    The national weather lickers keep saying we are in a brutal wind chill that will be "colder than January". Nope not happening thankfully. It will be colder than normal. Yet our day time highs are rebounding to mid forties (seasonable temps). We have had a dusting of the white stuff. It looks like a crumb cake outside. Rain for the afternoon. Thursday will be the end of the freaky cold air.

    We were down to 6 last night. Supposed to hit 57 today.
    Good ole Black Hills.
    I remember one morning in Custer. Woke up to 30 below zero. Next morning, woke up to 30 above zero. :)

    Well I had just gotten the potatoes, onions, bell peppers all chopped, and was just turning on the burner, igniter clicking, dude calls, come now.

    So now I'm being loaded again at the convention center.

    Just great.

    Well the house is on the way out. Gotta grab The OM & Kitty.

    Might have enough time to cook it to go.

    This is where the SouperSleeper would have been a good thing. Could have been making breakfast while they loaded the trailer.


    Also, with the larger space, the management team would have a bit more room, then they could get some exercise in, not that anyone is saying they might have a small weight condition.

    It would be difficult to justify an extra $100K for 40 inches more of sleeper.

    There's no way in hell I'd get a 280+ into many of the places I go as well.

    Truck 4 is ready. I may take it.

    Has the newer TriPac, a bigger inverter, and a double bunk.

    Yep that's why I went with standard size sleeper easier to maneuver. Besides I only sleep in it twice a week. I went with EPU going to see how good they work fingers crossed
