Off On A Road Trip....

[ltxi]

....tomorrow am. Two plus weeks. Maine for 30th anniversary of how the hell did this happen thingy with wife, then drop by my sister's place in PA for a few days on the way back. I drive and wife flies, so it's like three vacations in one....for both of us.

The fly in the ornaments, fer me anyway, is hotel lobbies and radio Trump first thing in the morning...followed by Clinton...followed by Trump...followed by...rinse and repeat. Doesn't help I listen to NPR onna road.

Anyway I'll be gone for awhile and fer those who always counsel against public postings of travel plans....please PM me before 10 am MDT Friday for address where we can be not at gun point easily house robbed.

When I go on long multi-state drives, I listen to a book on CD, works great. You can borrow from a local library or buy one at Cr@cker Barrel. Once you buy one usually around 40-45 dollars. You can swap it out at another Cr@cker Barrel, they deduct 3.50 per week. Beats listening to NPR all the time. Every now and then I get a really good book, and sit in the parking lot waiting for a good spot to stop. At the end of your trip, you can turn the book in and get your balance back.

Anyway, have a safe trip.


For some reason, I had to change the spelling in Cr@cker Barrel, otherwise it was all ******.

Throw everybody off....leave a shotgun sitting by front door.

Agree, audio books are neat for road trips.

Hey, isn't that a Kodiak double rifle? I wouldn't mind having one of those puppies...wouldn't mind at all:cool:
A somewhat matching howdah pistol would be nice as well: http://www.northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/threads/217439-New-Acquisitions-for-August-2013?p=3372812&viewfull=1#post3372812

[Bawanna]

It is sweet, I want one two. We best start shopping for one of them 2 for the price of one deals.

That's gorgeous.

[wyntrout]

Well, you would get two barrels! :D

Good luck, Itxi! Wifey and I got together at Loring AFB in March '87 after being apart for a year... married March '86, too. Congrats, if appropriate! :D

[Bawanna]

I spent 31 years with the same woman as of last Wednesday. Tomorrows her birthday, scratch that off the list and I think I'm good till Christmas.

[AIRret]

Congratulations to you and your wife.

I downloaded all of my CDs to an I Pod. I just plug it in and let it play in random order. You never know what tune is next and you listen to songs you always forget to put on. Best part is that instead I'd a cubic foot of CDs I have a slim little I Pod in th console out of the way.

[Bawanna]

Another advantage to being deaf. I wouldn't even know my van has a radio unless on road trips where the wife plays CD's or she has one of them little Ipod things. She can play whatever she wants and it don't make no difference to me.

Almost always George Straight or Reba to me no matter what she plays.

Didn't know I had a CD player till she shoved one in the front.

Back I am...and done with road long haul tripping for the season. Next one up is Maine again come late May next year. Road trip GT gonna need new shoes afore then.

I'm a book lover and I know a lot of folk like audio books but I've never found that format attractive. I'm a "driver". Driving takes first priority attention, and I'd miss stuff in books. NPR and a couple other XM talk channels, plus classical CDs do me just fine.

We do many road trips….just for fun! 80% of the time there is a very vague destination. We kind of decide (for the most part) our destination as we go.
That may be good strategy if hilabeast wins.
