    Fog??? It’s a heat wave! Gonna be #### near 50 degrees where I’m heading Tuesday.

    A lot better than -20. I think I’m just gonna do dirt work all summer and take winters off next year, screw this. 70 hours a week all summer, collect unemployment in the winter and cook for cash. Sounds good to me...

    Had a white out once up in MN, when we first started running GPS on a laptop back in 1999. I realized it was possible to keep that black dot between the two thick lines denoting the edge of our interstate on our side of the road. As we passed under a overpass things got interesting.

    Then we started thinking what if someone was stopped in front of us? We would kill them. SO that's enough of that.

    Not quite. GPS has led us into certain situations, several of which I have shared on here in the past.

    God gave you a GPS, the brain in your head. That's the best one.

    Here in Arkansas we don't fog up unless there is fixing to be a outbreak (Tornadoes) or we just had a set of storms roll through. One or the other.
