    Have a tiny mom and pop fuel stop, clean and a bunch of old women. 30 miles from Loves, PFJ. They will ask you to wear a mask. Im buying fuel .26 cent per gallon cheaper. Ill wear a mask for them.

    I have to deliver in Van Buren, Ar. Monday morning. Im gonna leave out tomorrow evening and run up there overnight, then my reload is 60mi out, which goes back down to the Dallas area. I'll see how crazy DOT is after that to see where I'll go after that.

    If Im asked, I can oblige someone. When Im commanded by some little idiot kid who has no respect, then we have a problem.

    The absurdity in wearing a mask to walk to a table but then its ok to take it off just boggles my mind. The blind compliance of so many people has made me absolutely disgusted with society.

    The people in the .gov are actively trying to divide the population. We're spiraling towards something real bad.

    100% agreed. I used to kind of laugh at the people early on when I'd see someone in their car, by themselves, or bicycling with a mask on. Now I find myself just getting angry at their blind allegiance to fear. There's no logic involved. AT ALL.

    I wore a mask this week because I was buffing aluminum and I still blew black snot at the end of the day.

    That's what I'm leaning towards. Especially since I found one that fits in my empty step box that I can run off my fuel tanks and would only add 200ish pounds overall.

    Watched one of those car mod shows and they installed speakers that made exhaust sounds for a Tesla. Stupid, right? Got me to thinking.

    If the power grid goes down, what good is a fully electric car? At least a hybrid will still be useful.

    Predator generator and a portable ac unit (not a window unit) is all ya need. I still haven't gotten my ac unit yet, the frugal inner me won't let me get one till next week after dropping $900 on rear brakes this weekend, lol

    I just wish these places would put a price tag on them. I'd be more inclined to shop around for one if it didn't include giving my email address out or making phone calls.

    Considered that as well. Just kinda lookin around right now seeing what all is out there. Would like to keep it low profile as possible.
