None since it just goes back to the atmosphere whence it came. That is different than burning fossil fuels that have been buried for millions of years and adding to the CO2 content of the atmosphere.Quote:

If that's not what I saw, it was a freakishly similiar rig. I wanted to get up alongside for a better look but traffic gets a little nutty in that spot. They zoomed off onto 70, while I puttered along in the 44 West lane.Quote:

Rotated my tires.
Re-installed all the belly armor on the VX.

Kat, you're safe for now. When Dub says that you're on his "short list" THAT'S when you know you're in trouble.
Dub, if you and Jim can make it the plan is to meet up in Glenwood around noon and Grand Junction at the Liquor Barn at like 1:30. Hope to see you guys at either spot.
Love you bro, but you've got it turnd 180.Quote:

There's a reason that the long list is so long...
Sorry about that Dub......hope that doesn't put me on the long list.:eek:

Will see you all next year without a doubt.
MOAB or BUST
And hope I don't bust it when I get there:eek:

That was me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Were you driving a VX? I have had my eyes peeled, since there isn't really anything else to do. I am from the KC, MO area, but man, St Louis drivers are a-holes. Thats awesome that someone spotted me!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw a yota behind me today with blacked out headlights and a funky grill insert, thought it was a VX for a second... I am getting super paranooid/hyped.Quote:

I had to change that last tire while it was snowing in flip flops, shorts and a tshirt...booooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! See ya'll in a few days. Someone tell Wyoming that its almost summer...
Good to hear you’re almost here. I spent the day prepping for the trip. Sorry to hear you’re having trailer tire problems, but the VX is 2 tons it’s no lightweight. See you on Monday! :cool:
Blasting off in just under 5 hours...think I'll try to get a little sleep now!:eek:
Think I'll need a few Monsters for the drive tomorrow. Meeting up with Kat around 9-10 at the petrified forrest and then it's a mini Az convoy to the big MOAB!!!!!:bgwp:
dude....its wyoming....Quote:

GVW is 4500, I figure with extras and whatnot, somewhere a bit over 5k. So yes, definitely heavy, and the Expy is 7500lbs, so I figure with the trailer and gear, I am rolling between 13000 to 15000 lbs. Yikes, no wonder I was getting 8mpg until I got further north where they don't dilute gas with ethanol. Now I am getting around 11-12 mpg, means ethanol is actually making the environment worse...Quote:
