    No sir... :biggrin_25512: As a matter of fact, that smell bothers my nose... :biggrin_2552:
    "Real Flavor".... :biggrin_25523: Gotta go to Brasil to experience food with REAL FLAVOR.... sorry... but the food in America has no flavor... folks have to put a lot of industrialized artificial condiments to create a flavor... and cook with bacon... yeah... folks here are addicted to bacon.... But I am talking about everything else but meat....
    Along these years living in America, it seems to me that the food, I mean everything that grows from the soil, is losing its taste... :biggrin_2552: The onion, the garlic for example... they have no smell and no taste.... the green herbs used for seasoning... no smell at all and no taste.... :biggrin_2552: The chayote squash, the cabbage, the spinach... the same thing... no taste.... I can go on and on.... more and more the natural food in this country is losing its natural taste.... :biggrin_2557:

    And there are no taxi cabs around here... it seems that nobody here uses taxi cabs any more...:biggrin_25512: they use Uber instead... but I don't... not going to give my debit card number online to some app... I concern a lot about hackers stealing my account info... Heck, I read somewhere that Uber had some info stolen another day.... :biggrin_1square1:
    I don't do any business transaction online... Call me old fashion..

    From here to WM is a one hr walk... I can do it... but not in a mood to do that today.... and then back.... cause it may rain...
    I will bobtail tomorrow and use my pc miles...
    This is what I mean about being a "prisoner" in the truck.... I am considering buying a motorized scooter.... just need some kind of transportation when I am off for 34 hrs at a place that has nothing less than 3 miles away...

    So... this weekend (so far) my company spent 65.00 (truck wash to determine where the leaks were) + 107.13 (replacement of hood mirror damaged by truck wash) + 417.55 (sealing trailer roof) + 577.23 (replacement of APU motor mount and belt) = $1,166.91 :biggrin_2552:
    These are the times I like being just a company driver...
