I will be leaving in the morning for the Muster this weekend. Ihaven't really had my new truck on a road trip but I think it will do okay. I am looking forward to meeting everyone that I have commmunicated on the internet at CASCITY. I had my last day at the SO today. This trip is my first one as a retiree. I haven't been to Nebraska in 15 years and look forward to returning. It's a little over 700 miles up there from Texas.
TL, you drive carefully, ya hear? This'll be a good way to break-in your new truck. ('Tho truth be known, the manufacturers don't specify quite the break-in period that they USED to, but it is my most humble opinion that the old style "break-in" techniques will work very well with today's vehicles! (I say that only as an operator - who has only owned ONE new vehicle in his life - NOT as an automotive pro!)
And congratulations on your retirement! If you feel like REALLY breaking in your new truck, why don't you drive the 1,000 or so miles ...each way ... and visit us here in central Indiana the NEXT weekend for the 2009 NCOWS Eastern Regional! You can crash at my house - since it's only about 45 minutes to the range from my hacienda, I can actually afford the gas to go! You won't even have to drive to the range!
Gripmaker,
Not much! In fact, in many ways I doubt it's changed all that much from when Washington was in command at Valley Forge.
This work stuff has just got to stop interfering with my fun!

You sure hit that nail on the head, Gen. Scout, Sir! That's what I feel about the gas prices and all the other
crap er, things going on today!. They're doing major damage to my fun allotment!
Texas Lawdog, I expect (or request
) that you and the others all have my share and Gen. Scout's share of fun ... and Delmonico's cooking!
