    Truck 2 had a new house built last year near Tampa. I'll ask if he has well. Pretty sure he's on city.

    PHX is on an old flood plane on the western edge of the Rockies with a couple of big rivers running through it. Western edge of the state is the Colorado river.

    Figure that city is sitting on top of a saucer of rock that trapped the sediment flow from the mountains and the water keeps the saucer full but below the soil.

    Been there, no extra effort goes unappreciated these days.

    Should we get a Whataburger?

    Never been a real big Whataburger fan, but there's one not far.

    We have to drive tonight, so I'm leaning toward the super carb heavy Mexican food. It will over carb us and cause us to pass out.

    18 " piece of 1" x 6" oak. Cut V notch in one end, to encompass size of boot heel area.
    Nail 6" long piece of 2" by 2" hickory stove wood crossways ;1" below notch, toward long end.
    For appearances; with the device lying on floor with block on lower side, scribe a line from
    2" below block on right hand side down to within 2 inches of left side end. cut out inscribed portion.
    Toss to floor, stand one foot on device, jam bootheel into V notch, jerk foot out.
    Swap feet and reverse action. Boots off. It is called a "Boot Jack" by ole folks.
