    Finance is driving this bus. If they can finance it, a sucker will be found, this you can be sure of.

    Been using a Bi pap since before 2011. Started at 7 lb. got to 12 on C pap. Put me on Bi pap (21 in, 17 out). Had some problem last year and new sleep test.
    Stopped breathing twice, some sort of other complication causing "restless leg syndrome". RX for it and increased to 23 in, 18 out. Leg stays still I guess, as I go to sleep now and wake up 8 hours later and it is still there. My first test was so bad on stopping breathing they wondered how I survived.
    Say what you or anyone else may say. Sleep apnea is serious. Get a test if it is indicated.
    AND I NEVER WAS SLEEPY OR TIRED LIKE SLEEP DEPRIVED,
    JUST WHEN LAY DOWN, WOULD STOP BREATHING, AND AT TIMES WIFE WOULD PUNCH ME TO WAKE AND TELL ME I HAD STOPPED.

    I think this is why such a hyper focus on sleep disorders in trucking. Companies are tired of finding dead guys in the sleeper of their rigs.

    Any idea how deep to drill there (or at your place) to get adequate supply. Here in N MS we go 250 to 350 of pipe and a 20 foot drop below the sucker.

    Oh no. You want a casa to go with that you're looking in the mid 600's.

    Yes, it’s all relevant. Here we have some fluctuations when layoffs hit the auto plants. Like someone flipped a switch. We were the poster child of foreclosures 12 yrs ago. All the assembly factories moved out here in the 70’s. Layoffs in manufacturing means very high unemployment. 17% for the State, most job losses being around here in early 80s and again in 09. With the back orders, doesn’t look like it’ll happen again for a while. My areas the epitome of spoiled Blue Collar kids. Along with they’re somewhat rude entitled Parents. Lot of decent folks, but many are just living large on a Union wage, spending every dime and then some. Kids driving new Challengers and Chargers still living at home. For a while, after 09, we were one of the most affordable places in the Country to live. Strange how the coasts get overheated first, and other markets drop, but not as drastic, because they didn’t go up as drastically. We didn’t go up that drastically, but the massive layoffs especially affected the foreclosures. Houses selling for 1/3 as much as the high. It took 10 yrs to come back to those prices, just as predicted. I can’t believe this housing market is a real market, despite inflation. Interest rates are still low. Somethings got to give. Too many are priced out of the market already. That’s the turning point. It will be interesting to see. Who knows? At this point. Did I say Crazy times ?? Lol.

    Thanks, Please do . Serious...
    Lighter... If you were drilling in the fork of old US80 and I8 at Casa Grande, you would probably use all the casing in
    Houston and strike water in the bay at Hong Kong. Looks dry around there. You do notice all the cactus there have their arms held upward, like in prayer maybe?

    But then we would be neighbors... Or close enough to were you would hear me bellowing about the heat and lack of trees from where ever you were hiding.


    Can almost get a "livable" mobile on a quarter acre up here for that.....
