    Heading out to Streetsboro..yay me. Sorry I dozed off on y'alls.... I get a few 'gimmes' from Chewy, plus a 15% employee discount. She's already stolen the dog's bed...I'll get her, her own. I hope she doesn't leave. My dog's recliner (yep, he has his own, i know i know... ) She scratches on.

    I just hope she doesn't leave.

    Roo is getting attached. ( or is it me?!?!? :( )

    Not sure where you've been since the Mag. . . but, hope it's well for you. Glad to meet up again.

    Dave is the angel..putting up w/the likes of me (and Willy, haha!) and I'm grateful. Ten minutes...sheesh me.

    Thanks again, man.

    Be safe, all y'all~!
    ttys,Tom

    I got my 2 hours of my split; heading out as well~! I don't WANNA~!!!

    I found a 'lunchbox' on Amazon, by Dometic..... Might have to. Exhaust manny works... for a time or so..until the cheese rolls out the foil~!!

    Be safe, mi compadres. Thanks for listening to my whiney... ykw. One of those days.

    ps: Did I say the wife cut my hair, and nose, and ears, and...... eyebrows? (at least she didn't cut too short on the bald(ing) spot.)

    G'nite, y'all.. G'morn, to me~!!

    Thanks again, Dave. ;)

    Used to pull a bullrack that would do the same thing... I put the mudflaps back on the truck when I went to take my CDL test with the flatbed and forgot to take them back off after. Next day I hooked up the bullrack... First tight corner I heard a clank bang and knew exactly what it was. Tore one mud flap clean off the truck, mangled the other one. And gouged up the drop at the front of the lower deck. I was so pissed that I flung both mudflaps as far as I could throw them off into the weeds... They are probably still there.

    Let that burger (wrapped in tin foil) ride on the exhaust manifold for an hour or 2 before you want to eat... Should warm it up real nice, especially if you have a couple of good grades to pull in that same time frame.

    I used to bake potatoes that way when I was a kid driving truck in the spud harvest. Each morning I would grab a big baker fresh from the dirt, stab it a few times with a fork, stick a long stiff wire through the center, and then place it on the manifold using the wire to help secure it in place. By lunch time it was nicely baked. All I had to do was make sure I had butter, salt & pepper, and a fork with me in the truck.

    Well I saw snow earlier today in western WY... Temps were in the upper 30s. Looked like it must have snowed last night or this morning. Was about an inch or 2 still visible in the grass areas and in the shade.

    Well.

    I dreamed that a I loaded up the back of my pickup with empty soda cans, sold them and went to a protest.

    Must have been something in my pizza.

    So much fun dealing with truck drivers whom refuse to do a internet search. Menard's appears to be a cross of a store from a Walmart and a Lowes. Otherwise the stores are primarily in the central USA .
