast to try & let the last guy show up. Dick kept weaving in & out of traffic & a few of the other drivers were dumbf*cks too. Dangerous! We passed our street so of course finally he slips into a super busy lane & Mike & I were the only ones that didn't make it over. We finally find 3 of the cars & as soon as we turn into that area they take off & of course, we weren't able to make it across traffic to follow them. The group is crap. If you aren't 40+ & have been a part of the group awhile then they don't really talk to you. There was literally 2 groups the old asses & then Mike & his co-worker. We FINALLY get to Sabino Canyon & it's nothing. First you had to pay to park & then the trolley cost too. We never carry cash we always use the card so what the heck. The other NICE mustang, the only other modified mustang, which ended up being Mike's co-worker was in the same boat. His family also wasn't dressed for a walk around this place. The wife also has hip & knee problems so she couldn't.
Here's what the lead of the group should do & should have!!! EVERY CAR GROUP when going on a trip needs these:

• Research, Research, Research!!! Know all about the place we're going!!!
• Know WHERE we're going & HAVE GPS! or print directions for everyone
• Stay together as a GROUP, what makes it a club if we're all separated
• Have a meet location before the destination in case someone gets separated
• Tell other drivers What they need to bring (cash) & what kind of attire to wear or what type of destination it is.

The head guy did NONE of this & he never has. He acts like it's a large family trip, wait no because families stay together. It was basically his group of friends going on a ride & we were the 5th wheel. That was our last trip with that joke of a group!

Once we got to Sabino Canyon, Mike & his co-worker(&family) decided we were going to drive up to Mt. Lemmon instead. It was an hr drive which at least 40 of which was driving UP the mountain. It was cooler, it was GORGEOUS, Fresh Air! The only restaurant (which is a cookie bar) was packed & we had to wait for around 15-20 minutes in line but it was pretty tasty. We found a table easily inside. The guys split the cost (cause it was pricey). D got the soda(for 5 people) & 3 cookies which are the size of a paper plate & Mike got the pizza. All pretty tasty!!! :) They each spent $25 which isn't too bad in a rich mountain town. The co-workers family are from Georgia so they were SUPER friendly & the wife & I talked up a storm the whole time. It really was such a wonderful time. Then we all came home. Our day started at 9 & we got home at 5:15. LONG day of driving!

We get home & I really did not over eat (& my schedule was all messed up. I normally eat lunch at 11 & we didn't eat til 2:30) so I was hungry by dinner time. Mike didn't feel like going out & I really didn't want pizza again but if Mike won't leave the house, he won't leave the house. Pizza it was. I've been craving Burger King for WEEKS! Literally weeks, 3-4 now & surprisingly the thought of a greasy burger was disgusting. BK isn't even that greasy but the thought of a fast food burger repulsed me. Soooo weird. Pizza is SOOOOO way more greasy but I don't know. The pizza we had wasn't that good. I don't remember the name but it was alfredo sauce, spinach, a few cheeses, ham, chicken, onions, & mike added sausage. Not that tasty. We also got chicken strips which they put the wrong sauce, good thing we had buffalo sauce here, but those were pathetic. Mike loved them. They reminded me of cafeteria chicken flat strips.

Oh well, we had some good food, some good company, & a good time.....once we ditched the TMM group. Haha!
