    They threw extreme tornado warning for White County all the way to Lonoke including little Rock metro.

    I can hear the sirens from that direction. The one we are watching is approaching from roughly NW of Mayflower valley I-40 between Conway and Little Rock more or less towards Lonoke in due time. If the #### thing turns NE like it does which it may not this time it will be us that has to deal with it.

    Sort of. Have a refrigerator and microwave. Make a lot of mains at home, so only heating them. Veggies get steamed/cooked in microwave as well.

    Had one of the “lunch box” cooking things for years. They work OK, but slow. You can make a number of things in one. I discovered it can cook rice and pasta.
    You can also make scrambled eggs.

    Then stop eating truck stop food.

    Put your eld in PC, drop your trailer and go wherever you want to get food.

    There's no way in hell I'd have survived out here this long without getting food from decent restaurants.

    Also, if you've got a fridge/freezer, remember every truck stop, fuel stop, gas station has a microwave. I got spaghetti for lunch today, ate half then warmed up the 2nd half for dinner earlier and got a crispy chicken sammich go with it from Carl's Jr

    I think thats enough of the tornado terror. It spun out above the jacksonville airbase and became a good sized surface windfield as that particular cell collapsed.

    Memphis and greenville are next up. Nashville later towards morning.

    It doesn't "rain" on the WIIS thread.

    A small crock. Thats a crock. lol.

    What you need is a big slow crock with a 3 inch strap over the whole thing as it cooks for 5 hours and something tile underneath to stop your cabinets from melting. Or your floor from burning through. One strap to bolt it to the pax seat (If it does not have airride) and another for the lid on the floor and a tile underneath.

    Throw whatever you like into it plug it in and slow cook it as you drive. it will take a long time. The key is some form of liquid with the food. Without it all you are doing is dehydrating it.

    Just post pictures. Please.

    I don't have a crock pot for the truck. I would want one with a locking lid. My truck is cluttered. I have a couple at home. I just did chilli. Tomorrow I'm going to do split pea soup.

    Actually I think that cat is in processing mode. Some cats will just sit there exactly like that ears forward and stare until ALL of the input accumulated and held in buffer is mentally sorted and disposed of. =) it would not be the time to go pet and love on it. Essentially a computer currently undergoing maintaince upstairs he he.
