    I had a B-1 buzz me while driving from Dallas to Quanah, TX. I was headed to the G-P gypsum plant. Amarillo? That's a long drive even when not pulling a trailer.

    Just curious, why didn't you lay it down on the trailer?

    Two of the vertical posts hold the fluid so I didn't want to deal with a big spill.

    I was told it came from a TX aerospace company and I don't see any makers marks.

    Pro tip... don't try and pull into a car wash to clean it up "real quick". Sometimes those little arms with the height restriction, that hang over the payment kiosk, are wrong.
