Good morning Steve, Dave, Troy.

"Holiday" weekend Steve? Are you in government? It's Columbus Day on Monday. Or are you Canadian? It's Thanksgiving there...

Good morning Jay!!

Yeah I am not sure what holiday he is talking about. Must be Columbus day cause the only other thing on the calander is that tomorrow is Fire Prevention Day! haha

So I hear your gonna convoy with Tom! At least your tranny will get a work out trying to keep up!!

Since your gonna convoy you might as well have a good song to get ya in the mood!

Yep I am a team player, it will be actually nice to see if the slower speed gets me more MPG. The last tank from GF I did 190+ miles at 80-85 mph in ND and in Mn I did 75-80, when I filled up last night I hand calculated 16.98 mpg. Not bad for Triple T Airlines, LOL.

Well I just had to run by the campground on a service call and so far it is completely empty so we should be able to make as much noise as we want (Cory)! LOL

Well we are out to the campground. We are the only ones here so far. I think we will have the whole place to ourselves.

You guys will need to fill me in. Made it home in 2hrs 5 min, and the comp on the Impala said 40.8 mpg, it may be close to that. 60 mph and flat flat flat roads.
