Longjohn ★ Posted November 22, 2017 Share #4 Posted November 22, 2017 I have a friend who travels a lot. To kill time in the airports she likes to imagine what the other travelers are doing. Here is one of her stories from a couple weeks ago. I thought of Parr8 when I read this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted November 22, 2017 Share #5 Posted November 22, 2017 Yesterday took me 2 hours to travel my 29 miles. Not looking forward to getting home today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted November 22, 2017 Share #7 Posted November 22, 2017 Packing today, travel tomorrow. Shouldn't be much traffic on Turkey Day but who knows. The 26' uhaul is a new F600 with a 10 cylinders it it's a gasser and will be slow going up the mountains of WV and MD. Probably take 12 hours to get home. Unpack beds when we get there and the rest to storage on Friday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I get in the gas on my 150 my wife will look at me and roll her eyes. My kids will say "Daddy needed to feed the turbos. They are HUNGRY!" Or they will say "Let 'em eat dad!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted November 22, 2017 Share #9 Posted November 22, 2017 I am wondering what my commute will be like today. It was great yesterday but I think my evening commute will be rough. Several years ago I had to be in Bakersfield on the Wed before Thanksgiving. I left at 11 AM and got home at 9 PM... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I thought, until I spent 3 hours and 15 minutes of my life on Thanksgiving driving 58 miles. That was in CA, though, from Carlsbad to Irvine. I was pissed. You should be good, though, you are driving through farmland. Enjoy Ohio while you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd put the most accurate number in the BILLIONS! Remember, this forum has Brits and Canucks and assorted other nutty nationalities checking in.

maddmaxx ★ Posted November 22, 2017 Share #13 Posted November 22, 2017 Fewer will be travelling home. Better to stay there and off the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of going to Lake Placid from Friday-Monday and I'm seeing a chance of "snow showers' but estimated at less than an inch or two of snow. Is bad weather predicted elsewhere in the state?

They backed off on the Lake Effect snow predictions for Sunday. Lake snow shouldn’t get to Lake Placid anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they will say "Let 'em eat dad!" Wo7 drove the F150 and blocked cars so I could pass slower trucks. We were a team today. The Uhaul did better than expected. Cruise control ran that engine at 4k rpms and never dropped below 65 up the steepest hills. The 50 gallon tank needed filling twice. Total was 90 gallons, $178 over 520 miles. 6 mpg and the truck was loaded. Cost of doing business $178, getting out of Ohio, priceless. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
