    Well— that’s a lot better than breaking a sweat shoveling snow at 0630

    Water(clean or murky) means a lot on land sales/purchases. In the south, it is enhanced by Cotton Allotments" for the property.

    Alliance. The deep cycles are $91. Think the regulars are $68. I put regulars in Casper nar 3 years ago, and they still work.

    It's so cold out I don't if I want to start the truck. It's 14''F. I have the block heater on and a trickle charger. I have to do a load so I don't lose the trailer. I drove up to sam's club and they were closed for cleaning and inventory. I needed a box spring and the riser for my mattress. I want it up a few feet, so it's not as cold. I guess I could a sheet of plywood on cinder blocks. I would rather have it higher.

    So we had 40 and 50 mph wind gust according to the news.

    Disregarding loss to access and positioning, about how many rigs could you park on an acre?

    Also a serious question. How would a start up fly as a "Truck Only Stop"? Adequate parking for say 50 trucks. Fuel island. Small café/shower building with a couple of local mother/grans providing meals. Minimum offers of "options needed" at the fuel island. Plainly a trucks only.. No cars or RVS. Wheel in, fuel, park, eat, sleep, go. Sort of like a miniature Buc-ee's of trucks.

    Me too. Golfing . Watson had a heart attack, died dead suddenly on the 12th hole. Traumatic for sure. And tiring.
