        But two times the hugs  - I bet A1 would gladly give up my hugging him to you. 

         

        Wait...does this mean the pacers get half a beer?

        Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

          I think it means you have to mule your runner's beer...

                  I will gladly mule A1's beer. I am also willing to take care of anyone else's beer. You can trust me. I'll put it somewhere safe.

                  Last year there were $2 drafts of Old Chub at a bar on the main street. That is some good stuff.

                    1)  Plan A - Drive up to Duluth, hook up with Scovil apparently he has a place I can crash

                    Plan B - If plan A falls through - Sleep on a mattress in the back of my truck in the DECCA parking lot

                     

                    2)  That is where the 2 plans converge - Run race, Drink beer with Scovil, Tent and anyone else that can stand me and my dirty songs I sing when I get drunk

                     

                    3)  Pass out on mattress in back of truck

                     

                    4)  Get up Sunday morning - Hung over and drive back to Wausau, WI to celebrate Father's day 

                     

                    I have not figured the logistics of Friday night - But hell that is over 5 weeks away.  I will probably leave Neenah noonish.  Google has it a 5 hours 43 minutes, so I think it will take @ 5 hours.

                      Fitgers postrace.  Dur.

                       

                      I am (maybe) lloking for a ride to Duluth Saturday morning early, from 30-40 minutes outside town, zip code 54849.  I can probably offer a place to crash in exchange, if'n you are interested.  Bed for a ride?

                          There's a bumper sticker that says,

                           

                          "Gas, ass, or grass. Nobody rides for free".
