Attempting to Drive from RI to Kansas in 24 hours today (1 Viewer)

[massraider]

I'm in Chili's in Olaf (Olathe?) RIGHT NEXT TO ONE. OMG OMG OMG!!!

The thought of Chiltos next to the hotel I slept in last night is quite the head job. Check please!

Don't I feel dumb, besmirching Kansas. Mea culpa.

I JUST ATE A CHILI CHEESE BURRITO AND IT WAS right.

HUGE development. It just occurred to me we may have passed by one of the elusive Taco Bells that still carry the Chilito, aka chili cheese burritos on the way here. If anyone has any information on that it would be incredible. I told my son he may not want to try one if we do find it. Otherwise it will haunt his dreams for years like me.

They are among you, according to this map ...

I'm in Chili's in Oloth RIGHT NEXT TO ONE. OMG OMG OMG!!!

The thought of Chiltos next to the hotel I slept in last night is quick the head job. Check please!

I'm super jealous. The closest one to me is six hours away, and not on the way to anywhere, so I'll never just happen by it. I haven't had one in years

Where do you live again?

Was gonna offer to bring some home to you on the drive, but that's not happening.

If you’re at the Chili’s in Olathe, go a couple miles east on 151st to Austin’s or The Peanut instead. The Peanut has the best chicken wings you’ll ever eat.

This man knows things.

Oh, and you are in Kansas City. Eat some ****ing BBQ.

It's been a busy afternoon. My aunt passed right as we were leaving, and I had to make some calls today. That being said, I may try and get to a decent restaurant tomorrow, and I do love wings. Hopefully they have mild Buffalo.

Indiana is awful btw

Worst state I've driven through. I once ended up driving a rental through France. So much of France reminds me of driving through Indiana. Terribly boring.

The midwest is a rough stretch to drive on the highways, sorry midwesterners, although 5 in California is no thrill either

Kansas is the worst state to drive though IMO, never feels like its gonna end

Nebraska says hello

Nebraska was the worst when I did a kc to long Beach trip in college


Recently, Elko, NV to Vegas is brutal. No one at all and literally looks like the moon the entire way

The outer limits of Nevada are definitely some of the weirdest places in this country. It is other planet material.

Just hit Taco Bell AGAIN ffs

IF it interests you, years ago I used to drive back-and-forth between the Midwest and NY state, and something that I looked forward to was....

Long John Silvers NE of Cleveland right off of US 90

Oh snap. I forgot it was Snoopy's cousin Spike from Needles. His cousin Olaf was from Minnesota.

Of course.

As a friend of Woodstock, you really should know these things.

West Texas would like to have a word.

Ever driven in the ugly part of California? Particularly, Needles to Victorville? Eesh.

We lived in the Mojave desert while my dad attended Test Pilot School. El Paso to San Antonio or Dallas is worse than anything else by far. Imagine Phoenix to Yuma with less places to stop and twice the distance.

Edwards AFB, CA? My dad was Army Flight Test Activity in the mid 70s, my freshman, soph years of high school. Life in the desert consisted of tennis, bowling, searching for errant drives beyond the fairways(in the desert) and the "Flush". Transfer to the Pentagon and I'm finishing high school in Fairfax County,VA.

 

[rockaction]

Sorry, brothers from Needles and Minnesota. I forget the relation sometimes. They're pups together.

 

[rockaction]

Here you go, Snoopyheads.

Snoopy's siblings

Snoopy's siblings are minor animal characters in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. On June 6, 1959, following the birth of Charlie Brown's younger sister Sally, Snoopy remarks that he has no brothers or sisters, and is an "only dog." This was later contradicted in the strip from May...

I spent 1st grade at Edwards (82-83). Great place to ride a bmx bike. We lived in Falls Church, Springfield, and Alexandria on our tours to the Pentagon and Air War College. I didn’t live in a house for more than 3 years until I was 30.

I was born at Ft.Devins before it was a prison in Mass. My dad was Army. That's all I got

Nine Chiltos in six hours....

GLORIOUS

Good thing I brought Metamucil

 

[PIK95]

Why is Ike Canadian? I totally forgot.

 

[Dezbelief]

Good thing I brought Metamucil

I was wondering what how anyone's digestive system could handle 3 taco bell trips, in unfamiliar territory, after a cannonball run.


I think Ike was adopted.

It’s like you WANT to crap yourself on your drive home.

Yeah, all of this Taco Bell and long John silvers talk is making my stomach flip. I can’t imagine hitting these places on a road trip

 

[3C's]

I don't think I've ever had a 'chilito' and looks like from the map I won't be having one any time soon. Suppose if I went down 95 into NC to see my daughter I could but there's certainly better things along the way than that.

 

[gianmarco]

Imagine driving 24 hours to Kansas City, home of some top notch BBQ (and other food as well) and hitting up the local Taco Bell instead. Multiple times.

Now imagine being poor.

Seriously though, I don't own a CC and have to make sure I have proper gas money for the ride home. It was way more than expected coming here. My son wants to hit a breakfast joint now. No BBQ there I'm assuming.

 

[PIK95]

Are there any alligators or poison snakes in KC? Anything that to worry about? Just curious.

 

[FatMax]

I don't own a CC

Maybe you've posted it before, but why? This kinda baffles me.

We had some major flood issues years ago that destroyed our credit. Around The same time I blew my back out at work, and left the job. Should have lawyered up and workers comped, but just left. That was really stupid. Then during covid things got worse. Still just trying to dig out of all that. It's just easier to use debit now and spend what we have.

I need to find some sort of side hustle job that I can actually do now. I have physical limitations, so I am thinking something online or phone at this point. I am gonna finish my degree soon (need 2k for the one class) and I'm hoping that will help. At the same time my son is going off to college, so there is alot going on. It is what it is.

Gotcha. I have a friend who refuses to get a CC on moral grounds, because they are predatory and make the bank billions on the backs of people who really can't afford it. Which of course is all true, but man, the convenience factor is great, especially of you don't carry a balance.

Sounds like you're being smart about it. Best of luck with things in the future. Life has a way of punching us in the gut something.

Day two starts with drills in 45 minutes, and then a match tonight. My son was playing a bit passive last night under the instructions of a conservative coach. They played a team that implemented my style of pressing. I wasn't thrilled with how it went honestly. I told the boy to play his game as it's a tryout. You have to show them who you are, not deferring even if it's the "right" play. He had a couple of weaker more selfish guys that kept giving away counters all night, which left him defending more often than not. I hope they shuffle them around today. Fingers crossed.

 

[ChiefD]

How much longer you in town?

 

[FatMax]

How much longer you in town?

Until they run out of chili-cheese, and not a minute sooner. Just a guess.
