My trip to Indy.
Some know that, Susanne and I drove to Indy to close on the house Susanne owned. We met with Mike & Linda Kennedy (MLKwoodworking) and, Ernie Borraga for lunch one day. THE most enjoyable part of the trip. Then, before we could get out of town, we had to wait out three winter storms. The second week, I caught the flu. Misery from all directions.

Now, how many rest areas are there between Indianapolis? ON I-65, I-24 and, I-75? I think we maybe passed 3. My point here is, I want to get home where, it's warm and, I don't have to deal with inexperienced drivers anymore. Follow me so far? Nobody should have to pee that often.:confused: So, finally, somewhere in Florida, my frustration got the best of my judgement and, my thoughts came out. As I saw the sign that said "Weigh Station" "Open" I asked if she wanted to stop there. :biggrin: Well, I've already commited so, I pushed it a little farther.:wink: "If you use the bathroom first, you may not be over weight when you cross the scale":biggrin: I got the international sign!

I am a very lucky man! :wink: Susanne is the greatest.:biggrin:

Chuck do you know how much faster you could have gotten home if only you had used a catheter? :eek:

Besides when we make the trip we use truck stops. That way I get a fresh cup of java and will need to stop again when the thermos gets empty. :smile:
 
Yea. I used that one on my bride one time too she still mad.
the one when we went by a service station that had a sign out front " we fix flats" and I made the comment about we could stop and get her an augmentatiion. I don't think she will ever forget :)
 
Chuck,
It never fails, if we are going somewhere, about 10 minutes on the road somebody calls out "I've gotta go..." The family motto is improvise, adapt and overcome (and don't pee your pants)

Cris, I cannot imagine more than one.:biggrin:
 
When I was a kid, (back in the dark ages) when we traveled, we only stopped when Dad had to pee.:mad:.. and I'm pretty certain he had a 4 gallon bladder.:biggrin:... I've seen him down most of a 6 pack before he ever had to pee... I'm lucky if I can finish one can/bottle before I need to.:eek::biggrin:

That one's even funnier:biggrin: And, that brings up another issue. She can put away two five bottle buckets at a restaurant. What does traveling have to do with it?:confused:

Didja drive the Elki??

We drove her Honda. Gets much better mileage. The Elki is soon to have another new look:biggrin:
 
The only problem I've ever had traveling with my wife is that ANY long trip, we'd get 50 miles down the road and she'd start having a panic attack that she left the iron on. We either would go back, or she was paranoid the entire trip.

After a few years of this, we went on a trip, and sure enough, 50 miles out, "Honey, did I leave the iron on?" I pulled over to the side of the interstate, go out, went to the trunk, came back and handed her the iron.

Since then, the iron has been our traveling companion.
 
Man Chuck that's crazy. There's a rest stop outside of Scottsburg and a rest stop at the Ky/Tenn line. That means there was only 1 rest stop the rest of the way:eek:.
 
Man, you're lucky! If I spouted off something like that, I'd still be at the weigh station..... Looking for lost teeth.

If you haven't learned the correct responses to things like "do these pants make my butt look big", you are too old to be married!!!
 
Driving through the yexas panhandle for my first time in many years, a sign said picnic area ahead and we both had to go so I stoped. could find a reat room ,so I asked the grounds person. He told me "this is just a picnic area, we Don't have restroom

Frank, here in Texas, that would have not stopped us.

Ernie, you'd better make the trip again and, re-count. Susanne didn't miss a single one.:rolleyes:

Like I said Rich, I'm a lucky man. Susanne laughed the longest and, hardest at the whole thing. It could have gone a different direction though :redface:

Gee whiz, we had plenty of sleep in Chatanooga. :biggrin:
 
I know there's a rest area just south of Scottsburg In. That's where I stop on my way home from Indy. It's exit 27 or something like that. Then there's a rest area just south of Bowling Green Ky. I've stopped there many times on my way to Nashville. So unless there was only 1 more from Tn to Fl, you may have miscounted:biggrin:. The FLU has been known to cause dillusions, so maybe that's what happenned!!

Yes, we stopped at all of those and, all of the ones in Georgia and Florida except maybe 1 I'm saying, we made a whole lot of stops at rest areas. I didn't count ANY of them but, I remember stopping TOO much. Now my head hurts :frown:
