Pete is now at the approximate location where many years ago I tested rapid ejection from my Royal Enfield, by having my parachute accidentally open at highway speeds.  :rockon

Pete has arrived for lunch break, all good.
Pete, you have shaved 3 days of travelling time from your original trip agenda.

Be nice that you both will be home to celebrate Mothers Day.  :hatwave

We had a bit, but managed to avoid the heavy stuff.
