Discovered that west virginia has amazingly beautiful roads in wonderfully twistie mountains. would have been crazy fun on the 848  ...but with a 35 foot RV, not so much. And on a side note, I learned how to read and navigate with a real paper road map (yeah I couldnt believe they're still being printed either). apparently west virginia is not compatable with the gps on my smart phone...  |

No problemo. Bring a small can/bottle of DOT4 brake fluid. That's all. I should be here by 11am.
You rock, thanks a lot... Cheers, Your humble apprentice |

That completely cracks me up. With a paper map and some skill on your part you know where you are. With a GPS anyone with the proper tech knows where you are at anytime. I find that a bit disturbing. Ask Ben the Hunter, aka Squirrel Killer.  |

Nope. That's North Cackalacky. Discovered that west virginia has amazingly beautiful roads in wonderfully twisty mountains.
Yes, it really does. Too bad it's such a pain to get there. |

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.
Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

My day started at 0400 (bleh) ... I always love early morning meeting w/ the boys in Wash DC! Successfully completed 2x language exams ... then picked up a bottle of DOT4 for Saturday. So, which beer should I get for MADDUCK?

Monday through Friday always starts at 0400 for me so I can totally empathize with you.  Gloria say I should start charging $$ for what I do. Meh, she has a narrow view. Me, I'm running short on Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale and Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. The Bigfoot might only be found at the Liquor Collection in Ward Warehouse at this time. I warn you that it is pricey so the Torpedo is OK and a little easier to find (but not much easier). This is assuming that the weather (ahem) cooperates. |
