    Trooper say stay out of the left lane from 3-6am, that's when the greatest # of wrong way drivers - drive the wrong way.
    WWDrivers stay in the "right lane" so they won't attract cops - but of course it's really your left lane, not their right lane

    Drove the truck to Harbor Freight to pick up some 1/4" metric sockets, extensions and a ratchet.
    All they had were the sockets. So instead I bought a cheap set of screw drivers to keep in the truck (once I get me a tool bag) and a small rubber hammer for work.

    I also added a small wire so my steering wheel controls light up. I now know why the wire goes straight to ground. The lights aren't too bright, I guess so they aren't distracting when you're driving and there is no need to dim them.

    I drove mine to harbor freight for a sander & paper for some house projects. Filled the gas tank @ BJs while I was there. $3.899 for cheap stuff.

    Fun Fact. Apparently last time I put gas in the RV was 5/1/2021. $2.759/gallon.
    I'm going to have to pay that some attention. Been over a year, not so good.

    I also got gas before heading there, $4.03 a gallon. I'm going to see if i can grab some tools from work or see if the other HF has what I need in stock.

    Edit, checked their website and the only store that has it is close to an hour away. Hopefully sales is at the dealership today so I can pop in.

    There's two cheap gas stations not far from my house. One is a no name brand (brand new so you know the tanks are clean), and the other is real busy, sometimes the line is out to the street (pre and post pandemic).

    Cheapest I've seen was a Mobile on River Road in Stratford across from Sikorsky. He was 3.79 on Friday.

    Odd. Mobil is one of the more expensive ones around here although the prices are now closer to other stations.

    Hello all! If anyone needs/ wants to get their truck sprayed with Woolwax, I plan on working on my vehicles and my friends on Saturday 9/3 in Southington. I just ordered a 5 gallon pail of Woolwax.
