    Robert - you suck. That is all.

    In other news; I am back home from Macon,Georgia. All in all it was expected to take around 32-34 hours and we did it in 30. It was a pretty nice trip overall. We averaged between 70-80 mph (Alabama's 55mph is a joke) and the truck averaged 21 mpg heading out and 19 mpg coming back with 1,100 lbs of lathe in the bed. I'll load a couple pics later.

    Some assembly required.... in the truck was an Enco lathe with stand and shield, and my new bumper from Youngblood (thanks man!)

    The truck loaded up...

    The contents of the back seat - Good beer! No beer was consumed during the travels of this trip.

    The lathe stand assembled and the lathe just setup in the middle of the garage. He still has a few things to do with it before it is going into production; but everything works and is in good shape.

    Overall it was a great trip and I can't wait to do another long haul.

    I'll add that the heavy leaf springs and Firestone bags really made the truck handle the load right.

    My first time with Yuengling and I do agree it is a good beer. I'm shocked that it only cost $11 a 12 pack; since everyone is always raving about how good it is.

    It's just a good tasting, inexpensive beer, like Shiner. You can get it pretty much anywhere on the east coast though, but not out here or out west, so when people move they start to go through withdrawal....

    Basically, yep. It's not the same type of beer though, it's a lager. It's also the oldest brewery in America, fun fact.

    I did look it up because the bottle top said that and I wanted to double check it. Interesting the stuff I learn because of drinking.



    For the record; I have wondered out of the Tx section and have not had mod actions against me yet and I haven't had to call them cock suckers either. I think I'm turning a new leaf! The mentioned thread
