How you doing Dean? 

doing okay. think I'm going to start packing the Jeep later today after my running around.
AJ Overrun robusto, looks kind of like an Oval going with my coffee.

Can you get everything in the Jeep or got to tow a trailer.  How many miles down there for you?

seeing how I don't have much to bring other than clothes and a few personal items I'm just loading the Jeep. the re-call repair I had done was for gas tank explosion problem if rear ended. Chrysler came up with the idea of installing a trailer hitch. so I got a free hitch yesterday. don't plan on hauling a trailer though. if it doesn't fit, it's not going. had thought of renting a van and dollie to haul the Jeep to save on wear and tear but cost too much. AAA figures 1,233 miles, 18.5 hours.

Trailers are a pain in the ass and kill your gas mileage so nice to avoid that.  1200 miles not too bad just avoid big cities around rush hours.  You trying to go all the way or going to sleep over somewhere around half way?

going to drive until I get tired, find a place to rest, whether cheap motel or parking area. probably avoid motels. would like to make Columbia, SC on the 1st leg.

Well make damn sure it is a safe area to stop and rest.  It will be pretty hot down there even at night.

who would fuck with an old man starting over in life?

Allot of people would.  It's common to get shot in E. St. Louis while stopping at a stop sign.  Also, small towns such as Washington Park (bordered with E. St. Louis), patrol Interstate 64 and can pull you over.  They have local laws on their books such as, "they can confiscate all of your money, and you have 72 hours to submit their paperwork to ask for it back, otherwise it's divided between a couple of other local cities that have the same laws."  By the time you figure out the law, the money is gone.  That happened to a Ram's Football Player with over $100,000.00 on him while on the way to buy a new car.

Good morning Dean, Native and Dave.

Mowing day for you Chip?  How was the food fair the other day?

possible a little mowing but I won't know until I check things out, it might still be to wet.
Food show went pretty well, tons of treats for the grandchildren to enjoy and I spent enough of the owners money to get a free mini IPad to give to my nephew, not a bad day plus 10 hours of overtime.

Win - Win for sure!

Had some Ovals on the Mash this morning but sold out when I checked at 4:00 a.m.   I like Ovals but out of them.

Give the AJF New World a try Dave.  Great price point!

I would look for someplace closer to I-85 or I-95 to stop.

I cut my grass yesterday morning around 8:30am (I bet my neighbors hated me), to avoid the heat.  My friend stopped over hoping to go out for breakfast, but he ended up just watching me work.  While he was waiting he caught a mole that's been driving me nuts.  He stepped on and collapsed all of the moles tunnels. Then sat in a chair and waited until he saw movement in the ground.  When he saw the ground move, he dug up slightly behind the mole (because the mole will start backing up when it hears the shovel), and he dug it up.

Good morning guys.

Good morning, Chip.  Getting ready to pack it up.  What are you smoking this morning?

Good morning Tony, I just finished a little Ninfa. Have you been up all night smoking?

I wish.  I had been up watching tv with the Mrs.  No smoking.  I passed out on the couch seconds after I clicked "post".  Transferring to the bed now. 

That's some start to the weekend!

Whack a mole!

[Bad Dad]

After cutting grass yesterday I was sweating like crazy.  I drank 2 large tumbler of water, 2 large tumblers of Dr. Pepper, 2 beers, and 2 more tumblers of water before I felt like I had to piss.  Later that night and this morning, I feel like I have water in my ear.  Can you sweat so much to cause water to form in your ear...?

That mole was driving me nuts.  Almost at bad as the year I had a pesky wood pecker for two weeks.

If you go on youtube, you'll find people that's so nuts over chasing moles that they are creating mole traps that use shotgun shells to shoot them..... yikes...!
