We are going to take a quick poll of the group and see how people feel about doing dinner at 7pm. I'll post an update in a bit.

Thanks to me we got an early start this morning, arriving in Syracuse at 1:30 with several stops.

Thanks Lawson for all the organizing! It was a great time! :cool:

Made it home no problem (except for home being in Ohio, of course), didn't eat any road gators this time.

Now I can let the food coma from The Bomber take hold...

Tom made it home safe and sound. And promptly fell asleep!
It sounds like a wonderful time, sorry I had to miss it this year. Our DOG sitter was out of town. :p

Got home a little while ago: Detroit to Duxbury, 12.5 hours with stops in Syracuse, Westborough, and a few rest and Starbucks stops. Not too shabby. Should have taken off the snows, weather was perfect. 1,718.2 miles total, IBW did 46 MPG for both fills, running 80 most of the time. Hit 344K a during the ride home.

We all had a great time. Show was a lot of fun, despite the missing marques. And it's good to see more diesels!

I said... "take the snows off..." but who listens to me except Tomo?

But seriously, if automobile cloning ever becomes a thing, IBW will either need to be very protected, or a new department @ idparts.com. I'll find the change-color-to-red gene and live very happily ever after.
