Due to lack of funding, unless I win the lottery, I will not be able to long haul. I will make Madison for certain and am working to come up with the cash for Rochester, but that will be it for me. Damn I need to find a job so I can do this right next year. See ya all on the road. Please make sure to offer up pics daily so I can see what I am missing. Now to get the Elco road ready. Still got a couple oil leaks to fix.

I am beginning to wonder if we are going to make it as well.
The truck gets the same bad mileage that the wagon does (~9.5mpg) and isn't as much fun to drive (no tunes, no A/C, old bench seat, less power). I am currently driving it ~100 miles a day so the thought of taking a vacation in it where I drive ~4,000 miles in 12 days doesn't excite me that much. I am sure it needs some work but it is the only running vehicle I own right now so it is hard to take it off the road to work on it.
I am beginning to wonder if it is really worth 8 vacation days, $1,600 in gas, $1,000 in hotels and who knows how much in food and drink.
Just beginning to get bummed out :'( :'( but we shouldn't highjack Jim's' thread.

Sorry you can't make the entire trip. I had to cancel the entire PT because I lost my job as well. I have worked for 35 years straight without being laid off, and now at almost 50 years old, I am searching for a job. IT REALLY SUCKS! >

Re: It's official-no long haul for me.
I'm not long hauling either. Work's dropped off a bit for me, the car is down and I gotta watch the pennies for a while.
However, I'll be in Madison (barring some unforeseen calamity) with MIKEE and a few others to see the rest of you roll into town. Got my 'business cards' all designed and test printed and I'll be passing 'em out at the festivities.
