[edit] nope not a double post, this stupid box won't allow me to post 2 seperate quotes [/url]

Destination: Grove City Ohio.. a suburb of Columbus.. Monday morning..

If your in the Hollywood Florida area, give me a drop by. Ill bake you some cake and cream.

I misread that as Groove City. It's too bad.

i got you on my list when i arrive Connecticut bud, but ohio is a fare piece away.

we deliver a few hundred busses to the "Seymour" area, if you like you can look that up and lemme know how far it is from you..

Why don't they put these busses on some kind of giant bus super-transporter thing? Not that I want to put you out of a job, Orph, I just don't understand how driving busses all over the palce is the most economical way.

its a one way trip jeff, when the customer buys a bus and its competed we deliver it to them..

1) the cost of delivery is negligible, i am paid a small percentage of the cost.. i assume the bus is in the neighborhood of 50,000 dollars for manufacturing.. my paltry payment is tiny.

2) i can have it there usually next day, possibly 2..

3) the only alternative is by rail, rail would take up to a month i suppose.

4) the miles between here to there is a break in period, it helps assure that it will hold up.

5) some of these people need the bus by a deadline, and driving them is the only way to assure it arrives in time.

these are just the reasons i have been able to glean.. i assume there are other incentives, but as i am not privy to them.. shrugs

think of it this way... i assume products such as food and clothing are manufactured and delivered by truck where you live?? well i just happen to drive this product, without the need for a truck :smile:

And it's cheaper to travel by bus, so it wouldn't make fiscal sense to deliver them any other way.

I would rather go by bike than take the bus. :sad:

I was saying that more because Ohio sure could use one.

You didn't tell me when and I'm not even sure how to get to West Linn.
I've never driven that far south. Not to mention Wednesday is probably
going to be busy as hell. Got a LAN to host on the 30th.

Maybe something will happen, who knows?

yeah, you better be careful, the south hates yankee's. you might not survive it :heee:

listen to yourself, "drive....far" i will be the one driving FAR, not you.

look bud, i am just playing with you. no biggie. :smile:
what you,tracer and hugh need to do, is come up with a location, and we'll see if "I" can accommodate you. afterall, i will be the stranger to the town. :biggrin:

no, but if i ever do i will holler atcha.

you see, the thing is people don't seem to realize that i travel "through" most everyone's home on the way to and from my destinations..

in fact today i went right past nickleplates home, and 3 days ago, i drove through doc rocks.

if you people take a moment to bring up mapquest and see if you are on my route to or from, i can try to swing by on one of the directions.
true, its a bit hard if you live on the ocean, i cannot drive much past you, but i could still deviate the route a touch sometimes :biggrin:

:biggrin: That's Oregon for you. Grey skies and rain in the west and trashy desert in the east. If it had been a clear day we might have gotten Mt. Hood in the background, but I'm not at all sure it's visible from where we were.

Did you make it to Multnomah Falls Orph?

sadly no.

the drizzle rain that was coming down while we visited, turned into a torrent by the time i reached the area. it was just to cold to get soaked.
maybe next trip.

Ah well. Here's a picture anyway. Be warned, it's a large file.

Oh, ok, got ya. Yeah if I was old enough I would make the trip and say hi. But O well. Enjoy your trip. The weather out here is warming up fast, and its only January. So dress with warmer weather in mind.

I have a 2003 calender on the inside of my bedroom door that has been
stuck on May ever since that date arrived - its a picture of her from
that very same photo shoot :wink:
