What a crummy day for these parts? Managed to crawl all the was up to 61 for a high with more or less a solid overcast - occasional few raindrops and 15-20mph wind all day.
That was me when I was still driving. Big Red Quad Cab with the hitch sticking out also helped to keep cars from parking too close to the back bumper. Before I had the hitch, I would drop the tailgate on the hood of a few cars that would park inches off my bumper. Any hood damage was of their own making.After three accidents in my first year here from holding my lane, I finally decided to do what everybody else here does, said "F everybody else", and simply drive in the left lane. Having a very large pickup truck with a trailer hitch sticking out the back tends to minimize tailgaters.

Traffic volume(I lived in South Jersey for 42 years) is the primary reason why I did my long road trips(500-1000+ miles) during the overnight hours.

on 40 between RT 95 and Wilmington. That road is peppered with "slower traffic, move right" signs.
Joe- one time, when MOH was driving the truck & someone pulled out right in front of her, she legitimately said “Seriously? How do you not see me? BFRT!!”. And, yes, North Jersey(& Philly) traffic never ceases, day or night. That’s why anytime I would go to New England, I would go up to NW Jersey & pickup 84 by Pt Jervis.Mike: I hear you...But in Central and North Jersey, the high volume traffic never ends, even overnight. I sometimes miss my morning commutes on the Parkway, then realize, i may no longer be up to it. Nights do have their hazards too, like deer, fog, road construction/maintenance and impaired drivers
Terry: For sure.I notice the difference while driving the sedan vs the pickup. people around here pull out in front of you pretending you don't exist, when you are driving a car, but think twice when they see the truck.
I cook them all on the grill as well. Ain't nothing wrong with them. Well, for me the fish has to come out of the salt-water ocean, not some lake in a farmer's field!I get to eat, pork, fish and chicken
You've not seen modern Canadian girls recently? Actually I agree for the most part, but if I am placing a blond figure inside a building behind glass, it actually works better for me to use yellow. Otherwise I use Polly Scale "Catwhisker Yellow", which is closer to a "dirty blond" color.never ever paint a blond with yellow hair,
Technically there is no connection being a toll road and the speed limit of 85 mph on Tx-130. It's built about 15-20 miles away from and parallel to IH35 through Austin. It happens to be 130 miles long and allows drivers to avoid the total traffic mess in Austin and surrounding areas. To me a better option would be to charge a toll on IH35 and let people drive for free on the toll road. It would increase revenue and decrease congestion.We don't even need toll roads in Utah.
How did I miss the naked man on a motorcycle?! I love motorcycles .I agree! I suppose if someone can post a photo of a naked man on a motorcycle, pretty well anything goes.
Hope you have a great time,me I would be nervous of being in a plane with recycled air.....but then I am a total cowardGood morning Crew. We just buckled up and are heading to Austin where we will spend the night with the son. Flight tomorrow is not yet 100% locked in.
Willie, except in sub-zero weather the grill on the deck in the choice to cook with. We have a grill on the oven but it’s not the same as a REAL grill to me. Unfortunately it is propane.
Turning off the phone per the flight staff announcement.
be safe

JAZ - I used to tell the passengers that there was nothing to fear:Hope you have a great time,me I would be nervous of being in a plane with recycled air.....but then I am a total coward

I get away with it here because everybody in the right lane is going under the speed limit. I drive at the local “nudge, nudge, wink, wink” speed, which is technically “faster”. For those that don’t know, here locally that is 9mph+...I'm surprised you get away with it. My experience driving in NC is that they do enforce left lane traffic laws. I've witnessed it myself driving on 40 between RT 95 and Wilmington. That road is peppered with "slower traffic, move right" signs. I wish they had them here.
I also got my legitimate licence at 18 one month within being allowed to take my test,I did accidentally gab the examiners knee instead of the steering stick but he had his knee touching the stick,not my fault honest injun,my dad used to let me drive his VWs beetle,and variant when on fields on camping holidays,in the beetle he would let me put my right foot on the break and change gears, whilst he was driving as a kid I loved it as an adult I would never have trusted my own kids,one IMR my dad got his beetle and tent trailer in the mud he got me to drive because my mum never got better than kangaroo petrol (fast slow fast slow) he pushed the trailer I did exactly as told we got out of the mud but my dad fell in face first.....my mum could not keep a straight face and we were all in giggles on the drive home, happy days, my kids got to drive a ride on lawnmower backwards faster than forwards even with a trailer, I drive a Kabuto mx110 on the odd occasion but usually the other half drives it,we are no till, and I can guess any farmers are saying why the tractor? well it moves a pallet and upto one and a half tonne,we have a cherry picker - worth it weight earned it’s purchase,a bucket a rin1 bucket a log grabber a pallet fork all have had good use.I got my license at 14 in Texas before they changed the law in '67 or so.
In my experience, it doesn't matter what time of day you go through, RV or not. That's why I gladly pay the $4 or so toll to go around and get off in San Marcos (well before the other end) when we visit my son in San Antonio. Our truck drivers at work, used to tell me that it was like that even at 2 in the morning! They always paid out of their own pocket to go around when making the San Antonio run. Their "pay" computer paid them on the mileage thru Austin, and even though TX-130 was longer, it was faster and they didn't mind giving up the extra pay and the toll because they returned a day earlier and therefore could make another trip sooner. Anyone on the Austin run had no choice.WILLIE, GEETEE, HUGHIE, and others.
I have a cousin who lives very near downtown Austin that the Spousal Unit and I visited about three years back?
Never again will I go near that place! We were in the RV and spent 2 hours trying to go about 2 miles! In Austin's defence, I will admit that it was right at 4 PM.
I can’t believe you have elephants on your layout Jazz, that’s a first for me here....lol
