Oh, dear . . . no, no, no, no, no . . .

Whole Paycheck.

You are at the beginning of a trip that, during this season, will certainly be a road lined with incredible fresh fruits and vegetables, provided you get off of the interstates.

Buy yourself a cheap cooler, a carving knife and a cutting board, and your picnic potential will be endless.

I like me my chicken fried steak, but the farm stands are always the first choice on a road trip, and you'll feel better for it.  :cheers:

Grapefruit... hunting knife... road trip... proximity to Vegas... Red shark...

I think you've found the main nerve. Picking up hitchhikers?

Me and Mrs. Midget were grateful for the ride to the airport.  :cheers:

I remember my first trip through Idaho - a bunch of years ago.  I was on the Gold Wing (solo - hadn't yet met Nancy) and when I got to Idaho, approaching from Washington, I stopped at a tourist information center and saw the sign proclaiming "Idaho 'taters for Out Of Staters".  Ask for a bag of 'em and you'd get a 5 (or was it 10?) pound bag of potatoes.  I didn't have room on the bike -- but in your car, Dr. G, you probably do have some spare space.  Give it a though when you cross an Idaho border.

Er,no. Especially not the scraggly guy we saw out in the backblocks of Nevada with nothing but a huge soft toy under his arm, yeah, I'm serious

I'll second what Stainless has said.  I get to "work" as the pit steward there.  That means I don't have much chance to see the vehicles under full steam (although I can ask for permission to go to the tower and be replaced in the pits at any ol' time), but I do get to see the turnaround procedures if and when the vehicle has qualified for a return run.  That stuff is cool - and incredibly high pressure.  It alone is worth most of the hassle of watching the entire event.  Come on out, Dr. G, if you're in this country. :cheers:

Slim, I'd love to but I can't. 

Graham, checked another harbour freight......nope.

Last night we saw bull-riding at a rodeo in Caldwell. I think that's what Brett should do.
