Okay...for all those that drink energy drinks......

I'm sure it's not very good for keeping the trigger finger steady but I've tried all the energy drinks out there. I have to hit the road at 0130 hours with an applicant so I'm not going to even BOTHER going to bed tonight. I have a 3 1/2-hour drive ahead of me and I'm packing FULL THROTTLE energy drink. It's tops on my list. You can keep your Red Bull and your NO FEAR and all that other nasty stuff. It's a FULL THROTTLE night for me.

How about y'all?

    I got SKOAL going on right now as we speak. The wad will get bigger as the night progresses. I drop him off at 0530 and sleep in the car until 0900 when my presence is required. Then I get to drive him to the BN headquarters.

    The pills went to hell when they banned ephedra. I drove from Olympia, WA to Missouri and thought my trip was miserable. LA? Geez!

    I used to not sleep much when I worked 1 1/2 hours from my house, I used to take those things, thank god I finally quit all that, I don't even do caffeine now.

    My trip from Monterey, CA to Purdy, WA that's comming up again I'll have a 2Lt. of good ol' Mountain Dew, bag of Funn-yons and sunflower seeds (yes the big bag). It'a 13 or 15 hour drive, depending on if I stop for a snack at a truck stop. There's something about truck stop fare (haven't found a waitress named Flo, yet) or the greasy spoon's for flavor.

    Three and a half hours is nothing. Just keep the windows down and the radio blasting.
    I did a 25 hour round trip most of which was in a severe thunderstorm on nothing but peanut better crackers, coffee and fruit. Took a week to get my sleep schedule back to normal. Anymore I use those books on tape or cd for long drives. A good suspense novel or two and you are there.

    I have tried them all the only thing that you can do legally is get the proper rest before you start your trip. As all know there are pharmaceuticals out both over the counter, perscription,and the illegal stuff that will keep you alert. All come with consequences even the caffine in your coffee, I don't knock those who choose to do snuff. I did the stuff myself for years but a doctor once showed me some pictures of someone with mouth cancer and told me where they had to take skin to replace your lips. Ever kissed a a**hole that should tell you where the skin would come from.

    if you really start have trouble staying away , just dip your finger in that Skoal, and put a grain or 2 in the corner of your eye , that'll keep you awake guarantee
