What problem? Well, you cain't get there from here is what the problem is. I delivered on the nw side of houston this mornin. No load leaving yet, so I needed a place to park. The closest truckstop of any size is on the east side of town. No problem says I, I'll just bop on over and get me some lunch. Except, well you cain't get there from here. See I headed east since the 610 loop was east, took a 4 lane road. Got almost to 610 when the road was closed for an accident. No problem, I just turned right since I10 was south and away I go. Now I'm headed SE on a 4 lane, perfect since 610 is east and 10 is south I'll eventually hit one or the other. Except that when I get to 610 the ramps are closed due to construction. I can see the cars up there, but you cain't get there. But I'm still headed se, so I'll hit 10 eventually. Except you cain't get there from here. The road kinda just ends, giving me 2 options, east or west. Ok, 610 is west and 10 is south, so I chose west. A mile later there it is, 610 north and south, and something about toll 10 west. I don't want to go west and don't have a way to pay the toll anyway. Hhhhmmm, well, I haven't crossed 10 yet so 610s it is. Except the ramp to 10 east is closed for construction. The "you gotta be kidding" sigh was epic at that point. Oh well, 610 is a loop and even tho the south loop is the long way, I don't have anything else to do so off I go. Other that traffic backups at 59, 69, and 45, at 1:30 on a wed. afternoon, the trip was pretty uneventful, well except that the whole "you cain't get there from here" thing wasn't done with me. I need exit 789 off 10, but of course, it's closed for construction. So it's onward to exit 790, which allows me to use one of those really neat texas u-turns, I always like when I can use one of those. And since it's only a mile, I'll just stay on the access road, well except you cain't get there from here. See, there is a railroad accross the access road, several tracks worth. You can see the road across the tracks, you just cain't get there from here. So it's back under the freeway, back east to the exit, back around the texas u-turn, then on the freeway for a mile to my exit. I did get to the truckstop that time. Only took 70 minutes to go what should have been less than 30 miles. Lol guess it's a good thing I had nowhere else to be.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
