State of confusion, lol

I haven't slept in 2 days. :waveflag: I made it to Boston where DG picked me up and we drove to Portsmouth.
Then we drove to Portland and found what has to be the best brewery on the East Coast.:woot: :woot: Well at least for now.

And there we found another lost guy from the West Coast.:headscratch:

:cheers:

Well Massachusetts State Police know what state I'm in cuz they pulled me over twice so far for speeding. Of course they gave warnings both times since I am a straight shooter Californian. :trophy-1302:

Ok so these 3 pics in order tell pretty much tell the story of the day. :G-Dub:

Rolling up to the garage

Drove a few miles and got gas.... then back to the garage :hitaxeonthehead:

Throwout bearing was howling real good intermittently so I told them to throw that and a clutch in it ASAP and went back to rent a car (the same car I had earlier) and went to pick up Rob at Logan and resume the bar hopping up the coast until the next day....

Better now than later I figure..... :gitrdun:


Oh, and a special treat was seeing Matt Alcala touring in his band in the basement lounge of Thirsty Moose Taphouse in Portsmouth, NH. Really disappointed you didn't give us a heads up Matt.

This thread may break post count record here on Lat-g. There is going to be so much to write about and us all giving you a hard time.

Dang how did Matt beat you guy here?? It must be that private jet for the tour. :G-Dub:
I'm glad you guys found a good place to spend some time while you wait for the repairs to the truck. Are you going to make it to ABS to check out Jay's car?

So exactly how far did you travel on day 1?

How many beers did you down? :goggles:

How long was this going to take?

Gotta give Matt credit though for being one of the few on here so busy livin his own life (instead of living vicariously through another members' thread), that he neglected to tell his fellow FErd dudes of his best coast victory tour.

:popcorn2:



:D

Dave/Rob here's another reccomedation for a stop in Philly. Can't vouch for the food but I can vouch for the beer! http://www.yardsbrewing.com/
Hopefully you guys get headed south today. I gotta work all weekend or I would head up there and meet you guys and have a few. Safe travels!

I'd say it's possible only because we may not make it home for awhile. :lol:

Yeah so far the delay wasn't a biggie... hopefully all goes well today and then we are on our way south. Weather is about as good as we could have hoped.

Not sure on Jay's deal.... our route is still not determined heading south from Maine... it's possible.

Well total travel in the truck for day 1 was about 8 miles. :lmao:

Today is the big day.

Beers? Well I'd have to say somewhere between 4 and 9. :peepwall:

The 15% "#1 Dad IPA" was a big hit last night. :cheers:

Thanks John!

The Three Stoodges....


You guys have the band play ----- "Stuck in Oh-so-pissy again"? <hummed to the tune of Creedence Clearwaters Lodi >


Good thing you met up with Ron - he's got a corporate Amex.
