Just got back to my desk. Had to make a run this morning. No, not Tracy. They only needed a 4" strut strat, so it wasn't worth it. Plus I was in the pig. aka our '94 F-450 flatbed with a 460. Here's some fuel price insanity. I fill up the tanks on the way out. It's 2.599 for 87. I make the run up to Ballico. Use the front tank. So I figure, I'll be nice to the next person to make a run and top the back tank off and fill the front. It went up 8 cents in the freeking 2+ hours I was on the road.
To make the PSD crowd wince. The other night on the way home I passed a Chevron station on the way home. #2 was 2.959. Yes, that's right, two dollars and ninety-five cents per gallon! When it pops 3 bucks I'll take a pic. That station is THE most expensive station I know of for Diesel.
I think I've passed 1,000 miles of driving in the last week! Or close. 300+ Monday and Tuesday. Then just general driving 100+ up to Miami for the weekend. And 200 today.

funny how crude price increase = same day jack at the pump, but crude drop = "we have to sell off old stocks and that will takes several months". freakin bandits!!
when we drove ALL the way to Florence and none of you came to see us (except our good friend fishslab), there's this outfit that converts Prevost's and Greyhound type buses into some fancy slide-out mo-homes. they are SWEEEEEEEET. i betcha they gotta cost 1/2 mil. wish i could remember the name of the joint. they were near Coburg or Eugene, Oregon.

yep, MD, i know you gave it serious consideration. it was more of a slam directed at people from WA state, who's backyards i drove thru....and they didn't even come out for a visit (or invite me to a meeting place)! well, if any of you ever come up the the Great White North, i'll take ya fer a ride. i might even supply the quad.
we just looked at a beautiful log cabin (5100 sq/ft) on 10 acre parcel of land, right in the heart of our favorite riding area. i'm still drooling. and it's just beyond our affordability range. and we could ride form the front door.

sounds like yer headed to the Queen Charlotte Islands area.BTW, i know exactly what chicks yer talkin about and where. we call it an "Indian Reserve", and the free drinks will get ya a long way. if there's any other cheap/easy ones, i'd really like to hear where, cuz they ain't in this pinko city...unless yer payin', and you did seem to have a good handle on The Swedish Touch. Funny, i just had one of their employees living next door to me, but she already moved out. guess she didn't like all my oggling.
if you try feeding any other BS on me about easy chicks up here, I'm renaming you Walter Mitty, cuz it's clear yer living in a dreamworld.
AND think about what yer doin' to poor skinner's psyche!! he's prolly already booked his plane ticket and made his summer travel plans.
