    Buddy,

    With the discounts from the fuel plan the more you drive the more you save, enough to pay for all the oversize crawfish you can fit in your freezer.

    But if fuel consumption is a big issue just do what the NASCAR guys do and draft us. I have calculated that at 62.5 MPH if you place the nose of your bus exactly 13.2 inches off my back bumper you will have to keep your Jake brake engaged to keep from bumping my highly polished rear door and our fuel mileage will go from normal to 23.67 MPG. This is all theoretical of course.

    The fuel plan discounts are not theoretical.

    Jon Based on what you and Gary want I’ll get 200lbs. What others don’t buy we’ll freeze for ourselves.

    Jon you should be good for a 100lbs at least. What you have to do is cook the lobster for 2 minutes,

    than put in ice cold water to stop the cooking. After that you take the tails drain out the water and rap in a

    brown paper you can get at Staples. You have to do this so the shell doesn’t cut the freezer bag when you

    vacuum seal it. Do you have a vacuum sealer? A must so the meat will last longer in the freezer. Lobster is

    good for 2 years if vacuum sealed. We have a vac sealer if you don’t. The rest of the meat can be

    deshelled and bagged. I plan on buying the lobster on Friday the day of the rally. I needed to know how

    much to buy so I can let the pound know. Rick
