It's killing me!

Last Thursday I had some relatively minor surgery. (Thank you Operation Iraqi Freedom) I developed a cyst over my tail bone from riding in the trucks that had to be removed, but because of the area some flesh had to be grafted etc. Anyways I am forbidden from sitting which means I can't drive yet. It has been 5 days since I've driven my truck and its killing me! I see it sitting impotently in the parking lot, begging for someone to let it run free. It's still going to be a couple days before I can drive so could you guys just log a couple extra miles for me?

Your service is greatly appreciated.
I'll be doing 1,500 this weekend. Friday thru Monday. From Lansing MI to St. Cloud, MN and back.
I'm certain I'll be thinking of you/your truck after the first 9 hours...

Hey thanks gents I appreciate it! I'm looking to be back in the saddle again in a couple days. I knew y'all would have no problem logging some miles for a brother. Jason how far are you from DE anyway? I wouldn't mind getting together sometime. Where exactly is Carney? I'm a stones throw from Cecil county.

Sorry I missed this earlier Chris. Carney is just outside of Baltimore city on the north east side just outside the Beltway. I am 35-40 minutes from Cecil county.

See where hwy 43 touches the beltway right before Harford rd. My house backs up to that part of 43.
