    I saw temp of 108* in the middle of the parking lot at Wood River, NE Pilot... Low 90s running down the road.

    My wife lit a fire at the home 20 tonight... I think I would rather have the cold over the hot.


    Ive never seen barriers set up between lanes when they do construction like that in Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, or Nebraska... Just cones and lots of reflective posts.

    And its been like That for about a month... But the #### snow keeps shutting them down.

    I do understand. Vent all you need. And too fast for conditions has nada to do with posted speed limit. Got a ticket in my younger years for doing 25 in a 45 but that was too fast for conditions... conditions being a broken fireplug flooding the shoulder (more the cop didn't like my loud exhaust)

    The white hairs that can't see over the steering wheel meandering into town are the ones that get to me. But there is a season for them between the 20th and the end of month. Just like there is tourist season.

    Have been considering this Uniden Radio.
    Has good reviews. Just not interested in paying for something like a Stryker for SSB.
    Think it is on sale at peelots right now.

    You definitely need out of the truck and some R&R if you're at that point.

    Dump the one on the left into the one on the right... Add boiling water. 15-20 mins and enjoy.

    Much better that cold soup or veggies from a can.

    good idea

    I would get those big ramen bowls. And add some dehydrated vegies (broccoli, peas, carrots.... that friends dehydrated for me) and a can of Chicken then put some hot water on it. Makes for a good chicken noodle soup.

    We're low on cat treats. I fear what may happen if I don't come across a Walmart or grocery store soon.

    Well it's 35 here in Why-Oh-Ming.

    Again the brochure made no mention of freezing to death in the middle of June.

    I’ve got the 880 version. I like it. Then again I don’t know #### about CB’s.
