    We came down through Mammoth Springs and Evening Shade and a bunch other places I never heard of before. Interesting ride and pretty but a little squeezey in spots

    if I woulda known - meeting an OG cow mobile captain is always an honor.

    funny - I had a guy whining on the radio about staying in my lane - no shoulder guardrail 2 ‘ off the fog and 11’ wide lanes … uh how does one fit 16’ wide in 13’ off space….

    Off to Duck low overpasses in Texas tomorrow

    we were just talking about you the other day. I most certainly will - he goes where I go. May be doing some loads out of Eleanor- if we end up Out that way - steaks are on me.

    yup
    We went right through both this morning, that tight turn going south is an eye opener for sure - did about 10 mph up that hill.

    Hope the conversations was positive lol. Holler if y'all come this way sure set down with ya if I’m in town.

    Guess Thursday I’ll be delivering to Madison, Illinois close to St. Louis. Be a new run for one of my customers. Think McKeesport, Pa may be an additional run as well….

    I’ve only used the Quick Binders, it’s what I bought when I started, so haven’t used anything else, but I’ve had the same set for 11 years.

    Pros are folding handle, and the neutral position that allows you to spin the center shaft between your palms to quickly take up slack. Threaded hook shafts do not come out.

    Con would be the ball bearings getting locked up from lack of lubricant. That just comes down to my occasional laziness. I hang them on the rub rail and PB Blaster them , leave them a minute and work them out. I store them in a step box , but they are still prone to attracting moisture in there.

    I hear they’re pretty miserable. I’d considered getting the vaccine - I had chicken pox, mumps and measles as a kid. I think I got the MMR shot as a kid, but the varicella hadn’t been added to it then.

    Is shingles recurring, or a one time thing?
