Patrick,
    To get to my house, coming into town on highway 34 go over the bridge into
town and stay straight on Harrison. Turn Right onto Kings BLVD. Make another
right on Buchanan. All the turns are at lights. I live at 1919 NW Buchanon,
its a bluish colored house right across from fred meyers. I'll leave my truck
out front so its easier to find. The truck is a lowered regular cab burgandy
SLT+ with R/T rims. I'll either be inside watching the race, or in the garage
working on my challenger. Give me a call at 754-9584, or 760-7608.

later,
jon
