I run 65 where it is 60 and stick to the limits in the towns. Absolutely never speed through Calvert or Riesle.

You could take 362 into Brookshire as well -- just catch a few miles further south on 290. It will drop you off in the exact same spot in Brookshire. It's a little nice scenery and an easier drive than 359, which drives me crazy as well.

Spending the night in Temple -- I have a field inspection up in Gatesville in the morning that I suspect is going to be a tad on the chilly side! Think I'll go soak my feet in a nice warm tub and flip through my new issue of Hemming's Muscle Machines......

After going up to 73 degrees yesterday its now in the 50's...damp and windy.
The rest of the week looks like it will be nice for the Mardi Gras parades going on.

I'll have to remember this the next time I go home. Will try it out and see how I like it.

This is me.



It was windy and didn't make it out of the 40s yesterday, today into the 50s possibly break 60, then 75 on Sunday. Then rinse and repeat come Tuesday

That must have been after you told them you have an EB

350 / 72 hrs is 4.86 miles per hour. Yup sounds about right for a V6 truck pulling a trailer

I knew either you or Jin would come back with that as soon as I made the post.

In all seriousness its rediculous. I could possibly understand 2 days max. Good thing is its only 20 bucks a day so guess I'll just bite the bullet and do it
