Alright, what's the deal? where are we meeting and at what time? Am I picking up you Matt?

[Jim]

As far as I know:

•Myself, crazy paul and AJ are meeting at the shop about 500am
•We leave there and meet you guys at exit 8 off 84 at 530am

What is the final route we are taking from exit 8 out to indy? are we just using mapquest? Im going to try + snag a GPS from one of my buddies.

[Moose]

I'd say 0530 @ Fast Freddy's Exit 8 I-84. Moose

No EZ pass:nopityA: :Paully6: :smilielol:

[dieselnomad]

Did you dudes all get there OK, in one piece, so to speak. I hope the ride was good.

I was gonna write in this AM before you left, I got bit by a ULSD free flow. Clogged fuel filter and had to change on the road. But, i had 10k on the filter anyway so who knows. But, i will tell you this, there was A LOT more semi-solid stuff floating 'round the fuel bowl than ever before. Get some filters before heading home.
Have a great time and be safe. If you get this while there, turn off the computer and do something a bit more fun... :smilielol:
later!

[Jim]

Ya let us go have some fun dammit:smilielol: More to come soon!!

[dieselnomad]

GEESH! Go do it then! I'm watching the CW :smilielol:

Enjoy! Take some pics/vids,huh? :)

[Jim]

A couple CB,s and antennas later:falldownlaugh: we are out here Myself, moose, moose JR, AJ, warpig, matt95, crazy paully+wife made the 13hr ride without issue, very little traffic. Got in around 730P and went to dinner and then attempted to meet everyone at amerihost but it had started rainin and everyone went inside I guess moose met up w/holeshot as he went out there a little earlier then us.
Things learned thus far:

You cannot to expect to get a good nights sleep in the bed of your truck at the shop

EZ pass is only useful if there are tolls along the road you are taking

Lady truck drivers can handle there own on the CB

"room service" likes to make alot of phone calls:smilielol:

Chinese escort services are $40 to show up at the door, and $300 after that:smilielol:

Paul can drive down the road and hang his boney arse out the window, while maintaining speed and control of his dually

we pay waaaayyy to much for fuel in new england.

Peace out fo now:coorslight:

[dieselnomad]

2.89 for 21 gallons this morning. What is it out there?

Sounds like the ride went well, cool.

oh yea, about the chinese escort service, ask how much additional if they bring 5 gallons of good clean WVO :smilielol:

[Jim]

$2.61:omg: This am! Chinese escort service was just called for haha's. :smokin:

[12PACK]

we pay waaaayyy to much for fuel in new england.


Sounds like the red stuff is more readily available in the midwest. :nono:

Checking Pilot or Flying J's web site and you can see how much cheaper it is out there.

Have any of you oil burners called your local oil companies and see if you can buy direct instead of retail? I paid $2.64 my last fill up. My old place, a high volume Mobil right off of 190 was $2.87. 87 was $3.07. The only good thing about that is one of my coworkers has an 07 Hemi. :nutkick: I don't know if I'm the green guy or his gas pump is, but I'm positive he's the yellow guy.

I :professor: told him before he bought not to get the Hemi. I guess he's just a :Paully6:.

Have a blast out there, guys!
