    Lost track. Was getting quite desperate for awhile.

    Think last trip ended like 4:1

    Was really bad for awhile, like 6:1

    This trip is much better so far. 2:1

    Need to do mileage. We're at like 2600 miles. Tomorrow will be a good time to get back to 3/4 ( where we started ) and see where we're at.

    I know dead head is a whopping 32 miles lol.

    The next DH tomorrow is moar substantial. Like 170 miles.

    If the miracle load happens after that, it very well may, that DH is also 8 miles lol.

    back in college was involved in a study for UST US tobacco makers of Skol and Copenhagen snuff at the time they were afraid of raising the price over $1.00 per can. At the time the common thought was there was no way they could get over a buck a can and would lose customers. When they tested the price increase in small markets that were far away from other stores the customers did not complain at all and they rolled out the new pricing nationwide and blowing through $2.00 a can in less then 18 months. I can’t believe what they get per can now $6 to $7 even more so that the cost to produce a can is about 50 cents.

    A big portion of the price is the sin tax. States have done their level best to outlaw tobacco. But you can eat a pot brownie

    Still pretty awake now. I told The OM when I got back from the store our goal was to sleep all day.

    She just looked at me.

    Got pretty fortunate on that night trip.

    Between the shipper, the trailer, and that storm, all the fluff got taken out right from the start, so there wasn't really any time for naps in the wee morning hours.

    Stopped and took one, for one hour, on the second day.

    Seriously slept like rhinoceroses last two days lol.

    Ken Gruby.

    Freshman football.

    Ken Gruby was 16 as a freshman, and like a grown man, could already bench press 300 pounds.

    I'd just turned 14.

    "Here Benyo. Take some of this."

    Copenhagen

    I think that was one of the times I was most violently ill in my life lol.

    Crikey I'm caught up. Have been behind for a couple days ago. Fell down a KTM rabbit hole last night. Nearly finished with Ice Ghosts. Fantastic book. Those guys were made of different material.
