    Bout 45 is my magic number for the hazards on the highway. This fella had his on almost as much as off. After a while nobody pays attention to it and then it becomes dangerous.

    But yeah any time I come upon slow or stopped traffic I immediately show some brake light and get the hazards on. Holler on 19 if I’ve got time, just on the off chance someone behind me might have a radio.

    So I recall at a young age riding in the Bonney wagon with two other brothers to bail dad out of jail, Sunday night on a school night. Some place around Woodhaven Mi. Truck impounded. I just recall it was for over weight. Years later Im old enough to ask why. And he says I only had a 40k in the front and a 40k in the rear. Ok thats 80k on the deck on your doubles. He says nope, double were getting a few crossmembers replaced, he had it on a 42' 3-9's City. I said still dad thats only 80k. So the truth comes out. "well there was this 40k LTL load of fire brick going to the same block the coils were, and it fit in between. Oh I see.

    I believe half the state of TX is closed due to flooding. Planned on taking side roads most the way to El Paso, but every whare ya look road closed signs. Ended up having to drop down to the big road at Eldorado. Just can't never have no fun anymore.

    @ShooterK2 things was kinda muddy today where I went. My truck was clean until this morning. Once I got west of Tulsa, it was game over. Even the two lane black top was muddy lol.

    I was not happy
