Marc & Buffy thanks for the hospitality
Well, we made it back from our trip to Alabama. :ssr Our trip included visits to both moderators. First we troubled Marc NY at work; he gave us a Readers Digest version of a tour of the worlds largest engine plant. Oh my god where do all these engines go, no wonder the planet has a pollution problem.
With thanks to Marc it was a great start to a great trip.
Due to our visit in Niagara with Marc our choice to go west to Erie then south was a good one . The hills on I-79 past Pittsburg and on into West Virginia were no less than sectacular. Roof tucked away 70 mph, bliss :thumbs
The terrain in this part of the USA :flag is only surpassed by the friendly people.This is the first time that I have been called "sweet pea"; West Viginia will be fondly remembered for that.
On our second day we had wonderfull weather and made good time getting to Buffy's place; low and behold Buffy is a man. You know when you have a mental picture of someone then you meet them your always shocked, well let me tell you one thing he sure isn't pretty. Pat his wife on the other hand is a doll. I guess it all worked out. ( sorry Buffster ) :jester
As the pictures show the setting for the Chastain's ( Buffy & Pat) home is pristine. I build homes for the rich and wish to be famous in my area and this ranks very well in my book of semi suburban areas. Nothin' could be finer.
As for the Chastain's themselves, well how many people would invite 2 axe murderers into there home for some good old Georgian hospitality. :reddevil
Again I would like to remind other site members that this is the reason this site exists. If you not a supporting member "get it done" ( I picked this one up in Alabama)
Some interesting stats for the trip:
1. 19.5 MPG
2. 3,489 miles driven
3. 2 SSR's seen I saw the copper SSR in Detroit, he was southbound on I-75
The other was 50 miles from home I blew by him at 110 mph. He didn't want to play
4. USA is full of friendly people :flag
5. SSR is a great long distance ride. ( lack of cockpit space very apparent on long haul )
6. Barber Motor Sports Park in Alabama rocks. A must see if your in the state
7. 2 major stone chips
Again what a great trip, friends made, race great, wonderful people, good bonding time with my baby, the SSR and Jamie.
Thanks again, and if your in Ontario my door is open, leave you axe at home.
