You can just set them on your dash. I've borrowed a friends a bunch and it works fine. They work via rfid, so when you pash through, they activate and scan the reader and get your id and bill you for the toll you are passing through.

On another note, have youj looked at jumping onto I80/894 .. at least MI doesn't toll you and 80/94 in indiana isn't tolled either. That's how I go to Iowa is Via 80 and it costs a 1.10 to go from MI to Iowa in tolls. Just a thought.

Well as most of you probably already realize Lola and I will not be ablke to make the trip this year. Back in January I was called back to work after being laid off in March. I was actually suprised to be called back as we had a really mild winter this year and people were not using as much heating oil they did last year.

This year they decided to keep me on and I am now delivering everyone's favorite mens cologne, on road diesel LOL. Since i went back there has only been one week that I worked forty hours, all the rest ranged from 50 hours to 65 hours a week so I did not feel it would be right for me to ask for the time off. We do hope to make it next year though and of course that will all depend on the work status as well as the financial status. If I am still working at the same place and I hope to be I will try to get that week for vacation and then you can be stuck with seeing Lola and I again. That is of course if you want to put up with us again. :D

Have fun and be safe. By the way does Goose still have that injection pump?. With 200K on what is I believe to be the original pump I think it's about time for it to be changed as well as the injectors.

John, I regret to inform you that I do not have this pump any longer. The ex wound up having it scrapped among MANY other valuable things that I lost in my divorce. ;Really:backoff:backoff If you find something, my offer still stands to come and aid in the install.

Sorry you won't make it John, but glad to hear you are working again. Jobs are a double edged sword.
