Geez, I guess sometimes being a business traveler pays off. Never have to worry about a hotel or the rates - provided there's something nearby in the Hilton chain.  1.25 Million HHonors points and counting. The points sure came in handy on our trip to pick up. Hampton Inns all the way from San Antonio to Canada - including the really nice and new Hampton Inn in Chilliwack, less than 1 Km away.

Yes Dave, the red belly band is attractive because it matches my new truck. I am considering changing it to Michigan blue though.

We used the new Hampton Inn in Chilliwack and paid a low rate that was an ETI rate. Anyone picking up should ask the hotel where booking if they have an Escape rate.

This is why I like my beer chilled, but not ice cold. No ice in my whiskey either. I want the full taste.
I know a few who like beer ice cold though.

Many years ago I was in Frankfurt, and during a conversation with a German customer, he asked "why do you Americans freeze your beer?"

Jagermaister is the only drink that goes in the freezer in Europe. And it doesn't get frozen

I started with Coors light and switched to Canadian ale, after 5 I had to stop and get something to eat. Lunch today was at Tim Horton's had their bar-b-que wrap and veg soup with fresh bread, plus coffee. No wonder the beer ain't working...the guys at the bar bragged it was 6.0 alcohol content.

Now I'm even more confused Jim. [emoji23] 6.0 ABV is a pretty strong beer.

After a party outside Munich at Oktoberfest with 200,000 of my closest friends I decided I prefer room temp beer. No fridge issues!

Room temperature? Nah. At Oktoberfest they serve it at about 8C - or 47F. Oh wait! Maybe that's the temperature of the room in October. [emoji23]

Me thinks the coffee is stronger than typical Mickey "D"s I have had for past week. Left on a Monday arrived on a Sunday. All junk food until now, and Tim Horton beats anything I have had all week, except for the indian taco in the Badlands.

Actually we left at 1:30 am Tuesday, drove to Des Moines Tuesday night, Badlands Wednesday nite, Sheridan, Wy, thursday, Missoula, Friday and Bellingham, Saturday, here at 10 am today, according to my hour meter, 50 hours driving over 96 hours total.
But I was surprised at my mpg numbers as well as my low rpm at 80 mph.
More like 600/day over 5 days..
