    Something to form an impenetrable shield around my rig, to repel flying insects, and motorists looking for a lawsuit.

    And folks looking to invent yet another gadget for a truck.

    I'd like to have a safe, clean, quiet, open parking area that would materialize at the flip of a switch.

    But speaking of gadgets, how do you guys hang your headset? I've been trying various little hooks that I can attach overhead with double stick tape, and they work just fine until I have to drive into, for example, the Flying J in St George. Then my headset ends up on the floor. I've tried hanging it over my phone holder, but then I end up with it tangled in cords.

    A filter for my cb that converts all that southern drawl to something I can understand.
