I thought you wandered in here on your own. I didn't think anyone brought you.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Thread win!!!!
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Driving down a back road years ago I passed a BBQ joint.  I don't recall the actual name on the sign, but still love the tag  "In celebration of dead pigs."  Unfortunately, I was in one of those states that thinks two feet of gravel between the fog line and the ditch is adequate shoulder and I couldn't stop even for take out.
Gee, I'd love to see your data!

Just a quick update, I got the pig back from the butcher a week or so ago.
102# of ready to cook product.
Ended up with 6 pieces. 2 shoulders, 2 hams and the 2 rib sections with the loin attached. Gonna be some good eating 'round here soon.

That's more shoulder than most of the roads we have out here. A lot of 'em don't even HAVE a fog line; the pavement is exactly two lanes wide, and the ditch begins where the pavement ends.

I'm thinking next weekend (31st) I'll be burning some hickory unless I decide to do one this weekend.

Swap mirrors often? 

(Lots of trucks in Baja California have polished chromed plates instead of glass mirrors for a reason.  I have swapped mirrors while driving a university ton-and-a-half. :O)

Fortunately, no. It gets a bit tense when there's a wider-than-average vehicle in the oncoming lane, though.
