Well today is the day to put Hooch to the test once more and after so many have contributed in getting him back on his feet running smooth I think we are more prepared now then we ever have been. Thank you all again I could not of done it alone. Since so many were involved to make this trip happen I thought I would start a post to let you join in on some of the fun (warning Howard this could be a deep rabbit hole). For those of you with FiOs I think HDnet will be broadcasting from the event I will post time if I can find the details when I get to work. For those just joining us on this adventure You can see some of what you are in store for at www.bonnaroo.com.

Captains Log -- Star Date 2K12.6.5.1-- headed in to what is sure to be one of the longest days at work. Hooch is for the most part packed and ready to go.

I have mixed feelings as we near our departure mostly due to the newly added rocket box. Currently it houses all my chairs, tools, side tent and poles along with other misc. camping gear. This is leaving the bus empty and clear to move around but leaving me with the feeling that I have nothing packed lol. Celly and Michelle stopped by after the meeting last night to drop off a solar panel for hooch and wish us well on our journey.

Currently the plan is to get through 8 hours of hell at work then run home to hopefully find my VIP tickets in the mail, finish packing and hopefully take a "Jack Nap" till rush hour is done. Once the roads have cleared we start our ~800 mile trek to Manchester, TN. for 4 days of music.

I wish you and your navigator well on your adventurer Captain T.

On your Journey through the twisted space of blacktop and time

I highly recommend you don't use warp speed all the way but to have extended cruises at sub warp of 55mph so your Hyper Drive is not scattered throughout deep space blacktop.  

Have a safe flight my friends!
I don't have to go to work in the morning....

Have a safe journey, Captain T and First Mate R!  Remember,  Second star to the right...and straight on 'til morning.

Captains Log -- Star Date 2K12.6.6.1 -- Thus far the trip has been slow going. I currently find myself sitting in a small dinner a block away from home.

We will be enjoying some of the local flavor then shopping for some last min supplies while we wait for the mail to arrive. We were set to leave last night but I was told to wait for my VIP passes which should arrive today.  So with any luck we should be on the road passes in hand by 3pm at the latest.

Just don't drive like a crazy man trying to get there overnight. Or else ?/banghea?/
