    That's why one of my most giant peeves are the people that are afraid of the snow, but get on the highway.

    They go crawling, crawling, crawling along. I'm blowing my stack thinking "Are you waiting for those F flashing yellow lights to come on?"

    All these guys with big nuts, big hammer, big tires, pass me and Casper like we're tied to a tree. Then the snow flies, me and Casper still trucking along, and them big nuts shrivel up like chick peas.

    I'm at my normal haunts for a 10, at the TA on the west end of town.

    Had a fun run today, ran to Tulsa to pick up a load that delivered a mile north of the TA. Two pump assemblies destined to get installed on frack pumps. 18000 lbs each. I like hauling big pieces like that.

    I got food poisoning at that one once. When it had the "chop house". Oh was I sick.
    That's when JBH had their terminal down the street.

    Fish Friday over here.

    Ok. 865 miles into the trip back home and there is no snow. No Bigfoot, although @Lepton1 is on the other side of town.

    Temp was 38F to 56F, nice for most of the day, then clouded up and rained through Oklahoma.

    When the temperature dropped into the high 40s I was afraid, very afraid, because what if it dropped another 15 degrees?

    Why didn’t you keep going and stop in Amarillo and go to the steakhouse?

    44 minutes left driving. Fuel for me here is $2.43 also.
    I really wanted spaghetti, but I guess I'll have fish.
