Heather B (Austin, TX) 24-May-20 02:43 PM

I have some sweet talking to do to my husb today.

Drew Terril (OKC, OK) 24-May-20 03:02 PM

This is where it wouldn't be a bad day to wake up at my grandma's ranch near Fredericksburg LOL (edited)

Shane Adams (Fort Worth, TX) 24-May-20 03:03 PM

Might take more than talking

(laughing)

Drew Terril (OKC, OK) 24-May-20 03:03 PM

Just head west on 290 to catch 10 and run west from there

B. Dean Berry (Pittsburgh PA) ✱ 24-May-20 04:57 PM

Shane needa go get some gorilla hail.

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 24-May-20 05:12 PM

@Heather B (Austin, TX) Jack says I’m good to go for tomorrow if anything pans out. Let’s check it in the AM and see if anything makes sense and we can be on it.

Heather B (Austin, TX) 24-May-20 09:23 PM

@Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) Paul got mad at me checking the radar during dinner tonight, but I'm good for tomorrow as well. I'll massage his back or something later and he'll get over it.

Payton (Lawrence, KS) 24-May-20 09:24 PM

You see that 2% Tor in KS,MO,AR,OK? That's where the real action is gonna be tomorrow (edited)

Cameron (Fortson, GA) 24-May-20 09:26 PM

Facts

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 24-May-20 09:32 PM

So far thoughhhhh

Mike Thornton (Norman, OK) 24-May-20 09:51 PM

I don't care what Chase we're talking about, I would rather take a chase in Southwestern Texas over chasing in the jungle. I have done it many times and chasing in the jungle sucks and is stupid. Lol.

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 24-May-20 09:58 PM

Are you just throwing me off the scent of an amazing chase to keep all the tornadoes for yourself, @Mike Thornton (Norman, OK) ?

Mike Thornton (Norman, OK) 24-May-20 09:58 PM

@Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) you're damn right, how'd you know?!?

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 24-May-20 10:00 PM

I’m sticking to Texas tomorrow regardless, I’m still recovering from Friday’s chase. I have no idea how people do this day after day after day.

Mike Thornton (Norman, OK) 24-May-20 10:26 PM

Lots of energy drinks, and powerades

B. Dean Berry (Pittsburgh PA) ✱ 24-May-20 10:33 PM

Monster ultra zero!

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 24-May-20 10:42 PM

My side gig is home espresso, so I’m always seeking a good latte on the road. Turns out that’s not the specialty of Ft. Stockton

Shane Adams (Fort Worth, TX) 25-May-20 10:36 AM

Probably the greatest attribute of the typical cup of coffee you find "out there" while chasing is, it tastes so f*cking bad it keeps you awake.

I used to get late night truck stop coffee plain black just because it tasted so bad. Worked better than energy drinks.

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 25-May-20 10:54 AM

Oh man it’s so true. You get the caffeine with a side of severe hatred for what you’re drinking.

Drew Terril (OKC, OK) 25-May-20 11:26 AM

There are some truck stops where you can get ok coffee (certain blends of Pilot/FlyingJ and TA/Petro are ok if made right), but there's a reason I have an intverter and coffee maker on the big rig.

Ed Tierney (Des Plaines, IL) 25-May-20 11:32 AM

Casey's general store coffee though lol

Drew Terril (OKC, OK) 25-May-20 11:51 AM

Yeah Casey's is decent. especially their dark blend. Road Ranger in the Midwest (there are a few in Texas now) is decent as well.

Adam Reagan (Norman, OK) 25-May-20 12:31 PM

Then there's Waffle House coffee.

Peter Potvin (Pembroke, ON) ✱ 25-May-20 12:36 PM

Then there's Timmies coffee

2

Drew Terril (OKC, OK) 25-May-20 12:36 PM

Waffle House is "I need to sober up" coffee. Because I can count on one hand the number of times I've been to a waffle house when I'm not drunk

Can't get Timmies in Texas unfortunately lol (edited)

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 25-May-20 03:39 PM

Well the offer officialy stands that if any of you are ever driving through the Austin area and need a tasty pick-me-up, let me know. I LOVE making lattes for other people. And I, like Buc-ees, also have clean restrooms. lol

Shane Adams (Fort Worth, TX) 25-May-20 04:43 PM

Noted. And thank you.

Matthew Harding (Wichita, KS) 25-May-20 05:56 PM

Can't get Timmies in Texas unfortunately lol

@Drew Terril (OKC, OK) if you’re in Indiana and points East...you can have Timmy’s

B. Dean Berry (Pittsburgh PA) ✱ 26-May-20 03:41 AM

Pilot House Blend.

Matt Salo (Minneapolis, MN) 26-May-20 04:05 AM

Casey's Dark Roast/French Roast.

Depending on the chase day though, I sometimes make my own, and carry a big ass thermos!

Today will be one of those days! Thermos full of Alegro Organic French Roast!

Drew Terril (OKC, OK) 26-May-20 05:00 AM

Ick. I can't do Pilot House Blend. They make that stuff super weak. Casey's Dark roast is solid though. I try to keep Timmies Dark Roast in stock in the semi, but I'm down to 3 bags (which is running low by my standards). Which means I need another Chillicothe, OH run where there's one across the street from where I deliver.

Peter Potvin (Pembroke, ON) ✱ 26-May-20 01:23 PM

I really like how this event channel turned into a discussion channel about different coffee brands

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 26-May-20 01:24 PM

I was going to apologize for dragging us so far off topic, but people were into it lol

This should be archived as a thread called "coffee recs"

Mike Thornton (Norman, OK) 26-May-20 01:33 PM

I mean, yesterday's chase day was wack. So why not talk about coffee instead? (edited)

4

Lisa M. (Pflugerville, TX) 26-May-20 01:40 PM

EXACTLY.

Joshua Yurkiewicz (Bastrop, TX) 26-May-20 06:45 PM

GL to those chasing tomorrow! I will definitely be out.. I hope it’s better than yesterday...
