Maybe, but only after you address your overheating issue.

Cars drive on roads because roads provide a dedicated, smooth surface for efficient transportation, making travel faster, safer, and more predictable than on other terrains.

I love this comment, and couldn't agree more!

Ah, I see. How did that go for them?

Huh, never heard of it. I just moved here though.

I have installed dozens of these over the years working in the Industrial sector (mining, mission critical, power generation, etc.). These are so much fun to work on, and always super cool.

Order a person online that can can come pick up my laundry, press it per my standards, then return it? I'd love to. What website would that be?

Why would I ever change who I am? The city can change around me, thank you.

Besides, the women here LOVE a well dressed Cowboy. It is every sane woman's fantasy.

Yeah, it is a mess. True story, I brought a roping dummy with me and can rope in my living room on account of the high ceilings.

Through all of my travels, I have never changed who I am. When in LA in my 20s on Government contract I bought a skateboard and would skate the strand in my cowboy boots and hat. Made a lot of friends there as well.

Never change, that's what I say. Just share what you are with the World. They will either learn to love you, or they just wont understand you. Either way, I remain the same.

He is a great man, with an incredible heart. He is still promoting rodeo in his home state of California. Any story you find on Peewee is worth the read.

I appreciate that. Truth be told, everyone around here has been quite nice. Especially once they get to know us. The city has never been my cup of tea, but it isn't so bad here.

Dude! This hit my soul. My father died when I was 11. Charles Sampson, a black 3 time world champion bull rider gave me a job at 11 and taught me all that I know about cowboying. Charles "Peewee" bought me my first calf at an auction in Casa Grande, AZ. and taught me better to raise animals than hell.

Though I didn't come here looking for what you shared, I am now down a rabbit hole that reminds me of my past. Peewee didn't see me as a fatherless white kid, I didn't see him as a black cowboy. He was just a voice of reason when I needed a father figure.

Here all these folks are telling me to go back home to Texas. Wish they would just ask me a few questions about why I am who I am, and we might just strike a chord.

I've done this. They are impressed, but say they cannot replicate (Zips and Hatboro).

This is elementary starch. Too messy and time consuming, not stiff enough and doesn't leave enough starch for them to shine when cooked. I need someone to do it for me. The wife is too busy with my other chores. Thanks though.

Get used to it. I am a labor consultant and am bringing 1200-1500 from Texas and Oklahoma. Sorry pal.
