    522 million dollars might make a person consider retirement.

    Good morning.

    -20 and snowing hard here. And I do mean snowing hard. World's best sister was supposed to go back to work today hauling logs, but was called at 03:00 and told they are taking another day off. Mostly to open up the road is my guess.
    Have a great day gentlemen.

    More like he was using the old heat standby. Regular gas heater on a 4 ft square of tin, 15 ' hose, upright LP tank back left corner. OK while running, trailer will leak enough O2 to burn proper properly while moving. Up IA 218 to 30, left, but stop for coffee across road. Lean over wheel, sleep, come too... Ops, check heater thu upper front vent door. Yep, no glow, got to relight.
    Out, open RH door, it sways down hill side, crawl up, stand up, drag heater back to door. (Have turned off gas first, so safe.)_
    Strike match. BIG Whoosh, pressure in face, get up from snow bank about 15feet behind trailer. OK, all gas has been unsafely vented.
    Re light, close door and roll for MM,. Now wide awake. Crated fruit,...had been the potatoes coming back, the fuzz would have caught and I would have had roasted potatoes.
    (True story, me about 1957. Tlr and old style reefer. Bunker/Blower on ice cooling. We run from Lakeland, FL to St Louis, light heat about the
    J B Bridge/Wentzville and then on to Twin Cities.)
