I need to do a 2000 mile drive. I want do it within 48 hours.
Do those pills they sell at gas stations work?
-
I don't know, but I know that the key for me to staying awake is sugar. And I mean sucrose. Buy a case of Mountain Dew Throwback, heh.

Truck stops have what you need.
-
You can get it done in two long days, with a decent sleep break in between. I've been driving trucks since '91 and haven't really felt the need to take pills. I did try one of those 5-hour energy drinks the other morning, at about 2 am, and I think the nasty taste kept me awake more than anything.
If you get sleepy, find a safe place to pull over, lay your head on your arm and take a 30 minute power nap. Long enough to rest but not really long enough for your body to shut down for the "night".
That works better than anything else for me.
Also, I download podcasts from here and a few other sites, including some aviation and bicycling stuff. It does a better job of keeping me alert and interested than music does. If you need to stop for a few minutes, by all means stop at a truck stop. Just make sure it ain't a dirty, seedy place, and stay on the car side (I'm assuming you aren't in a truck... if you are, you'd probably know where to go anyway). Find a decently lit place for your nap.

2000 miles in 48 hours isn't bad. Get out for meals every few hours, and sleep a regular night in a Red Roof.
I just plotted Maine to Dallas TX on goog maps, comes in at 2100 miles and 35 hours drive time. They obviously use the speed limit in their calculations.
The only problem with the trucker pills is you would normally take them towards the end of the day, when you're feeling wasted from the drive. Then you can't turn off the head when it comes time to sleep, because they last a while. Taking them at the beginning of the day is pointless, because you're already up and fine, awake and dandy. I would have some in my goody bag, but probably wouldn't use them.
-
Don't forget to get out & walk around a bit.

Ephedrine is great... if you can still find any

2030 miles
I did the trip in 33 hours and 15 mins.
No sleep, no pills. Just Mr dew, throwback when the store had it.
I left TX at 5:30 pm EST after work on Friday, and got to my destination in ME at 2:45 am Sunday morning. I got 5 hours of sleep last night.
No major issues. I got stuck in some traffic on 84 in CT, and lost about an hour there. I had to deal with a leaking tire as soon as I got to ME, but I still beat the 34 hours Google maps said the trip would take.

Did I mention that I was high on counterfeit k2 the entire time?
12 grams, 17 joints pre-rolled.

How does your brain feel?

17?
Chain-smoking is bad. No matter what plant.
Vaporize, man, vaporize
-
I think I need to do this again, but in reverse. I don't think I am going to make it a race this time, but I would like to keep it under 48 hours.
Maybe I will pick a different route. Make a few planned stops.

Rockstar Zero Carb is now my driving drug of choice.

Good job.

Did you know that radio guy Michael Savage's son is the CEO/creator of Rockstar energy drink?
Just thought that was an interesting tidbit.
-
I'm trying to figure out how much I need to pack for a trip of indefinite length.
food/water
blanket/pillow
a few changes of clothes
toothbrush/toothpaste/soap/towel
Do I need a gun?

Don't be an idiot. Take your gun, keep it hidden in the trunk.
Also take a first aid kit, a rain poncho, and a flashlight.
-
Don't be an idiot.
I am what I am.
How much ammo?
add:
work badge
passport
wad o' cash
duct tape
shovel
55 gallon black trash bags
second set plates,from a different state, registered to same make/model/year/color car
-
How much ammo?
Depends on how much space you got. Real question is what kind of gun and what kind of bullet. I get the impression we're talking hollow-points, here.

dont forget some Vicks vapor rub to put under your nose for the stink.

Space isn't an issue.
For a pistol, probably a semi-auto in 9mm, with hydra-shock ammo. I wish I had a .357 revolver.
I am wondering if I should bring a carbine.
Shit, man, who you gonna whack?
Contingency planning.
I am also wondering if I should bring anything to entertain myself....like arduino (http://www.arduino.cc/) stuff.
I don't think I will be cooking much...but I should bring some cookware.
add:
wires/chargers/cableplugs

Don't forget the rest of your team.

All of this sounds like a terrible idea to me. Getting high on counterfeit drugs and racing across country with a bunch of guns and no sleep just sounds horrible to me.

If you can't get crank, get an energy shot called "tweakers" - they're only 99 cents here in AR and they work!

iPod (endless fun downloading podcasts)
Copy of Finnegans Wake (http://www.trentu.ca/faculty/jjoyce/fw-3.htm) (the book that never gets stale)
arduino (http://www.arduino.cc/) stuff.
never saw that before. Pretty sweet. Endless possibilities...
Oh yeah, don't forget

and some twine.

I'm thinking supermoto dude. I'm thinking about it real hard. For commuting and pleasure with a fully-faired SV650 for her and hard bags for interstate 2 upping.

I never said it was a good idea. I don't have a plan on using any K2 this time, and I am still not decided on guns. I also said I planned on taking naps if I get tired. The things I do for money. I'm not doing it for fun. You know what sounds worse to me? Driving for three days instead of two.
You know what else isn't a good idea?
Riding a motorcycle.
-
ain't they heard about them big metal birds
up down there in maine??
them's that swallers people whole for a while, until they gits someplace else, then vomits 'em back up, pretty as you please?
-
I've flown more than I have driven.
But the car give me flexibility. I can take whatever fits in the car, and I can leave TX without any planning.
I don't know how long I need to be in TX. It could be anywhere from 2-8 weeks. If I knew it was only going to be 2 weeks, I would fly down.
I still need to pack, but at least I don't have to worry about missing a plane.

My point was that 10 years ago it would have sounded like fun. I didn't think you were doing it for fun.
blah blah blah, everywhere I go people tell me about how someone died on a motorcycle. Imma get all my gear on and how out skin cancer literature at the posh neighborhood tanning salon while chain smoking, that shit'll kill you y'know.
-
Don't get me wrong, I'd like to own a couple of motorcycles, and I would have bought one if I stayed in TX. I would really like something I can ride off road. Lots of trails and shit around here.
-

I don't need to tell you to be sure and duct-tape your show treads before you bury the body -- you're a pro. You know these things.

Word.
I lost more then 1 friend to 2-wheel accidents :(

Another big downside of planes: security.
I don't give a fuck about the pornoscanner. Or the xrays. Or the pat-downs.
It just means you can't take any weed, and that sucks ass.
-
Got any good recipes that uses a lot of butter?
I have three cups of canna-margarine to use.
Sugar cookies....what else?
-
Cookies is the easiest & very portable. Careful, I hear dogs can still smell the weed in he cannabutter.

A motorized toy for no purpose other than recreation doesn't make sense for me. Jetskis are a lot safer and is what I'd do before buying a motorcycle that doesn't get me to work but you don't have much of a lake season up there.

Luckily pigs can't. But the stuff smells, and tastes bad.
'They' gave me a ticket and complaint in Alabama this morning for unlawfully operating a motor vehicle. 81 in 70 speed limit zone. Cookies and brownish were on the passenger seat, and my high was starting to kick in.
-
'They' gave me a ticket and complaint in Alabama this morning
did you tell 'them' you were with 'us'?
-
No.
The cop was parked on the median, and flashed his blue lights. I didn't hit the brakes. I made him pull out and catch up to me before I even started to slow down and pull over.
I rolled down the window all the way. None of that cracking the window shit. For some reason I wasn't nervous at all.
He asked why I didn't pull over when he flashed his blue lights. I said I wasn't sure if it was for me. He said there wasn't anyone else on the road. I didn't say anything.
He asked for my DL and car registration.
I am pretty sure I thanked him for the ticket.
I'm not sure what the fine is yet, but in order to pay it, I would have to plead guilty, and I don't know if I can do that.
There may be a court appearance next month.....
-
None of that cracking the window shit.
Yeah, I figure a cop sees someone crack the window, they *know* the guy's been smoking pot, or has some other smelly offense, like a decomposing body in the back. Cracking the window is a game for when you *know* you're 100% clean.
Plus if I understand correctly you had been eating, not smoking, so no reason not to roll it down all the way.
Anyway, sounds like you were cool & collected, the only smart way to handle these things, get away from the stop with your freedom intact. The ticket can be dealt with later.
There may be a court appearance next month.....
Fun. Want some freak-staters to show up, audiorecord, not remove their hats, and drink beer during the proceedings? :lol:

I would want it for transportation to remote locations. Anyway, I don't see it happening any time soon.
As far as boats, the first thing I want is a canoe. I left my last one in Grafton, and need to replace it. I don't see myself owning any kind of motor boat unless I have property on a lake.
-

Correct.
I did the trip in almost exactly 48 hours, but I was fucking around a little, like jogging 2 miles on the New Jersey shore during sunrise after the first night of driving. I also visited a few people. And naps.
I also quit caffeine during the drive. I had one mt. dew the first night. After that, I couldn't drink more than a few sips of it, and haven't had any caffeine since.
-
Good man. Caffeine is an addictive drug; one I still crave after over a year without a fix.
-
The fine came in the mail today.....$229. That is more than $20 per mph over the speed limit.
I was looking at the Alabama laws, and you can get 10 days in jail for speeding. One thing I read said first time offenses are not supposed to be more than a $100 fine.
The rest of the time I was in Alabama, 80 mph was the speed for the normal flow of traffic.

Fuck it. Pay the extortion, move along.

They might just sell the "debt" to a collections agency though and that will hurt your credit rating.

Been down here much? I've seen plenty of bass-ackward folks in places like New Joisey (even have TV shows about how lame they are), NY, MI... hell... all over the damned place. Alabama doesn't exactly have the market cornered on backbirths.

Deliverance was filmed in New England.

Bar none, the state with the most dentally and mentally challenged people per-capita is by far kentucky. I wont even fuckin' capitalize it.
They lack both the charm of the south, as well as the sharp-wittedness of the north. They got fucked on both ends. Filthy backward ass hicks.
FACT
google it
if you're from kentucky, im sorry for your misfortune and I mean nothing personal. The fact that you are here reading this, most likely means youre not one of the ones im talking about anyway. Its the multitude of brother and sister fuckers surrounding you im speaking of.

For a VERY short time, I drove with a fellow from NJ who was now living in NY with his girlfriend. The Jersey episode of South Park wasn't even a caricature of these two... in fact, I'd say it was a pretty mild treatment.
These two were either screaming about killing each other or dumping "I love you" at each other... and they'd switch instantly between the two modes.
They were also, (trying to be at least a little gentle here) incredibly stupid. That or they were incredibly good actors looking for a reality show.

Yeah, but you wont even see them coming, most likely.
