@atk0506@Haloblk_global I was reading on their site that day to day in-town drives maybe not as obvious but longer/faster highway speeds maybe?
My range is fine 99% of the time just when I’m towing some extra range would be nice to squeeze even a few more miles. Seems silly but if it works?
The bass drop on “Kill Me” might be one of the coolest surprise moments in a song in a very long time. #phoebebridgers#lostweekend I’ve probably listened to it 10 times already.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
@DaveMattson@cybrtrkguy Yeah. We’re usually only a couple hours max from home. Had them for our previous truck that we really needed. I’ll try it next time!
@DaveMattson@cybrtrkguy I have a 32 ft trailer that I still use weight distribution hitch; but with the better payload and air suspension, is it fine without it? that would save some time unhitching.
