    I'm not going to worry about him at all.

    That trip comes under the heading of a "self inflicted injury".

    Best he could hope from from me is a slap on the frost bite.........

    Just kidding.... Hope he does o.k. and doesn't loose the use of anything vital. But willing to point at him and laugh if he does.

    I was at a little truck stop in Iowa. Old school but sorta modern. It was at the top of a hill.
    It was gonna be real cold that night and the wind was blowing like crazy.
    I shut the truck off and climbed in the back. With the quilts that The Hazul had made for me and a stocking hat, I was fine.

    The next morning I woke up and it was crazy cold. I put my clothes on and cranked up my truck. It sounded like it was going to come apart. I said to myself, "Opus you got a real problem. Fuel probably froze up."

    So I grabbed my wallet and ran in the store. There was a dude behind the counter. I tossed my wallet at him and told him I'd be right back. I grabbed a bottle of Howes Emergency treatment and ran back. Poured it into my tank and in less than 2 minutes, truck was running fine.
    The Howes stuff really works.

    I need to get back to Iowa and get my wallet.

    Dad was coming into Orevada one time, I was riding, just a kid, touched the brakes and nothing! Pretty much jaked it to a stop, looks around, thru the windows, no GPS junk, sees a liquor store and goes in, buys the the cheapest hi proff whiskey they had, dumped in the air compressor took a shot and off we went. It thawed them out pretty quick.

    For some reason, my furry grandson seems to think I need an escort when I use the can.

    Last night he climbed up into the bathroom cabinet and made himself comfortable......

    We has arrived at our second (2nd) stop DEEP INSIDE THE COMMUNIST STATE.

    We has a door.

    The OM has decided we shall remain here until such a time that we are unloaded.
