    If I wait, it will be about a week. We have more deep cold coming in and snow.

    Going to get a load to Texas and it will be cold where I am going and snow for me enroute back through Arkansas on Tuesday.

    . . .if you've never been anyplace else. . .:biggrin_2559:

    Actually, I've spent quite a bit of time in Barstow over the past thirty or so years. Going back before the truck stops were at Lenwood. I watched them build the first part of the outlet center there.

    Most everyone that I have dealt with in Barstow have been pleasant. Maybe they are trying to improve the "grody factor?":yes2557:

    I have a chain on my wallet, incase I drop it between pallets when I am tarping a load. Have a chain on my Harley. Got chains on my headache rack. Got a bag of tire chains in the side box. They live there. If it gets that bad, you will have to wait. Way it is.
