    I got a 10.

    I guessed right on the bacon mileage, and I knew about that disaster stuff because several Dayton area Waffle Houses were affected by the Memorial Day tornadoes two years ago.

    The Waffle House near the terminal was on the "no water" menu.

    Now if you want to talk biscuits, then we need to discuss Biscuitville.

    I got a 5 and have only been there once some 14 years ago.

    Tractor update.
    The seat isnt fully bolted on. The holes are stripped on the casting. So the bolts wont tighten. Now to get a helicoil kit and do more repairs.

    In the image below you can see why I want the fenders to stick out more. The fenders arent over the wheels as much as they could be.

    And last but not least. Some bright nimrod in the past used house wiring on the tractor instead of a multistrand wire. All motor vehicles or anything with an engine has multistrand wire. Solid wire doesnt flex and will break making for wiring nightmares. So if you pretrip a truck and find solid house wire being used, FAIL THE INSPECTION!

    Same score, and a couple I got correct were absolute guesses.

    Then again looks like Fort Collins is the closest location to me at 1246 miles, unless I try I90 then it's 1395 miles...... which would make the one in Goodyear, AZ the closer at 1320 miles taking us95 south from Reno.

    Guessing there will not be a Sasquatch special any time soon......

    We're having taco salad.

    Which is kind of like Waffle Haus, only different.
