    Got the Truck loaded up. Wife’s got at least 12 gallons of water. Along with juices, groceries, 5 bags of god knows what else. Broke wiper on P/U truck. Got a high beam out, and a fender running light out on the Truck. Fuel filters are almost ready to change. Got a half pack of cigarettes,1/4 tank of fuel, on a mission from God. Found the load of the century. Thanks to Dave’s outfit, youknowwhostar.

    Still not sure which way to take. Guess Ill decide when I get to Nashville. According to the News, it’s Armageddon in Texas. One day, and people are starving, burning their furniture to keep warm. All the Politicians left on the last flight to Cancun.

    A couple weeks ago i let a friend borrow a wide blade shovel to get a side by side unstuck. I hadn't thought about it until today when I went out to clear my driveway. Called him and he said he was still unable to get out of his place but would bring the shovel back tomorrow afternoon.
    I have to be in town at noon tomorrow so today I had to dig out 30 feet of driveway, 14" to 16" deep of snow. With a spade. What fun. Got it done though.
    I told my wife I was going to buy a snow shovel from Amazon. She said if I did if would never snow here again. Exactly. That would be well worth the price of that snow shovel.

    You only have a half pack of cigs. I would change my fuel filters and run the route with the cheapest cigarette prices. Easy enough. Lol

    It is a matter of supply and demand. The demand is still there. The workers are supposedly afraid of work and wont get the job done. So the supply isnt meeting the demand. This accordingt to Mark at Viking Lumber.

    Oh and good night all. The last piece of half inch CDX I got was $37 here in maine

    I got to the top of this one hill, and there's this town. At 8000 feet. Who builds an entire town at 8000 feet?

    The OM is going, " Is this where the sherpa's live?"

    So not only is there a town, there's this huge ### train station with all these steam locomotives.
    I'm going what in the actual f is this place.

    And I thought I'll bet LTD would like this.
