    Tell me about it... Snow was above my ankles and got into my slippers this morning when I went out to start my pickup.

    It’s going to be 74 here and my AC needs recharged. Can’t do it now as I am already late getting to bed. Cuss words are flying.

    80 here.
    Got Pete Smart Air apu thing working yesterday, was to cool to check it, then, but it’s low on freon.
    So, i’ve changed a $400 relay, a 200A fuse, and put new batteries on it.
    Then brakes and Drums also yesterday.

    This 80 degree day is just to much.

    That really bothers you? Hell they ain’t even above the sides. Do you think the wind is going to push a 9 foot 200 pound rough cut rail road tie?

    The Wind won't be the problem, the superior acceleration of the Ford might cause the Ties to be left at the last Stop Sign or Traffic Light

    A Reverse Bulkhead could guard against that happening

    "Powered by Dodge" would be what's known as an unrealistic expectation. 1/4 mile, sure. But if you’re driving home from the race, you might want a spare.

    It is in the way that top piece is fitted. The steady jostling (based on road speed/that curve ahead) tends to "fit' it down, applying steady outward pressure to the side rails.
    Old MS way tho... Making one trip do it (See nearly flat tires), and the pleasantly configured remote road routing. (LEO's out on the hard road today)
    Did you by any chance see Ole Brett Favre while down in the Kiln area? Probably not; since he accessed the pore folks fund, he has been pretty busy.
    Probably meeting with Phil and their attys in Jax to plot the finish.

    Be sure and notice the Medias starting text on all our troubles with these tornados....
    Mississippi, Poorest state in the nation, struck by.......... (any type disaster...) The italicised is a slug to auto print when the state name appears...
