Heather's Heavenly Vapes - THE BIG THREAD (Part 6)

[PapawBrett]

Yea, those idler pulleys are supposed to make it easier, but I prefer the old sliding Alternator bracket anyday.

kkay, it is Cornell and Diehl #414 Oriental Silk :
Oriental Silk is a different kind of blend made of a healthy dose of sweet Virginias wedded to some excellent Turkish tobacco and rounded out with Perique, rather than the expected Latakia. The result is rich and hearty with a nice tang.

Reminds me of a traffic sign in the center of Chicago's highway system where they all converge downtown. It's called the Circle Exchange. Gigantic sign showing you all the highways. If it wasnt for the fact that there was a 24/7/365 traffic jam in that spot you'd never have the time to figure it out. Looks like a bowl of spaghetti.

On the northern side of Atlanta's 285 loop is a junction between 85 and 285 actually known as "Spaghetti Junction". There is an ever so slight upgrade coming out of the city that positions the driver slightly beneath the junction, giving the illusion of driving into a bowl of spaghetti.

Thrilling!

As a trucker, I wish you could see a stretch of I-80 just south of Lake Michigan. It is wall to wall semis for miles. Freaking highway is 7000 lanes wide and you could walk across the highway on trailer rooftops.

I hope everyone has had a Happy Valentine’s Day. Preferably filled with love.

I’ve been super busy, but I did get to take the day off. I baked bread (in my bread machine, which is kinda cheating) and made pasta with a yummy tomato sauce from scratch.

Papaw, no wonder I like the Oriental Silk then!!! The first hit I got was perique. After I vaped it longer other flavors started to come out. Today I like it even better than yesterday. Maybe if I could age it, I'd appreciate it even more! I was going to put it up, but found myself vaping it all day today. I couldn't help myself!!!

Well sounds like you are having a delightful dinner. My son did say Happy Valentine's Day, which surprised me. He normally doesn't call on Valentine's Day. The dogs always love me. To them everyday is a Valentine's Day...lol. I clipped on Cassie's hair today. I didn't finish as usual. I did her body, but her face needs more work. I trimmed her toe nails too. I want her to look good for when my son and DIL come by. We are all going out to dinner. I feel sure my daughter will join us!

Our four-footed babies always love us! I'm glad you'll have your son there with you this weekend. And I'm sure Cassie feels gorgeous.

The bread was jalapenos and cheese bread. Spicy, rich - it could have been a meal all by itself. I had to force myself to stop eating it! Like cake. Mmmmm...

Cassie has an extra spring in her step after a new hair cut. She struts around like she is a princess. She also likes to tackle Bella and play since she has been bored to death getting her hair cut.

Jalapeno and cheese bread? Oh that sounds incredible. I love both of those, together though they are out of this world!

Head on over to Vegas, and I’ll bake you some fresh!

For some reason the top collapsed on this loaf. But the flavor was perfect! This loaf had 2 large jalapeños diced in it. Cheeses were cheddar and a wee bit of Parmesan because I’m a freak for Parm.

Good Morning Army. Last night Mamaw and I watched "Girls Trip" with Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Regina Hall and Tiffany Haddish. It was hilarious !
Bronze, I drove the Big Road for five years, and I know about the Windy. 3am is about the best time to move in that area, unless the Bulls were playing. Whenever Jordan took to the court, Traffic in that area died down. Briefly. And the Loop (284 ?) was a madhouse. The Toll Booths were the only thing keeping it from being a racetrack. Pulled many a load to/ from O'Hare.

Have a Safe and Blessed Day

Time to BK the BK : I've never driven a semi either. I have driven a few tractors that had semi-trailers (no front axles) hooked by the Kingpin.

Glad to hear that. I have the Oriental Silk and I like Perique.

That would be 294. Technically, Chicago's Loop is an area whose boundaries are defined by the elevated tracks. Everything inside was referred to as the Loop because the trains ran in a loop. But as time went by people just kind of referred to downtown Chicago as the Loop even though downtown Chicago grew larger than the Loop. The thing with I-80 is it's one of the few east coast to west coast highways and covers lots of the top half of the country. And when Lake Michigan drops down all the traffic is funneled through I-80 south of the lake. Add that Chicago is also a gigantic freight hub and it makes for some horrendous truck traffic (along with trains and airplanes).

Glad to hear that. I have the Oriental Silk and I like Perique.

How is the other half, Fran?

 

[PapawBrett]

I-80 from Gary to Chicago.
I-95 from the GW to central Connecticut.
North side of I-285 around Atlanta.
The Capitol Beltway.
I-77 from Charlotte to Statesville.
Any construction zone.

Good morning friends! Might see some sunshine here today.
