Lynch Station, Virginia

I'd like to get one of those shirts before they impose trade restrictions on them. "A special tax on anything that has to do with Willie".

 

[sotc]

I'm in demand like that!

 

[arborworks1]

Pretty soon you are going to need your own forum...

 

[sotc]

I don't wanna be alone

 

[flushcut]

So far, you have to get it there from Wisconsin, 2 shirts coming right up!

There has to be somebody in the middle.

 

[sotc]

Still waiting to hear from the owner but through Paul, we struck a deal. FWIW, Paul is responsible for me nailing this truck down, huge thanks to him and to Butch for the forum that allows us all to get to know each other.
I fly out of here Thursday morning and arrive in Lynchburg Thursday evening. Hoping to square up a few details with the owner to make my trip efficient.

[gf beranek]

Sounds like another adventure!

 

[arborworks1]

So mcdonalds for dinner Thursday??

 

[sotc]

Umm, i'll have an iced tea then I guess

 

[MasterBlaster]

We have damn good iced tea. We have to hustle just to keep enough brewed.

 

[woodworkingboy]

I digs me a big mac, had one yesterday with fries. It seemed particularly tasty. The fries are a bit generic, I think they should try leaving the skins on.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I like my fried taters with the skins on, too. I'd be happy if they'd just come out with a whole wheat bun.

Next time, tell them to make the Mac with 4:1 patties, NOT the original 10:1's. Muy bueno!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wonder if they would know what I mean over here by saying 4:1?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Better than saying quarter pounder, I bet... but who knows - try any combo.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Oh, quarter pounder, I wasn't sure what it meant myself. At your place, can anyone request that? Do you think that they would go for it?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yes. We do and they should, too.

 

[woodworkingboy]

OK cool, I'll have to give it a try.

 

[sotc]

So my intended route will be along these lines. Anyone near enough to grab a meal on the way through? I have never been on a toll road in my life, how much do they toll you? Anyone know which of these roads are toll roads?

 

[lumberjack]

Fair bit north of me! Toll roads vary by state and even road/ both. Take cash, they don't do debit cards normally. New Jersey is the worse I've seen, Chicago and Florida are the same. You'll get charged by the axle most likely. A hundred plus bucks cash is rarely a bad thing to have on such a trip.

 

[Rborist1]

An empty Gatoraid bottle can come in handy too.

 

[sotc]

Toll booths accept piss bottles? Good to know!

 

[gf beranek]

You ought to stop in Manhattan, Ks, Willie and visit Charly Pottorff. You won't regret it. Not far out of your way either. He'll set you up and probably find some work for your rig to pay expenses.

 

[pantheraba]

What a cool suggestion...I have seen that name batted around a few times...legendary fellow as I remember.

 

[gf beranek]

Charly is the man.
