Packed clothes and personal items this morning. Charged the big camera yesterday and inserted fresh 16G card with a spare in the bag. Charging the 20,000 mhA battery to make sure it's topped off. Now sitting at work until 2pm.... counting the minutes.
Misread my directions while talking with John. 70 miles east of Columbus now.
HOLY CRAP. Columbus is about 3.5 hours from my home. Also, take exit 133 (not exit 130) because of construction. You want the second half of the exit (Indiana 267) not the first half. Its an A/B type exit. You take A you end up in warehouse hell. I was hoping I'd have time to vacuum before you got there, but maybe not the way you're cruising.
Don't stress I'm going to lose 45mins to lunch.
Re:direction
Google knows exit 133
In other news... Bob, I'm coming to your place tonight to help with the ToDos.
Just hitting the road and GPS says 3:30 eta so likely 4:00 with a stop.
133 noted.

Cool. Pick up some beer. I have none. Wife's bringing home a Sam's Club pizza. Maybe I should have her grab 2? It'll be the three of us and Chris (cmoing down for AC recharge) and the wife. Yeah, I'll have her grab a second one. You can also leave a vehicle here if you want.
Well, I'm hunkered down on the south-east side of Springfield for lunch/gas.
312.4miles, 10.827gals.
It's important to combine food/gas... etc stops to minimize time lost. 
Re: mileage
I think I've lost 8% to drag... might have to get some of the OEM lip back on?
It can be difficult to choose beer that pleases everyone so I decided to pleasure myself.. er, I mean, that pleases me. Labatt Blue light.
To class it up a little, some local fare of Cleveland's Great Lakes Brewery, Burning River Ale. 
both new to me. I haven't had a beer in over 4 weeks because of the diet . The good news is I'm down to 234lbs and fit pants that I haven't worn in 6-8 months. The bad news is no beer, cheese or bacon for 40 days.
If the pizza has bacon on it... all goes to hell tonight!
It went to hell at 10:03am when I drank mello yello.
EDIT: after drinking 20oz of that, I felt like the squirrel in over the hedge after they gave him the energy drink.
I thought that was coffee and "Hoodwinked"
On my way home!
Bob's garage, I am IN you!
Let the wrenching begin!
I'm at the red light, exit 133
Have fun, be safe, give Seth a high five for me

Shouldn't that read " GRM dork Sleepyhead"
In reply to grover :
Apparently I've done a bunch of grow... er, I mean posting since last year.
Alright, wrenching report:
Oil/filter changed
Brakes bled
A/C charged
Back seat mounted
Radio Code entered
Parking brake adjusted
Spacer Torque checked
Middle of front air damn re-installed
Transit electro checked
Packing test complete
Full-page transit test complete... with a nice wake up scare to some local kids flat-towing pickup trucks through a perfect skid pad... I mean roundabout.
No brake cooling, and still a little fender rub...
also, I have a weight problem...
5#s saved for each back, and in he's more leg room. Plus 6#s from yanking the glove box. 
Now: bed
Wakey wakey!
It's like a Folgers commercial. From across the house I can smell the coffee gently wafting into the guest room!
(smacks lips)
Huh, what?
Also, there's probably a Farscape "Luxon love poetry" joke to be made about why I can't smell the coffee.
Registration opens in 18 minutes...........
