1st road trip

It's starting reliably and running so-so, so I took it on a road trip to Texas Interhash which was on lake Summerville (100m). Engine was missing the whole way there. I think it's cylinders 1 and 3 based on pulling plug-wires. #1 injector sounds like it's firing; can't probe #3. I'm starting to think this may be a mechanical problem that shows up when the motor is hot rather than an electrical or fuel issue. Could be a bad vacuum leak, valve issue, or rings. I digress...

Texas Interhash 2011

• Brenham did a really good job again (they hosted in 95 too). This is a small hash so they all did a lot of work.
  
• Over 300 people; these are getting HUGE. I suspect it'll get harder and harder to find venues capable of handling the numbers.
  
• The crowd is defineatly getting much lazier; I think a good 1/3 never left camp. There were only 18 on the ballbuster. I can remember much smaller hashes having 30-50.
  
• Seems like every time I saw Yard Ralph she was picking up trash; use to be hashers didn't litter. So much for tree-hugging liberals caring about the environment. Only the guilty need feel guilty...
• They only had a band on Friday night. This was a good thing as trying to do skits, Mr/Ms TXIH, plus a band plus the midnight hash on Sat night is too much. FWIW, we only started having bands in the last 10 years or so. The first paid band I remember was SA (at Corpus) in 2002. Maybe SA did in 97, I can't remember for sure...
• Food was okay. I got enough to eat but I sure miss Hash Potato's grubs.
• Hash drama - if you can't leave it at home, stay home. Nuff said.
• Skits were quite good this year. TiteBox probably had the best one.
  
• Ft Worthless in 2012; Wicked Itch and I are already signed up.
