-Brought 20 Gallons of winterizing Fluids, 4 Gallons of Engine Oil for the boat, 48 Spark Plugs, 5 Gallons of Windshield washer fluids, 140 gallons of Diesel Fuel, About 40 beers in the cooler (this reminds me I have to get a bucket of Kettle One Vodka..),bunch of DVD’s Some tunes but we rely on XM mostly.
-Brought three Cell Phones, One Lap top, Two GPS (truck & Boat), two digital cameras, enough clothes for three years and all the crap I am forgetting…
I am sure Jeremy brought some Boxing Gloves … he’s a single happy go lucky kind of guy but that’s none of my business…..
Also we took the Donkey D!cks off for the trip... . We're straight piping it with the 5" headers out the transom... Trying to make friends as usual...Can't wait to run...

From the trips I have done before sometimes we manage to go straight through some times we stop for a catnap... But the idea is to get there!.
We're booked at Bahia Cabana Wednesday& Thursday waiting for the rest of the crew flying in.
Merging on 81 in Bringhamton NY
Just passed into PA on 81.....
