I hear you on the cost Randy Fuel is outrageous, feeding the Hyugo is bad enough, sure glad I didn't buy the Dodge Cummins I wanted a couple years ago

I handed off the TRT Yugo years ago when we hired a buncha new mods, I prefer burly manly trucks or SUVs but with a 90 mile commute I now drive Caspar the Hyundai, oh the pain

Bring Your Own Bus?

That was 3 days to get there, then 3 to get back. Its a fun way to see the country though. I'd have to save up some liquor for it though.

That would be a long bus ride, I haven't done that in years, would be great if you could make it out, even if we have to pour you off the bus

Get handed a 5 gallon jug full of something that resembles skimmate and be told "That's Randy!".

It's against the law to be sloshing drunk or to put the results in a jug?

That's about the only way I could get on a bus or train for that long is to be sloshing drunk and I haven't had a drink in a very long time. Although reading some of Tom's old posts is making me consider taking up drinking again.

There's a plan. I read tom's posts from now until july 1, get sloppy drunk and ride a bus for 3 days to sober up
