Imagine 20,000 pounds of Starship steel hurtling down a steep Missouri hillside, when all of a sudden, a huge explosion comes from the back of the Starship! What the %#&^ happened you ask? Well, thats the sound of picking up a piece of space junk and puncturing a rear tire!
To the rescue comes Donnie from Smitty's who for a mere 100 bucks removes the limp donut and puts on the spare. Damn lucky actually, the same event on a front steer tire would prolly have had a much different ending!
Fuel continues to drop, here is 2.39 at the Kum & Go (picture included to show you I did not make that up!) Later I saw a lower price of 2.30. Please explain how it can be .49 a gallon difference between Michigan and Oklahoma? Thats way more than transport cost and is $34 bucks difference on a fillup in the Starship.
Speaking of strange names and customs, here in Oklahoma they fish differently, specifically it is called hand fishing and involves sticking your hand in a hole in the riverbank and having a huge catfish bite you at which time you drag him to the surface.
Here is a You tube video showing chicks do it with gloves:
Thats hollywood, in reality for generations, Okie Noodling has been done by crazed Okies without gloves using hands and feet to catch them!!!! This is what it looks like when the locals do it! Amazing!
I took a different path this time and am at Arrowhead state park in Oklahoma. It is on a huge lake named Eufaula and a nice spot indeed. Tomorrow I go to Texas to the Roy Ranch to visit my Texas buddies! Take care!
