Ok, it never ceases to amaze me that any time off can really change my endurance as drastically as it does. I actually shut down at a rest area just to the west of Boardman, Or. I was just beat. I had another 1/2 hour of my 14 hour clock, but I usually have energy to spare and I was a fighting it just to make it that far. In fact I would have shut down in Portland but for the fact that parking was very sparse.

Qualcomm is going nuts as the company is letting all drivers know that the upgrade (interesting to know that was the cause of the downtime. Seems someone could have been a bit more forthcoming about that information before hand.) has been completed. Message after message.
