INTMD8 01-25-2014 07:56 AM

It's best to not think about it.

You can do the math, it hurts less.

3000 divided by....... 6 :hairpullout:

our Starbucks order ... just in case anyone is interested
 
1 venti iced latte with 1 shot of caffeinated espresso (out of 3 total)

1 venti "skinny" mocha also with 1 shot of caffeinated espresso (because 3 is just too much)

The masculinity runs deep here. :bigun2:

Don't forget Betsy likes her oil.

So, how's the food been treating you guys?

Roll on Gentlemen ! Your in the groove now.

GregWeld 01-25-2014 11:08 PM

Tonight while at dinner with 7 others ---- including Lennie Hamm who is beaming like a girl on prom night -- with his brand new @ first show ever Foulplay Firebird... I was trying to find him a part (chin spoiler) to replace his busted up one (he has a photo shoot on Monday morning)... so I UNBLOCKED a couple of the guys "on THE Thread" --- so I might inquire about possibly finding said part...

The phone started buzzing and chirping and lighting up like Chernobyl before the big blow.... 59 texts in about 13 minutes...


So... what's a guy to do?? EASY -- Block 'em all again. UGH!


The sad part is we are on separate road trips.... I'm dying to stay in touch and hear all the latest greatest about what they are doing.... not to mention the quips are straight out of the best comedy ever... but there's so much mayhem on the phone that it makes using it for anything else virtually impossible... so forced to have to take a scorched earth approach. It's all good... I hate it... but it's all good.

Vince@Meanstreets 01-25-2014 11:21 PM

don't worry greg, i'll put it on "texts on tape" for you and you can listen to it at your leisure. Im debating on Morgan Freeman or Samuel Jackson reading my lines.

Sieg is def Jerry Seinfeld.

It might sell as fast as Jim's (Ummgawa) book has!! And could be every bit as entertaining!! I know I've almost run of the road a couple of times laughing so hard!

No worries, the deal is if he gains over 4.99 lbs., Flash has to buy Rob some aluminum TP heads to compensate for the weight gain.

:popcorn2:

You guys have had to hit that point where your dying to sleep in your own beds, in a room with someone who doesn't smell like feet. Watching this train wreck has been a hoot, the texting has been a bit out of control. lol

The trip has truly been inspiring, I'm still looking on LA/Arizona craigslist for maybe a rust free 66 Bronco I can bring back to Maryland.

....or gasoline.

:tiptoe:


lol

GregWeld 01-26-2014 08:38 AM

Have they made it half way yet? And how many days are they overdue?




With the type of food they've been eating (fat deep fried in fat with beans and chili's) -- and the amount of yeast and hops they've consumed.... I can't imagine the "smells" in that truck.

Sometimes it's good to bring an extra rig so you can travel together...seperately.

If there's a contest where Rob is the clear winner it's the weight gain one. :trophy-1302:

You think the text train ends when the trip ends? Think again Ron. :lol:

Now go find that Bronc and get with it... would the family understand then? :headscratch:

We're actually only 1 day behind our "unplanned" schedule. We were talking that it would have been great to catch the end if the GNRS but whatcanyado.


Oh yeah Betsy is gonna need the Supreme detail when she concludes this journey. But the oil and fuel leaks have been the air freshener this far.

Flash68 01-26-2014 10:58 AM

Figured we start the final day with a little pick-me-up.

Did you say final day? Geesh, now I'm gonna have to go back to channel surfing, in search of something worth watching. Are you two sure you didn't forget something, perhaps in Tennessee? I really need a few more days of this. :thumbsup:

FETorino 01-26-2014 05:47 PM

3728 miles in the rear view mirror.
