    I just read where the grizzly migration is starting in Idaho. Wouldn't that just suck to get out of the truck in the middle of night to take a leak and get eaten by a bear.

    I spent the night once on that highway that comes into Boise from the North. Not 95, the one that comes strait in. I slept off the side of the road at a scale in the Sawtooth Wilderness.

    I think the OM & Kitty definitely saw something cause when I woke up both were sleeping with me lmfao.

    Either 21 or 55 — just got woke up to one F of a lightning & thunder show — it was probably a coyote — Idaho Coyotes like city cats.

    South of Sublett,ID. cruising along 84, saw a pretty good sized moose standing up on a slight rise about 200 feet off the road. No rack visible, juvenile maybe. Never seen one that far south.

    City cats are the primary food source for Idaho coyotes. Just wish they would eat the feral cats on the farm....

    You came down 55 from McCall. 21 to Stanley is a mountain road, not the nice, gradual, easy drive that 55 is... ;).

    North South through Idaho has improved a lot since the upgrades at Lawyer's canyon outside of Cottonwood, White Bird grade and the improvements around Horseshoe bend, but it's still easier to go through Montana to go North/South.

    They're all the way down to the Utah border. I got mine in Swan Valley about 10 years ago, before the wolves shut that hunt down.

    Well I tried to get some mowing before the rain got here today. Started to mow a lawn and threw the PTO belts when the lower pulley lost its set screw. At least the pulley walked in and saved the key on the shaft. Time to use bolts with a point ground on the tip (digs into the shaft acting as a better set screw). Tho this time I am going to use grade 8. Grade 8 will hold the point better.

    Needed to go to town anyways to get a belt for the vacuum blower

    I have some background info that might be relevant...

    The man leading the new business strategy is John Yeros, a tech entrepreneur and former investment banker who joined the company in 2016, teaming with Damon Cuzick, a commercial real estate developer, and his father, Danny, the former owner of Freightliner of Arizona.
    Criminally insane might be more precise than someone thought.
