Don't Let Today be a Sign of the Whole Trip....

Today was a very hectic day. I am finally getting my computer up and running again. It seems that I screwed something up after downloading Telus' free Anti-Virus program, Freedom (any Win 2k users should avoid trying to use it). I tried a clean install of Win 2000 again, but was hacked before I could download a firewall or any service packs. A virus then infiltrated my computer forcing me to finally buy Norton. After 4 hours of downloads and scans, I think it will work. (I need to get it up and running for my parents to use while I am gone)
So I went into the MSAT office today to check out my (Brian, my training partner's) gear. Had to do a complete count of everything as well as dry out some of the tarps and such. I was then told by one of the owners that my van could not be delivered until tomorrow at 10 or so in Nanaimo. By the time it gets here and we put the roof rack on, it will be like 3pm! I'll catch the 4 if Im lucky and I have to be in Prince George by like noon on Friday! Yieep! Speaking of roof rack, is there anyone interested in giving us a hand in lifting this 400lb hunk of steel to the top of the roof of my van?
I'll try to update when I get to Whitehorse, most likely by Sunday.
Cheers to you all!

Hey Dave,
Someone had to be the first to post a comment...so it might as well be me!! Have a GREAT trip! Looking forward to all the pics, as well as hearing about all the adventures you'll find along the way.
Anyone willing to help you lift that 400lb roof rack yet? Good luck with that, I'll be busy at whatever time that takes place!
Have a great time, see you in September.

Ya, the best thing is they wanted me to recruit people to do it for NO PAY! Not even pizza and beer! Ended up getting extended family of the staff to help out
