    Obie’s is good. Don’t get by as often as did before.
    The lot out back used to have a few holes a small car could be buried in.

    The place in Clovis sounds familiar. May have been to it before. In Clovis all the time, have to recheck that.

    In Montana, there is a place called Wheat Montana.
    3 locations, Missoula, in Muralts truck stop, Great Falls and the main location in Three forks. Truck parking available in Three forks location and across the highway from a pilot retailer. Good food, fresh baked bread.

    Honestly I go to Cook's in Clovis whenever I'm down that way for one meal. Their chicken enchiladas with unlimited chips (they call them tostada's) and their home made salsa. The place is usually full up with locals more so than truckers, so you know the food is pretty good. Haven't been there since covid started. It's all home style food and run by a bunch of women who are all related. They do a good job.

    Nah, it wasn't too bad really. It was in the 20 degree range and sniw was dry, so traction was good... Visibility was the major factor that really forced me to slow down.

    US 26 in Wyoming... Togwotee Pass.

    Burrito area is open, as is the deli. Missing the cafe since it's about 10 miles from the homestead and one of the better places around.

    Hes building a new one... He calls it Marble Machine X. I watch his YouTube videos. His original machine that made him famous didnt function well enough to even make it through a single song without breaking down. His goal for his new machine is to be able to play 10,000 notes with only 1 or less marble failures.

    This is the video of his first machine that went viral and made him famous... It is actually filmed over a 60 day period and edited together to appear as a single play through of the song.



    And here is a video that shows hus new machine that he has been building for 3 years. Its still not completed... As can bee seen by the foam that is catching the marbkes in this video. It is now much closer to completion, but this was one of Very few videos that show it playing music.

    Never was a fan of the burrito bar. Yeah, I miss the cafe too. Not all, but a lot of the food is pretty good. Is Ramblin Jacks Rib Eye open yet in Napavine? Going to be up there this week. Is any sit down dining open in WA at all?

    Omar's at the TTT was on there, and R Place in Morris, Il. The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo is not a truck stop. Seeing as how this was on MSN, you have to take it with a grain of salt. They don't get too much of the rest of their reporting right either.
