We are now suffering in the heat in Houston. Our APU can barely keep up. We will have to run the main engine once in a while. We delivered in San Antonio. We did have a run from College Station to New Mexico but that got gone. :( Now we are stuck here for now. Hope not for long.

I have a car I bought down in Houston, transport just picked it up today...didn't realize it was that hot down there

We usually went to the J just on the east side of town...but some go to exit 1 on the west side....ElPaso within the limits some things are taxed at 15%:eek:....as to 7%...especially if you get a room...

if you go east J and against the wall..watch for them fire ants!!

the girl I remember that bit up pretty bad when JuJu and were down there..the ants crawled up the tires and thru the firewall...I carry a can of OFF and spray the tires when I park...seems to work....

the water from the AC seems to attract them and the T's...

I've been sitting here outside of Detroit since Tuesday. This is really starting to suck. It beats being stuck down in the hear at least.
