    Back in this lil fart of a town in southren IN. Back to Bama one mo gin! Red, I will neither confirm, nor deny, any involvement in things that may, or may not, have been done to certain types of freight moving apparatuses, that most certainly involved some choice words, a hammer, probably a pair of pliers and who knows what else. In other words, " what was the question again?"

    ...yet you've no room for the kitchen sink. For shame. Such an unprepared driver.

    And yet, of the items you mentioned, those are also the only things you can't buy in a store!

    What is the airspeed of an unladen swallow?

    That was kind of my point. I have a plastic tote under the bunk inside, and both side boxes crammed full of useful crap. How much of that do you actually use in an average week? Or even a month?
    Did they have a metal detector at the door? I saw a sign like that at the KW dealer but oops it was too late. Besides, you should know it's not really Mexican food if the place isn't in CA, AZ, NM, or far west TX. Anywhere else is a weak imitation.

    Coincidentally my wife and I visited a local Mex restaurant we've enjoyed from time to time, since we moved into the area 15 yrs ago. For the first time ever, lousy slow service. Might have been growing pains since they just moved across the street into a bigger place. Just as I was not quite done eating, the table practically collapsed. As if someone knew it was rickety and wedged it into the moulding on the wall just perfectly to sit right. Leaned on it just so and almost had the whole meal in my lap.

    Of course the waiter was nowhere to be seen (surprise!) and already making this less enjoyable, so I went straight to the manager while the missus kept the table upright. I guess the waiter picked up on the commotion and rushed over. What does he do? Clears the table like a busboy instead of moving our stuff to another table. Wait! I wasn't done eating! The manager was already comping the meal because of the table disaster. She offered a to-go order of whatever I wanted when she saw what happened with the plates. Pretty pissed our visit ended like that, but will return. Best simulated Mexican food around here LOL.

    I was not armed that day, so didn't have the option to shoot the waiter or pistol whip him for bad service. On the other hand, if I do carry I'm usually only packing a little plastic Kel-tec .380 so it wouldn't really hurt too bad if I hit him with it. Guess I could have kicked him real hard with a steel toe shoe. LOL

    @Vilhiem, true enough, I don't have a sink in here. But I do have a toaster, electric skillet, butane stove top burner, lunchbox oven and toaster oven. Took the grill out for the 4th of July.

    @RedForeman, the only thing I haven't used is the lug removal tool. I call that insurance.
