Battles n Bombs

Well, the hydrogen modifications are installed and working, but not properly. We can't seem to locate a critical computer signal and the information seems unavailable since the vehicle is very new. The system seems to have doubled the MPG in the city, but halved it on the highway. if we don't get it right today we will override it and proceed without it.
The Gopher doesn't help! There WILL be a short video of me clenching a dynamite like smoke bomb in my teeth and dropping it in a gopher hole right where we have been working. * Visions of Caddy Shack * even after we tried to smoke him out TWICE, he came back and tunneled a second entrance into the work area, built a big mound over the first entrance and blocked that one off. Its tunnel system must be HUGE, we never saw any smoke coming out of the ground anywhere. We are out of smoke bombs and there have not been any reports of smoke 70 miles away at Carlsbad Caverns ... Where IS that dayumed gopher???
We get the Penski truck tomorrow the 9Th and should be rolling out very early the 11Th, so you won't be getting much in the way of posts for a week or so, unless we get lucky and have a camp grounds with good Wi-Fi.
Gas prices!!! geeze! $3000 in fuel to go 2700 miles with 2 rigs? Add the truck rental and a bit of maintenance we could wind up over $2 a mile, even with us sleeping in the seats for a week. That's more than a years worth of house payments for me to drive half way across the US, I can't wait to get my hands on a full hydrogen conversion kit.
Will be home soon!
