All is good now! I think!

Chris kind of likes to play it loose with the missus. She's on a "Needs to Know" basis. Chris tried to foist the whole idea of this trip on me, I may have initiated both the MN and this trip with tips on trucks but I didn't hold a gun to his head. I plead "Innocent" to any domestic intranquilities that have or might develop because of this incident.

On our next trip we are going to definitely plan one hotel room!!!

30 hours in the cab of a truck with Chris might sound like fun to some but it does kind of wear on you. Still, both road trips were fun especially drafting behind semis at 80 mph.

Maybe Chris has to back off on the truck stop chili.

Chris didn't have any chili but earlier in the day we stopped at The BBQ Shack in Paola, KY, it was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and Chris, Andy and I shared a sampler platter which consisted of some really good BBQ food, one being smoked sausage. The sausage came back to haunt me when both Chris and Andy thought it a good idea to orally relieve themselves of gas. They took turns, it wasn't very pleasant.

Just be glad that the alternative gas release orifice wasn't utilized*.

*Assuming no incidence of the dreaded SBD eruption.

So, last trip was with two slobbery dogs and this one was with gassy riders. Don't want to consider what sort of enjoyment might be part of any future excursion.

What was your route. You live in IL & WI. You called Chris's wife from IA and had BBQ in KY. I guess I can see 30+ hours with a round about trip like that. Could that have been Paola KS? But it sure was successful and sounded like fun

Nice truck Chris! Sounds like an adventure, bodily functions and all. Bob, I would hope at this point that you want TWO hotel rooms..... I like the other trucks too.

My mistake, I meant to type "KS", not "KY" for the BBQ place's location.

We try to travel on the cheap. I do require two separate beds though.

Bob is like taking your grumpy old grand dad on a trip
He does not like eating in the truck( meals are a sit down event)
He does not like load music of any kind( levels load enough to drowned out his snoring / or the sound of his voice )lol
He is very sensitive about jokes that include him.
He is a light sleeper
He likes it hot as hell in the truck
He has a hard time making decision. (Chris"What truck would you like to go see" Bob" G I don't know")
He is the worse co pilot/ navigator ever!( he could get lost in a closet)
He is .....
I love hanging out with Bob
He is a true blue ford guy and one of the best enablers
I put on my headphones and started drafting big rigs to save on fuel because somebody did not get a truck for him self and split the fuel bill with me!
