    Run your 10 yr premium, plus the $800, and compare to the gross billing. I never had dental. In early years
    was not offered by employer and I decided against it later. With some crowns (3) and a fixed partial I am still ahead of quoted premium when I elected not too. At 85 and the virus, may get out with not further expense.
    Meanwhile, others have their problems:
    A Belden Truck Stop clerk said a trucker pumped $386.51 worth of fuel into a red Peterbilt and left without paying. (Belden is where Loves-Tupelo is located.)

    I just don't have that kind of energy now. Plus I knew some key players in the supply chain. It requires a lot more focus than I have now.
    If I ever got back into it, I'd just do chicken #### little stuff. Spas, service changes, just one little service truck lol.
    Guys still call me with code, and other questions lol lol lol.

Had a friend who did that. The crain operator, union, 130k for several years, then economy goes bust like down to 25k.

    Well the eastern side of Togwotee pass was #### near total white out... I kept expecting to look in my mirrors and not be able to see the dim glow of my rookies head lights. But everytime they disappeared, they would reappear a few mins later... I think she will do just fine trucking through WY on her own.

    Oh Yeah... I #### near hit a Buffalo between Togwotee amd Jackson, WY... There were probably about 200 head in the process of trickling across the road right at dusk. I managed to get stopped, rhen I sat there for 5 mins or so waiting for a break in the procession so I could continue on. It was pretty cool to see that many all at once... Usually its on 4 or 5 that I see in a group.
