Where is everyone #5

Some time back a buddy got all of his outside tires stolen when he was sleeping in it and I was in my truck next to him. Also stole his breathers. My truck was untouched not 20ft away. That was in Houston. Guys cut the chain link fence to get in. People suck.

That's how this nation works. Just take it from someone else. Between outright theft, the govt and all the folks who don't work. Starting to think it's not worth it anymore.

 

Yup, that's what we had again last night, -26..

 

I know a guy that had that same issue years ago, what a freakin headache.

 

Yeah, I'm not terribly thrilled about it. Sitting here now. Waiting for them to open their doors. The last time they took it out, there was a wad of metal on my drain plug. They called the mfg and they said that was ok.....lol. so..we'll see. Chasing a repeated issue sucks though.

 

Worse than El Paso? Man they're slipping. We don't seem to have that theft problem as bad here in the north woods. Why, no criminals? No, they're here alright, but one they're too lazy, two it's too cold, and three they get virtually everything here from the welfare state for free, no need to steal or work for it..

Hmmm….

 

Welp, all this Texas talk has me think'n twice..

A neighbor of mine is a broker, & asked me yesterday to take some "farmer equipment" down to Edinburg, TX. Looks to be roughly 10-15miles to Mexico..

I looked at the 70° weather & was really think'n about it.. Now not so much after all this thievery talk. But that's partly why I like driving a pile of a truck. My thought was the poor boy freightshaker look might keep the riffraff at bay.. I don't know...

 

I tried to help everyone that's in the cold with a little climate change yesterday and fired up the old Cummins for it's monthly run.
The virtue signal isn't working and it's stuck on "Huge Carbon Footprint"

 

I don't goto El paso enough to really compare......thank goodness. 2 out of three is good enough for me......lol. I wish I didn't have to goto Texas period, but that's not in the cards. I could just plain ol do without....lemme tell ya.
