    Used to have a restaurant here that was named "The Chuckwagon".

    Closed a few years back.

    Was an "OK" place.

    Roughnecks working on an oil rig in Kilgore Texas in 1939, these workers make most of the jobs I have worked on look like a cake walk. Notice the hat and boots in the picture connecting the drill collar to an old type of drill bit. The hard hat and steel toe boots came later after safety concerns from OSHA.

    There was a time in America where money or being a celebrity did not matter. Country first!

    Don't need AC here but besides wood/pellet heat the entire house is electric, including a couple different electric heaters in different rooms. I pay $275/month year round to make up for expensive winter months.

    And we're the opposite, have to have AC, on leveling billing to make up for expensive summer cooling .

    Jeffrey, I've been seeing 11:11 again lately. Our wall clock is battery so always correct, but electricity goes out for minute or several hours often here, so often that we quit resetting the oven/coffee pot but...cool!

    I've been seeing multiple numbers myself lately. Kinda just ignore it most times cause it's happening so often. Lol. Had to look up the meaning again and came across this part that probably applies to you.

    There is an old gas station in Saginaw that still shows $1.579. Some day if I go past again I should take a picture.

    wildwest To add to this:

    Within the article snapshot i posted there's a part that says "or the imminence of a positive event."

    Maybe it's also the happening of a positive event?

    Wouldn't you know it, i saw 11:11 this am. Happened after i talked to my previous employer and friend, at about 9-9:30, for the first time in over a year.
