Home safe and sound...

[pbureau@attbi.com (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Yeah I can vouch for the "gas pig" I have a jeep 2wd and I haul 2 Horse
trailer, and I get 17-18MPG only jeep, but trailer (with or without 1 or 2
horses in it) I get 15MPG hauling. kinda nice though...no real speed deamon
pulling... but torque torque torque...steady she goes captain!

=>Well it's been one crazy week for me.  After being in and out of the
=>hospital for several days with my first kidney stone, and experiencing
=>what many people have described as worse pain than childbirth, I
=>finally had an operation to remove it...  I can't believe something so
=>small could be so damn painful...
=>
=>With only two days recovery, I took a bit of a chance driving down to
=>Virginia to pick up an 80 S from Kervin - but it all worked out ok.  I
=>didn't end up leaving until 5pm Saturday, and got back 2am last
=>night...  Total driving time (solo): 24.5 hours out of 33 since I left
=>Saturday!
=>
=>The Charlottesville, Virginia area is one of the most beautiful areas
=>I've been to.  I wish I had more time to do some sightseeing, but I
=>still had a great trip!
=>
=>The Jeep Grand Cherokee I borrowed pulled incredibly well - even
=>heading through Maryland on the 68E.  Steep enough grades that they
=>have runoff areas for runaway trucks...  At just under 15mpg average
=>my fuel costs were a bit more than I expected though...  What a bloated
=>pig!  The thing that floored me is that it made very little difference
=>on mileage, towing or not.  I guess moving that big "box" through the
=>air is more work than pulling it's own weight plus a load...
=>
=>Anyways, thanks again Kervin, it was great to finally meet you!  You'll
=>have to come up to Cincy next year and see what I've done to "Ole
=>Paul"...  Plans are already in the works to get the body done over the
=>winter!
