Pilgramage to Saratoga - the Boston version

[Bruce K]

OK Climb, Larry, Bradford, et al:

Have we come up with any ideas for travel plans yet?

It looks to me like a Friday AM departure - on the road 9ish - would be about right if we are going to do the Friday ride.

Start time?

Rally point?

Cell phone numbers (by PM or e-mail please)?

On a related note - quattro, any progress towards joing us?

Uh, Breaker One-Nine, this here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig-Pen? C'mon

Uh, yeah 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag-Town, C'mon

Uh, yeah, that's a big 10-4 Pig-Pen,
Yeah, we definitely got us the front door good buddy,
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy

Was the dark of the moon, on the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We 'as headin' fer bear on I-One-Oh
'Bout a mile outta Shaky-Town
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
An' I'm about to put the hammer on down

Cause we gotta little ol' convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta little ol' convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, breaker Pig-Pen, this here's The Duck
Uh, you wanna back off them hogs
10-4, 'bout five mile or so, 10-roger
Them hogs is gittin' in-tense up here

By the time we got into Tulsa-Town
We had eighty-five trucks in all
But they's a road block up on the clover leaf
An' them bears 'as wall to wall
Yeah them smokies 'as thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear-in-the-air
I sez callin' all trucks, this here's The Duck
We about to go a huntin' bear

Cause we gotta great big convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta great big convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, you wanna give me a 10-9 on that Pig-Pen?
Uh, negatory Pig-Pen, yer still too close
Yeah, them hogs is startin' close up my sinuses
Mercy sakes, you better back off another ten

Well we rolled up interstate fourty-four
Like a rocket sled on rails
We tore up all a our swindle sheets
An' left 'em settin' on the scales
By the time we hit that Chi-Town
Them bears was a gittin' smart
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois National Guard
There 'as armored cars, and tanks, and Jeeps
An' rigs of every size
Yeah them chicken coops 'as full a bears
An' choppers filled the skies
Well we shot the line, an' we went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long-haired friends of Jesus
In a chartreusse microbus

Hey Sod Buster, listen
You wanna put that microbus in behind the suicide jockey?
Yeah, he's haulin dynamite
He needs all the help he can git

Well we laid a strip fer the Jersey Shore
An' prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge 'as lined with bears
But I didn't have a doggone dime
I sez Pig-Pen, this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate doin' ninety-eight
I sez, let them truckers roll, 10-4

Cause we gotta mighty convoy, rockin' through the night
Yeah we gotta mighty convoy, ain't she a beautiful sight?
Come on an' join our convoy, ain't nothin' gonna git in our way
We're gonna roll this truckin' convoy, cross the USA
Convoy... Convoy...

Uh, 10-4 Pig-Pen, what's yer 20?
Omaha?!
Well they oughta know what to do with them hogs out there fer sure
Well mercy sakes alive good buddy
We gonna back on outta here
So keep the bugs off yer glass
An' the bears off yer... tail
We gonna catch ya on the flip-flop
This here's the Rubber Duck on the side
We gone
Bye, Bye...

[Too Tall]

Reefer...mmmmm!!! I mean brrr.


Truckin' - got my chips cashed in
Keep Truckin - like the doodah man
Together - more or less in line
Just keep Truckin on

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street
Chicago, New York, Detroit it's all on the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

GOOD GRIEF, James,

You DO have lots of time on your hands (and fast typing fingers, too). :eek: :help: :eek:

If you now post the translated (into normal human) terms version I will seriously wonder what you've been up to.

The unfortunate thing is that from all the long drives hauling our race cars back in the late 70's/early 80's I understand every word of that silly ditty. :rolleyes:

[Kevan]

If you come across a bunch of cyclists heading north thru Mass, I'm not one of them. :rolleyes:

[Larry D]

Climb,

My wife and I are going to be part of the CONVOY. If you would either email or PM me your address, we will make sure we are at your house and ready to join the CONVOY before 9.

See you then. :)

Big Willie Style and I will be coming up from the South on 146 and joining the Pike at Worcester. I'll try to time it so you pass us on the Pike somewhere. I'll PM you my cell phone so we can link up.

Even Rhea Basset gives him a side-ways look.

Shet mah mouth!

[Bruce K]

The latest plan is to depart from Climb's house in Concord at 9:00AM on Friday.

Members of the "caravan" can either contact Climb or me to get directions.

Bradford, let's get cell #'s (by PM or e-mail) and plan a meeting point so you can connect up.

hypnos - are you still in on the room?

quattro - are you still looking for a ride?

[Smiley]

Are the Yankee's fans ready to have these Sox fans together in one place drinking FREE beer :banana:

[Bradford]

Are the Yankee's fans ready to have these Sox fans together in one place drinking FREE beer :banana:

No worries there, mon capitan. Beer drinking happens at night. While the Sox fans are inside drinking beer with the O's fans, the Yankees fans will be outside howling at the moon and worshiping the devil :D

[quattro]

Well, as much as I would like to be part of the caravan, my already in place vacation plans for this year unfortunately don't allow me to take another day off, or in baseball symantics, off day. So, while this Yankee fan would love to mix it up with other Serotta Forum members and assorted Red Sox fans, and Yankee fans I hope, it looks like I'm stuck at work on Friday June 10. I assure you I will not be outside howling at the moon and worshiping the devil! To everyone in the caravan, have a safe voyage, hope the riding is great, the weather cooperative and the beer cold. Enjoy the weekend and GO YANKS!!
