Leaving early to go to Colfax

When I got up this morning I got my clothes down stairs so they could be washed and then made my way to work. I got a call from Pete about a suicide in Pullman. He wanted to know if I would work it with him. But I was in Seattle so that was not possible. He suggested that I go see the body when I get into town to investigate the wounds.

I went to work and got some bugs done and got some assigned to me. Noah, Chris, and I went to Qdoba for lunch. We also spent time in Chris’ office talking about playing poker. Chris is building an app that is used to tell you what you should do on certain hands depending on where you are sitting. It is pretty cool.

I decided I would leave around four to get home and get packed so I could get on the road to Colfax. It was going to be a long drive no doubt. When I got home I got some food and my clothes. I talked to my mom and played with Amber and Jen a little bit then I took off.

My power steering fluid was low so I added some at the gas station when I was topping off my gas tank.

The drive over was pretty easy, but it was slow going at points. The roads looked icy from time to time. I got to Colfax and stopped by the SO. I found out the guy who committed suicide used a shotgun. That is not going to be pretty to see. I am a little nervous about looking at the wounds tomorrow.

I went home and worked on getting files off my laptop and moving them to my external hard drive so they can be backed up. I wanted to go to bed sort of early because I planned on getting to the funeral home early enough to get to work and get stuff done.

Of course however I stayed up a lot later than I should have, finally finding my way to be around one in the morning.
