    So fuel and DEF cost so far is $0.216 mile. This is acceptable to The OM. :dog:

    You could wear a scarf like an old west bank robber. Then a cowboy hat and a six shooter on your hip. Just tell them the hat and gun go with the mask.

    Just to be brief and not clutter the thread.

    The purpose is not to stop mask wearers from getting it, rather to stop unknown infected people from easily spreading.

    Given the virus is not airborne, but rather relies on moisture droplets to move around, they are remarkably effective.

    Side effect is its much harder to touch your mouth or nose, so it limits transmission posibilities in a more secondary way as well.
    Plus people avoid you when wearing one so no close contact. LOL

    They can be awful. Have a reputation of reporting running dogs to the Fish and Game as running deer. They are a pain. I wouldn't take Julie out to that wildlife area, east of Missoula because of it.
    I already had it out with an idiot working for EPA. Back of Billings airport. I'd bring my sweetheart back there for exercise. She's run toward the deer. Hoping they would want to play. She was very civil. They would run and keep going. She'd stop. Turn around. Depressed. .... This idiot raised all kids of trouble for everyone. Airport security, head of Airport, anyone he could. Even had Fish and Game threaten to cite him for baiting deer. He demanded I be cited for running deer. Well... he had salt licks out there.... 'baiting them'. ... Well... It all came to and end when I found out about everything from Airport Security. I went to his bosses boss. The answer was simple: "You won't have anymore problem."

    Tbh it really doesnt bother me to wear a mask, i just think its stupid how the government just make up rules out of nowhere and were just supposed to blindly follow them is the part that annoys me... what happend to freedom ? That should be a choice i can make on my own, whether to wear a mask or not.

    Well.

    I have a story that happened to me earlier.
    I was checking my truck out being Saturday, and noticed I had a tire with a knot on it.
    So, I keep good spares and match tires up, so I had one and threw it on the catwalk, strapped it down and off to the tire shop, they do car and truck tires.

    Well, while waiting my turn I was just going over anything that may need a zip tie, or anything needing attention.
    Anyways, while doing this, somehow I got a finger mashed.
    Well, I said something about that “pos son of a gun.”

    Well, there was some guy standing there, watching.
    Afterwards, he told me, “I’m going to pray for you, you seem to be a lost soul who needs forgiveness.”

    I may have been wrong, but my reply was, “I think he’s got enough problems and prayers right now to worry with the little things.”

    He told me, “It’s never to late to to ask for forgiveness, and he’s always listening.”

    So, I don’t know who that guy was, or why he decided I needed to listen up, with a mashed finger, and a rip in it where the first reaction is to pull it back.
    So standing there mashed and bleeding wasn’t a good time for me.

    But maybe, just maybe, you’ll get more out of it, then I did at the time.
