    I contemplated filling up again in Houston. I don’t have enough fuel to get out of Texas from here. But l don’t think it will be a problem. Only parts of Houston were dark.

    I’d say buy another gps. To be a top notch modern day Driver, you really need a total of 3. All mounted up on the windshield. No need to look at the actual road that way. Maybe some black Driving gloves. Keeps fingernails clean. Chicks dig that.

    Let Me guess, You’re trying to remember the last time you ordered Calamari appetizers. Let it be the last time. It’s true.

    That's crazy. I do wonder how bad the water breaks are. Is it just the homes or the water mains. Diesel is up. I paid $3 in Illinois, granted $0.70 was ifta, give or take. I'm in Georgia it will be $2.35 at some point.

    A chain wallet would really accessorize my ensemble. Maybe I can find the gloves with fingers cut off so I can look like biker.

    Get a good pair of leather chaps, too. That will make the outfit.

    It’s both, from what I gather. Mains along with a frozen grid, affected certain areas. Others with water had broken pipes in houses. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t leave water running at a trickle, or just shut the water off. I shut my main off in basement. Laundry tub faucets open. Pipe is wrapped with heat cord between Main valve and floor. I’ve had the furnace igniter go bad twice and blower once, while gone. First time, water leaked from upstairs into basement, broken pipe. Didn’t matter since I had it gutted out. But since then, twice I’ve avoided it happening again. A main sewer drain check valve is on my wish list. Along with a hydro operated back up sump pump. A smart thermostat, I can control while away would be nice. And a camera/ security system, I can view from the road would be nice.

    Those are the coolest looking ones. But fingernails get dirty wearing those. Chain wallets good as a decoy. Keeping everything in front pockets. On a serious note, always carry your money in both front pockets. If ever robbed at gunpoint, give the crackhead the small amount, he’ll grab it and run off. Keeping the large amount for yourself.

    Don’t forget a Truckstop purse for your wife. The cool looking ones with metal studs and turquoise, all bedazzled up. She’ll love it. Matching hat. They call that accessorizing. The choices are endless. Ear rings, bracelets, all available at the Truckstop.
