What Erik said!

 

[trainrech]

Trailer check went fine. 40 is loaded. Clutch slave went out this morning - go figure. Have one on order and plan to install it after work tomorrow evening.

 

[trainrech]

Are we going to brown bag meals on the road, or fast food? My vote would be to brown bag/tailgate at rest areas since trying to get 6 rigs with trailers off the highway might be a little difficult. Thoughts?

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

Gas stops? And rest areas are fine. We have 4 legged passengers also that need breaks. You really are out of practice on these trips! Rob has to stop to stretch, my bladder sucks, colin is the only one that can go 8 hours without taking a leak! The military really stretched his bladder

 

[trainrech]

I’m good for about 400 miles between fuel stops. I like to hit a rest area for lunch and just eat out of the cooler - much easier and cheaper when you are traveling with 4 kids.

I'm bringing a 20 cup perk coffee pot, not sure how many addict's there are.

Not that you are kids lol. Just what we do on long road trips.

Age is reducing that capacity unfortunately. I am on board with @trainrech with regards to just eating out of the cooler.

You know in our circle we'll polish that off in no time. Is this an electric one? I'm not sure about the availability of electricity?

 

[trainrech]

While I'm all for bulk coffee delivery, I had planned on using a pour-over for coffee. As long as we have propane we are good.

 

[trainrech]

I'll also have this:

We’ll provide 1 regular donut and a 1 coffee for free to anyone attending this event. We are about 1000’ off the 114 exit on 81.

Route 8 Donuts
1225 West Main Street
Christiansburg, VA 24073

Just stop in and say hello!

 

[kc_chevota]

I do have a 40 and a 60 electric but I'm guessing we wont have power. I am bringing lots of propane, who's got the coffee?

Folgers and Maxwell House are not acceptable...

[trainrech]

Didn't Chef drink this?

 

[theSherpa]

If he did I’ve blocked that memory …

…this is the espresso maker he left me, it’s an Australian copy of the machine his momma used when I met him in ‘79, the fabled Atomic. So if he at some point sunk to General Foods as his cappuccino of choice, it wasn’t for not knowing any better
