    Should we get a Whataburger?

    Never been a real big Whataburger fan, but there's one not far.

    We have to drive tonight, so I'm leaning toward the super carb heavy Mexican food. It will over carb us and cause us to pass out.

    18 " piece of 1" x 6" oak. Cut V notch in one end, to encompass size of boot heel area.
    Nail 6" long piece of 2" by 2" hickory stove wood crossways ;1" below notch, toward long end.
    For appearances; with the device lying on floor with block on lower side, scribe a line from
    2" below block on right hand side down to within 2 inches of left side end. cut out inscribed portion.
    Toss to floor, stand one foot on device, jam bootheel into V notch, jerk foot out.
    Swap feet and reverse action. Boots off. It is called a "Boot Jack" by ole folks.

    Best thing to do is have it tested. Maybe have the bottled water tested also. Well water might be better. Biggest problem is fertilizer from the Lawn Maniacs. I’ve heard Lawns are rare in AZ. The well I had was 100 ft. deep, through a lot of rock and sand. It was almost pure. Less fertilizer ppm than the Local city water had. It did have a lot of iron and calcium. Had to get a softener. PITA always adding salt. Should have bought one that doesn’t use salt. Smart Water, I think it’s called. Sold at Sears. I think the hard water gave my Wife Kidney stones. No way to know for sure. Just my theory. Makes Me suspect of the water at any Truckstop or Restaurant anywhere.

    Attachment 371961 is a rockin piece of luxury. Drove one of them back when. 400 Cat,13 double over, 333 gears. She would get over the road. Straight pipes chromed all over. Guy who owned the Truck had paid cash for it at the time. I think He told me He paid hundred thousand. Can. dollars for it. Met the Salesman who did the deal, told me over Dinner one evening that was the first time He ever sold a Truck that the Driver counted Him out the cash.
