Viking Convention....Here we come!

Well, our first day away from the store, kids and animals was fun and exciting!  We started our trip at 6:45 am and within the first hour we experienced a 15 degree drop in temperature, freezing fog and icy road.  Conditions improved dramatically after about an hour.  Most of our travel through Wyoming was a wind storm.  Then came Utah - wind and SALT don't mix.  A couple of hours of strong wind and salt made driving difficult for all.  A few trucks looked as if they would topple over.  A pickup truck pulling a trailer lost it's battle and ended up in the median.  We were really glad to get out of Utah....we could finally see more than 100 feet in front of us.  THEN came Nevada.  Elko Nevada was snowing...and I mean SNOWING!  What next.....

About 9:30pm (Colorado time) we made it to our hotel.  They didn't have our room so they upgraded us.  Bedside tables wrapped in duct tape doesn't sound much like an upgrade.  The rest of the room is wonderful though!

Off to breakfast and looking for a store.....First Target - closed (permanently), second Walmart - closed (permanently)...So, we opt for CVS.  No problem.  Get our stuff and head back to the hotel and what is right in front of the hotel?  A Super Walmart!  Go figure!

We have already met a few people here for convention.  Registration starts at 1pm and then opening at 6pm.  I am sure this will be a fun day seeing many other dealers.

Best news:  NEW software update.  I will tell you all later what it has!  I can't wait!
