Earthquake Round 2

Tracy just experienced her first earthquake minutes ago. For me it's my second in just three months. We will have to watch the news tonight to see what magnitude it registered at...UPDATE...it was a 5.0 magnitude. It was fairly small, but it had enough pop to tip over Dan and Miranda...the picture frame. Maybe we will secure a few of the items a little better as we finish setting up the apartment.

It seems like quake activity has picked up recently. We are overdue for at least a 6 magnitude soon. I wouldn't be surprised if a 7 or better rips off while we are here!

The last quake had more rumble to it. This one was more of a pop with one light rumble and a hard jolt. This was .9 larger than the last one, which is a pretty significant size difference. See my last earthquake post to understand just how much magnitude differences impact overall fell. Got to love living close to the fault line!

We will keep you posted with a detailed update on the apartment tomorrow.

Gas Total

So, we left New Hope, MN with 3/4th a tank of gas and ended up in SoCal with the same amount in the tank. We filled up a total of 6 times with a couple of those fill-ups just topping off during food / stretch breaks.

We actually came in under our estimate at $110.99. If you add in another $22 to fill up the Jetta after our trip down to San Diego to pick up my truck on Sunday, we are at $132.99. Not bad!!

We spent about $30 in food and $109.95 for a night stay in Amarillo. Oh, lest we forget about the $5.25 to drive through Kansas of all places. The trip total was $278.19. The best news is it's not costing us a dime, it's covered as moving expense.

Speaking of moving, the movers show up tomorrow with the rest of our stuff, it's going to be a busy week trying to keep up with the to-do list.
