My wife and I got up early and went to a really good little cafe for breakfast. This place is really small and very busy.

Wasn't by chance the Knotty Pine Cafe at the Oildale exit off 99 south was it?

To die for Biscuits and Sausage Gravy. When I can, I always time my trip through Bakersfield to stop for breakfast there.

You guys have a Knotty Pine, too?

Yeah it's in Bakersfield. They are always lined up outside waiting for a table. Breakfast always served on an oval platter, a round plate is too small! :lol::lol:

I got a few Tire stories :lol:



6 months ago, I replace my 22-year-old trailer tires (Because)

They had plenty of tread but valve stems and side walls:uhmk:

Then last week,
The Steering wheel started wobbling on the Frontier.

I busted a cord in the front tire.:uhmk:
40,000 miles and plenty of tread 4+ years old

My Tire Guy got me some Fire Stones for 210 each.

There's more elbow grease into those campers than axle grease, looks like. Good for you for seeing their need and helping out like that. Their faith in humanity should be well restored for now. To be honest, it just helped mine :cool:
