    No we don't do willow run anymore, whoever was paying the freight on that bread for Arby's out of omaha decided to haul it themselves about 6 months ago .
    Kinda glad because I always bounced to Philly to reload back here anyway .
    I do miss the tranquil drive across 17 in NY tho .
     
    Dale thompson and Brettj3876 Thank this.

    I hate philly with a passion. I'd take NYC over that any day. I've been going 20mi east of Philly a few times a week. I always run 78 down NJ31 instead of running down 476 and paying the stupid high toll road price

    I run both ways depending on how much time I have to play with and how bad I need tax deductions .
    It's been a pretty low expense year so far so the penn pike is getting some money from me .

    Points for Crown Royal. We'll ignore the apple part.

    Judges for this drinking session, are me, Jose, Jack, and Jim. Johnny was going to join us, but he got delayed at the airport.

    Nice setup. Buddy of mine down here on the sandbar, owns a pool cleaning business, and has a number of the rental homes as clients. Nice homes to. Some of their setups are crazy for the bbq area. I'll have to remember to have him send me the pictures he has of a couple of them. These homes rent anywhere from 5k a week up to 25k week(event homes, for weddings,etc). So some spectacular setups. Some really bad ones to. lol.

    Since everyone is bringing beer, I'll bring the liquor and sand.

    Beach party!
