Much consternation in Commodore land after last night's 57 point loss.
That was a beat down.Quote:

1400 mile drive begins tomorrow morning. Reese's mini cups on board, chocolate milk, tuna sandwiches, wife, dog.
Whoa! That's a hike. Where are you headed, and how many days will you take to cover the distance? Fellow road trip warrior wondering about your practices.Quote:

Heading to Florida, first driving escapade from VT to there in 40 years or so. As such, we're taking three days: day one to Delaware, day two to Lumberton NC, day three to New Smyrna Beach, Fl.Quote:

The days are gone when I once drove from far northern VT to Carrboro NC in 13 hours and never once got out of the car...my bladder has aged since then...thank you NJ people for pumping my gas, something I'm apt to see happen tomorrow.
Tuna on a long road trip. Bold choice.Quote:

I like these Marathon drives and my standard fare is a tall dark roast coffee with light cream and two stevia in the morning. My snacks are pork rinds and either pistachios or cashews with diet root beer or water to drink. I drove 14 hours 2 weeks ago today. I have to stop to pee and get gas but otherwise no stops.
Interesting list order you have there. Assuming it is in order of importance.Quote:

Road trip snacks for me: Fig Newtons and goldfish crackers, drinks vary. If I'm going to Vermont, I stop at the Hi Way Diner in Hooksett, New Hampshire and get the small disk shaped slightly chewy candies. Colors (in order of taste preference): orange, red, yellow, purple, green.
The only time I eat Fig Newtons is when I'm on a road trip.
Hooksett New Hamster, home of the very best interstate liquor (and wine) stores in these United States. I hesitate to praise the Granite State, but man, they do interstate liquor and wine better than anyone.Quote:
