When I left home it said 6 hours took me almost 8 :) I put in start point and end point into my phone. Then threw the phone in the center console and only looked at it a couple times.

The journey is half the fun. I have seen some pretty amazing things doing that. Plus I rarely travel the same route twice.
You have to take into account that the estimated time is based on being able to maintain the speed limit the entire way.  The GPS or computer does not take into account farm tractors on the road, pit stops, Sunday drivers, ETC.
Glad you made it both ways.

it does however take into account the parking lot on I-90 on the way home. Was pretty accurate if I actually stuck to the route. But I like to make it up as I go. If I always followed the GPS I would never see anything.

if you use your GPS to get to my house you will see a lot it has me 3 miles deep in the woods on a skidder trail by an old blue stone quarry we do the ride every summer with the 4 wheelers i don't trust GPS i like an old fashion road map/atlas

Peter, I'd like to thank you again for hosting us on Saturday. My wife and I had a great time, and will do it again whenever the next time comes. I think she got more interested in the milling than she expected to, and had a good time. We took the scenic route on the way home. I owed her for letting me come, so we went to L.L.Bean in Concord on the way home; but then I drug her up to my aunt's old place in Warner to see how time has changed it (not really for the better). My aunt passed away in '66, and my mother sold the house to the neighbors that year.
  Thanks, again. Hope to see you again.

Well the appointment I had to have my windshield replaced got cancelled. So I had my car towed half way home.
My dad and I took the truck and trailer out and brought my car the rest of the way home. I'm home for good now and don't have any more road trips planned for this year. 

Now back to work. I got three more orders over the weekend. Things are starting to pick up.

I also had a GPS error a few years ago, in fact 2. On one I entered my destination and it took me to a dead end, it seems a bridge had washed out about 30 years earlier but the GPS sent me that way.
In another case, I have a sugarhouse and about 6 years ago I kept getting calls that people could not find me during an open house event. Turned out the Google maps put my sugarhouse 4 miles west , but on the same road, in a different village. I notified Google maps and over the next year I notified them about 8-10 more times, finally about 14 months later I got a call from Google and they corrected it.
I sure wish I could have attended, maybe next year!

I forget who I was talking to about the exhaust mod I made on my predator, I think it was Bruno. Here are the pics. It was a 1.5" diameter pipe. it slid over the outlet on the muffler perfectly. I chose not to try to clamp it cause it was such a nice fit instead I added the support tab that should work perfectly. I did cut the excess off before the bend just to keep it closer to the muffler. Now the exhaust will not blow in my face, is not much taller than it was and is not a rain catch. I did put the flame arrestor back on it to keep critters out.

I thought I had some high temp black paint but unfortunately I did not so it is going to stay grey till I have a need to get some more high temp paint.

It is Summit part number
SUM-623001

I forgot to mention the spark arrestor is the same diameter as the pipe. I just used a wide hose clamp to hold it on there. More than likely it is going to fall off but we will see for now.

I don't know if you can get one that small, but I got an exhaust pipe expander at the auto parts store for not much money.

Today is the first time I looked at them. You can have them. Put one of the slabs you have on them and you can give it away at the next party.
