Saw the guy with the wheel covers again

[cowmeat]

That's twice in a month I've pulled up next to him at the entrance to I-4, so he must live in Kathleen near me.

Love those wheel covers, although they're looking a little worse than last time I saw him.

Only one truck with them by you?

I see them often enough on my commute that I've stopped noticing.

Yeah it's still rare enough here to notice. I do see a lot of trucks with the side skirts now, though. They're the best ones to draft, other than an empty car hauler (for whatever reason).

I saw a truck with the exact same model covers on the tractor yesterday, pulling out of the business across the street. My car was parked on the street, and I got a good look at them as he pulled past.

I grabbed mower fuel yesterday at the local LOVE's travel center and saw quite a few.The truck drivers are forced to do mandatory rest periods and they're overwhelming the truck parking area now.But it's nice thing to see lots of truck aero.

I use a grass whip. No moving parts and it's completely silent. But you have an opportunity there.

We have 40-acres of commons,80-acres overall. And fire ants are a lethal threat to the toddlers out here,so we make a token attempt to reveal hazards to them.It nice to be able to see the venomous snakes too! North Texas,gotta love it!
