Yep! He hauled it to Illinois to go fishing with his brother, then out here. Kids have already had a blast playing in it. Said he got around 15 mpg the whole way. He is more patient than spendy so he doesn't mind driving 60 MPH on the interstate to save gas

It has been my experience that one cannot "quit" any type of habitual behavior until you have convinced yourself that quitting is what you REALLY want to do.
Once you have truly achieved that, it is much easier.
Work at it Mick, I'm sure you can do it.
I used to eat those unfiltered Camel's by the handful...as well as chewing Mail Pouch and then Copenhagen..
Had no trouble at all quitting the cigarettes, but getting rid of the snuff was a different story altogether.

Appreciate the encouragement, Doc. Literature I am reading says the cravings will lessen. I am fighting the mental more than the physical.
