Just bring lots of snacks like jerky, chips, water, soda pop, etc.
And come back 50lbs heavier lol,

What? A 370 in our hood? Dammit, I miss all the excitement.

And you only come back 5 lbs heavier unless you're puking your guts out like Steve.

I will be starting my training tomorrow for the stair climb at the IDS tower. Last year, I 'ran' *cough* 50 flights of stairs in 12 minutes. Hopefully, I can break that personal time this year.

I thought you yakked at Tami's house and then some on the way down to ZDAYZ.

Actually, the legs do burn after a while. But by the top, it's not so bad. My throat and sinuses burn, though.

Spring cruise? Sounds cool. Last year was great. I couldn't believe we had 24 Z's and a G show up at my house. How are we going to top that this year? And are we going south again? I think we should go southwest toward George's restaurant in New Ulm. He has a ZR and has never been to a meet, plus he owns a restaurant there!

That sounds good. I like Stillwater. I just hate the traffic in town and around that area.

We don't have back seats to sleep in....

The last year I went, Steve and I pulled into a rest stop and took a nap. The Z isn't the greatest for sleeping in, but it'll do.

I never spent that much money going to Zdayz.

I had no problem sleeping in my car on the way back from chicago a couple years ago. I couldn't make it all the way back after a long day and had to pull over and sleep. slept for 5 hrs, slept like a baby

So who thinks Spring will be on time this year? Or are we looking at a Summer cruise/meet before all the ice and snow melts?

I can sleep anywhere, just saying that it wasn't the most comfy in the Z.

Alex, to answer your last text.... I don't know yet.

Stillwater would be a good cruise, but you have to take main street north to taylors falls for some good curves. Then there a old school A&W drive in restaurant. We did a cruise last fall out there then took the wis side back to Hudson. I would suggest that.
