    I might really customize Casper this winter.

    Things are just too hot right now. Wait until like February, and really do it up lol.

    A brilliant question. You must be very creative to answer this one.
    Since Oklahoma City is in the State of Oklahoma.
    What County must Oklahoma City be in?
    Remember to be creative! :cool:

    Haven't you figured out yet that humans aren't very creative? Heck most of the names for places were brought over from the old world.

    I really don’t know? I do know that any used is a risk. It could be a trouble truck. I do know that 2005 or around that time. It wasn’t good for trucks. All kinds of smog and forced derating. We had a 2009 and it wasn’t good. I remember the dealer telling us at about 2012: The average new OTR truck was spending 1 to 2 months in the shop in the first year. So be very weary of used.

    Since getting an A1C of 6.7. I haven’t been testing my glucose much. The other day I didn’t feel good after eating. I rationalized I somehow ate some sugar. Or too much? So I waited four hours and tested. Came up 82! Gee I’m doing something right.
    I really should focus seriously on this more. Dr Bernstein says anybody can get it to “normal”. Which is something like 4.2? Might be 4.8? I need to check. My recent reading encourages me to try.
    Maybe it will get me a two year physical card?

    My windshield started leaking. But it don’t leak when I’m driving.
    So now I tell the boss. My windshield is leaking. I gotta drive so it don’t leak. Don’t matter if it ain’t raining. I gotta run!
