    That's the first time I've seen barrels on the dock. Several times, I've seen pallets of bottles, even had them on my trailer, but that was a new one for me.

    Update on tint. Momma Bear wins so I am doing 50% in the front sides, 15% in the back sides and rear, and 15% brow. Don't really understand her letting me do 15 for rear stuff but only 50 for front sides. Oh well. So I am doing everything besides the windshield. I'm curious how big of a difference not having the windshield tinted and everything else tinted to having just having everything tinted makes in heat rejection. Guy also called today confirming everything saying he is going to get everything cut tonight so hes ready for Friday. I am dropping the truck off tomorrow after work and he will just keep it in his shop overnight and get going to work right in the morning. I got the truck washed before tomorrow so it doesn't look like a total dusty mess for the guy. Will update with a before and after Thursday for y'all

    I've seen where people do an 80 on the windshield, technically not legal in WI, but not obvious enough to get hassled over. That supposedly helps a lot.

    So, I bought a bike from Pat, next morning my water heater is leaking. This morning, I find out I need a new A/C compressor in the truck. Good thing we're working a lot of O/T.

    To help with keeping the truck cool when parked, face the truck north or east so the sun doesn't hit the windshield.

    Well, I suppose it's about time I take advantage of my topper. Going to go spend the night in an area that the gates were recently opened so people can drive in again.

    No way would I tint the windshield. I took a rock yesterday and will be getting a replacement. Had the windshield replaced in May, too.:annoyed:Tint would have lasted me 3 months.
