    Pour a pint or 2 of isopropyl alcohol in with your washer fluid... It is also the best anti-gel for your fuel that money can buy.

    Good advice but make sure it's the 90% stuff and not the 70 or whatever it is.

    Yes must be AT LEAST 90%... If you can find the good stuff that is 98% (I think) thats even better. For my fuel I add 4 oz for every 100 gallons... 1 pint will treat 400 gallons... If it is colder than -15 degrees I will double that.

    But when adding to washer fluid best to add a whole pint to the reservoir then top off with washer fluid.

    I think LS agrees with you, Got a call asking if I was o.k. cause I've been parked. Asked her if she could do a debit card to cover the negative settlements.... She seamed o.k. after that but did suggest that running something next week to cover the balance would be a good idea.

    It's 31 in Reno.

    My God.

    And of course I woke up and had to take a crap like a rhinoceros.

    So had to walk half mile to a gas station in the 31 degree temperature hoping they had a bathroom.

    I mean the cat's litter box was looking pretty good there for a minute.

    I saw that. The tops the SF peaks were well covered when I went by them Sunday.

    It's the drought.

    I asked Sheila if the trees needed watering now, she said probably not until April.

    I would, but have some things to do. Need a few days off too, and PM.

    This chic bagged me on a load that knocked me out of my zone, and it's kept me out for almost an extra two weeks.

    She called right after I passed a hazmat inspection. So I was in a good mood, F/U though taking the load.

    Can't let your guard down for one second.
