Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Getting Ready For Iowa Gas **Revised Again**

Last year under a Doc's orders I couldn't go due to a blood clot.

Well guys I'm Rarin to Go Again this year. Iowa Gas, RUST COLLECTORs PARADISE !
to find some coololdstuff cause I likitall.

Talked to Gas Pump Rob about sharing a ride, says he won't have enough room on his trailer for me to buy anything. I thought about taking the St.Rod/DuceCpe but would be cramped & very limited on space. Was thinking about the 1970 Mach, but Tanker ain't big enough. Hemibird has a tank full of oldgas & lastgas I put in chevelle smelled like it came out of sanford's Old Racer.

Was hoping work would have been steady enough to get a Cherry new truck. My besgar thought was nochevys, but after looking at imports that use olddutchgas, I've changed my mind. U.S.A. made fueluser, gaspower, Houston_Gasoline TRUCKS for me !

OH WELL. I'm oldnfuelish so I'll be driving the roadrelics old Dodge, it runs on puregas & that's a little cheaper than souperhigh grade. This will be it's 10th year & the T-way hitch will come in handy if I need a trailer.

So I better get it checked out by MetroPetro, then over to frankpl's shop, but he is way behind & recommends Esse's Garage for repair [he's just starting out & CAN use the work]. Jody takes the keys & hands them to Mr.Wadhams who drives it into 1st stall in shop.

Inspector66, starts by opening the hood, checks Baseltbelt, hoses, drains oldoil & adds 5quarts of blackteetexacogold, okoil is full, checks the powerlube stuff & adds a bit of Garage-A-GoGo brake fluid.
Then a gearhead bruzer75 of a guy crawls underthun to check there, he grabbers a s932 wrench & a hammer. BOO BOOM ! Says the thermactor is fixed. I ask what's it for ? "don't worry, it won't be a problem now!". Almost forgot, they added 2 quartcans of VEEDOL_AL1 anti-freeze. A tallguy walks in and intro's himself as Bob Richards, Manager of the shop & says I should have a good oldgoaly toychaser of a trip.

I was going to Worsham the truck, but seems that every year I do, there's a Thunder & lightning HolyTara gully washer storm before I get to IG.

Wife asked what I would like for dinner before I pull out. Let's make it easy, store bought BBQchicken & Radigan salad, sounds good to me. Then maybe have a little bowl of bonjimmi for desert & top that off with a bit of hotcidr, before getting a good nights rest.

Threw the mapper book in, might need it to find a few gasoildudes that live out in the sticks. Can't forget the Folgers, Iowa is Maxwell country.

Hope Jack Sim brings the Deep fat fryer, heard it was the ONLY way to cook texaspelican stuffed with WEASEL! Might have to have a few steiners of Beer & coldpizza to kill the taste though ! After the Beer is gone, I hope I can Stover to the hotel to sleep it off !

Had made plans to split a room with philmccauley, but heard he was caught paying for Regular & pumpingethyl & now is pasngas as a garagejunkie & can't go to Iowa Gas. Hope oslosteve has room for a roll-away amongst his tjhvintage boxes of coke_and_stuff [Southern Comfort] he always stores in his room. Just hope he doesn't party A L L night.

Was thinking of having minuteman hash browns & eggs for Thursday morning breakfast with KW Frith in his Motor Home. BUT, Jarvis IS in charge of eggs. 'nuff said, hope Tomstoybox doesn't bring any rawhide1 donuts, they'll give ya Badgas !

Hope to do some Barn Raidering along the way, just hope SouthFloridaGas & hillsideshortleg hasn't been in the area 1st.

LOL
