What if it Snows?

There's actually 2 Russels

Glen Rio on I40 at the TX Line has the big parking lot and big Museum.

I25 location has some cars on display but did not notice a showroom.

Russell's Travel Center

 

Yes i meant the one on i40 was the one iwent to. Didnt know there was 2 of them, looks like ill have to visit the one on 25

 

Imade the mistake of putting my chapstick in there when i first got my cascadia. Not sure why it gets so hot in that compartment but mine still has reminants of chapstick in it lol

 

I40 location was one of my target spots for parking when I ran that way.

I25 was not overly impressive for the cars. There are just a few '50s era cars roped off around the convenience store.

 

Ambulance in the truck parking area of the Loves in Sidney, NE this morning... Dont know what happened but I hope everyone is ok.

 

Food tip on the Russels on I40.

They have a green chili stew out in those soup containers in the C-store that is dang good. Comfortable level of heat for those of us that are in the "pain is not a flavor" crowd. Basic ingredients is Pork (I think), green chilies, and taters. Basic comfort food. I would pair it with a chunk of corn bread if available.

Same stuff is also in the travel center at Sky City.

 

Get rid of the Chapstick.

The best lip treatment by far is Carmex. You can buy a small squeeze bottle that will last for a couple of months.

The most plentiful active ingredient of Carmex is lanolin aka "sheep sweat". Lanolin is the oil from sheep that saturates wool. It is a natural healing "ingredient" that will help any kind of surface wound.

When I was a boy my family kept a large bottle of pure lanolin in the medicine cabinet. We worked hard in the field and on mechanical things. At the end of the day we rubbed lanolin over our hands to heal any open cuts or sores.

Carmex adds menthols and other ingredients to boost the healing power. I always had Carmex in my backpack when climbing. It was my "go to" treatment for chapped lips or chapped hands when climbing big mountains like Mt. Rainer or Denali.

Get RID of wax based Chapstick. Switch to lanolin based Carmex. You won't be sorry.

 

I would love to spend a day in the middle of the studio during a Brass Against recording. They use a number of different vocalists. It's simply amazing...

 

Here ya go, Tuck....

 

Burt's Bees is good also... I like Carmex when I'm fighting a cold, though. The mentholatum really helps.
