    Sounds like trouble. Worth a second glance at 2:00 in the afternoon or 2:00 in the morning? Asking for a friend.

    The bad weather has kept the montana dot at bay. Even know that one feller likes to park in missoula just past the 96 exit going west and pull trucks over into the jump scale... I went by him on the frontage road today and gave him a wave. I couldnt see his face but im sure he was not pleased at all... But that is fine... Because i am pleased and avoided inspection for another day... On a load to boise. Stopped at this new truck stop in huntington oregon , right at the scale house on i84 just west of ontario. Never seen this place before . i guess they just built it. Only about 300 acres of parking and hot food inside. Cant complain. They really needed a truck stop in this area.

    Also if any of you fellers are running thru missoula going west . Get off at exit 96 , take a right, go past the pete dealership about half a mile and then turn left on the frenchtown frontage road. It takes you down about 6 miles then hop back on the interstate. Dont let that dot officer pull you over. He sits just past that exit over the hill...hes always there every morning about 7-10am for a couple weeks at a time... Its the biggest racket in town..

    I was hoping to find a stash of cash in the extra chimney clean out.

    They are clay bricks not cement, and from Mutual Materials. Which is just up the road in Olympia. Still too far to justify paying for the rental of a truck that can haul a full skid or 2.

    Don't need a true wholesale quantity, just enough to lay down a walkway between the shop (current living space) out toward where the door will be on the house when it gets built.

    Path will be the divider between the drive/parking area and the landscaped area.

    I love flies. I know flies inside and out. They live with me in my truck all summer. When it gets cold, they must go into hibernation.

    At 50°, you'll start seeing flies reanimate. Not much energy, but they'll do a slow walk across yer dash.

    At 51°, they will start doing lazy, slow flying around for short distances, or trying to crawl into yer ears.

    At 52°, they're ALIVE. Flying and zipping around.

    On a day when its cold out, I like to screw with them. Window down, cold inside. No sign of flies.

    Roll up the window, hit the heater, and 5 minutes later they're zipping around.

    Crack the window, and zzzzip, one at a time, they get sucked out into the cold, cruel world. Maybe I'll get rid of all of them by Thanksgiving. No more spiders either.

    A man's gotta have a hobby, I guess.

    A trucker and a fly. Its an interesting relationship. I had 1 in my truck over the summer that lived in there for what seemed like a month. Not sure what he was eating or drinking. Maybe munching off my cheetos and drinking my mountain dew. No wonder he could fly so fast . he was hopped up on the dew.

    You missed an important observation.....

    Flies like still air. If you want the flies to leave you alone set a fan blowing on you..........
