The Incredible Hulk (11/05/2014)

Yesterday, November 3, 2014, I bought the Incredible Hulk and drove it from Fruitland, ID home. Its initial mileage and hours meters read 34,536.3 miles and 1,764.6 hours. Along the way I stopped at a rest area in Oregon.

 When I arrived home the readings were 34,783.1 miles and 1,770.4 hours. So I drove 246.8 miles and the engine was running for 5.8 hours. IH performed perfectly using only 20 gallons of fuel for an economy rating of 12.34 miles per gallon. By the way, IH is not only incredibly large but he is super incredibly LOUD. I was prepared for this and wore a set of noise suppressors for the trip. I was glad I did. (I have an extra pair for a passenger.)

Before arriving in Richland I stopped by a friend's home to show him IH. He took the following picture. He does a better job taking pictures than I do.

Here he is in the driveway ready to go in the garage.

And he's in, Ta Da!

This is called a Pioneer Kit. It contains an axe, a pick, and a shovel. I hope I never need to use it.

Finally we have a five-gallon Jerry can for containing extra diesel fuel. Notice that it is chain-locked. Hope I have the key with me when I need it. And, of course, I hope it has some fuel in it.

Saturday we will be in the Veteran's Day parade in West Richland. I am not a veteran but IH is. So he is taking me.
