(8:00:39 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: went to get my car first then got told grams was 'unwell'
(8:00:52 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so we went over there to see how she was doing and she was really bad
(8:01:14 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: she's got an inflamed ... whatchamacallitinenglish-the-organ-that-keeps-your-balance
(8:01:16 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so it was all out of whack
(8:01:31 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: and she was throwing up and seasick and ill and hadn't slept a wink so she was really bad...
(8:01:36 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so hung around there for about an hour
(8:01:40 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: then decided to head home
(8:01:42 PM) Bexx: =/
(8:01:49 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: got stuck behind... first a friggin BMW X3
(8:02:10 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: doing 30km around bends with a 'suggested' speed of 50km but where you CAN do 70km and are allowed to do 80km
(8:02:23 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: stuck behind that bastard for about 15 minutes
(8:02:41 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: then got stuck on the dijk behind... EVERYTHING it was one big throng of cars littered with trucks
(8:02:43 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: it's a 100km road
(8:02:49 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: we did 80km all around
(8:02:52 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: except in the corner and bends
(8:02:58 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: where we sometimes even went as fast as 60km
(8:03:23 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: then after the dijk I was hoping to speed up a bit but again the whole way where I got stuck behind a caravan that morning I got stuck behind a truck and it's littered with traffic lights
(8:03:26 PM) Bexx: hahaha
(8:03:33 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so we had a top speed of 80km where you're allowed 100km
(8:03:43 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: and betwene the lights we barely made 70km usually
(8:03:49 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so I was all "RAWR!" at that point
(8:03:50 PM) Bexx: Yep, enjoy that....The frustration with going tragically slow is terrible XD
(8:04:00 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: because I was all rawr and desperately wanted to get past that goddamned truck
(8:04:11 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: ended up in the turning lane
(8:04:15 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: no way out
(8:04:21 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so found myself in the dinky little town of Enkhuizen
(8:04:37 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: where the first chance you get to turn is DEEP IN THE CENTER of the dinky town on the AH parking plaza
(8:04:42 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so I turned, headed back
(8:04:48 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: finally got to actually do the speed limit for a while
(8:04:55 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: even made it to the highway
(8:05:11 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: then decided I was getting pretty tired so I'd head off to Alkmaar to show of the mint to my mom
(8:05:23 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so I Was driving along following the signs all GPSless
(8:05:31 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: hoorn - alkmaar
(8:05:41 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: then it turned into Amsterdam HAarlem, which is waaay further out than I cared
(8:05:45 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so the first exit Alkmaar I could get I took
(8:05:50 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: which... send me on an 80km road
(8:05:54 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: all the way through the fucking polder
(8:05:59 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: THERE WAS NO END TO IT
(8:06:02 PM) Bexx: XDDD
(8:06:08 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: which resulted in me coming onto Alkmaar from the completely opposite side
(8:06:10 PM) Bexx: Maaaybe you might need teh gps afterall :P
(8:06:18 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: but I'm reasoably familiar there so I figured I could do it
(8:06:28 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so I went the way i knew I'd get to centrla station where my mom lives close to
(8:06:53 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: but just as I made the crazy steep upward turn (in the dodgy first gear) I noticed they had a silver electric tap cros thorugh the arrow on the sign
(8:06:55 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: menaing ... no go
(8:07:00 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: but can't turn around there either

(8:07:12 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: to which I balked so bad
(8:07:24 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: I acutally started to turn in the tiny dinky road RIGHT INFRONT of the garage
(8:07:31 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: where people were coming and going
(8:07:34 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: it was so tight and narrow and busy
(8:07:48 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: that all the shop owners came out to seem e do a 9 point turn to turn the mint around
(8:08:01 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: betwene crazy cyclist
(8:08:07 PM) [ SR ] [Gimpy ]: so after that I was all "grhoeihoihg O___O"
