I keep a can of foaming window cleaner and a roll of paper towels in my truck, in which the windshield washer pump doesn't work.

When I get it fixed, I will keep the reservoir filled with the orange Rain-X washer fluid. A good coating of Rain-X, or liberal use of the Rain-X washer fluid, makes it easy for the wipers to wash away bug residue.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Two things that will solve your bug problem. Can be used anywhere.




It's what I like to do, lol. Especially since I like to stop and railfan, and it ain't uncommon to have plenty of time to wait before a train gets to where I'm at.
It's all fun & games until someone summons Cthulhu and brings about the end of the world.

I also collect traffic lights, road signs, fans, and railroad crossing equipment.

Lots more work than using a squeegee, especially as I'm prone to missing spots.  Plus then it needs to be stored somewhere.  I wouldn't be sure how to store rags, and I don't like keeping liquids in my trunk because things have a tendency to tip over in there.

A cheap mop bucket is great for both the bottle of Windex and the microfiber towels shown here.

What's the freezing point of windex?

Seeing Buc-ee's is eyeing land around Phoenix.

I think Primm NV would be a great location.

How do you clean bug splatter with windshield wipers?  I find that doesn't really work, outside of extremely heavy rains.  Just makes the bug splatter smear.  I would go so far as to say that if you have significant bug splatter on your windshield, you should actually avoid using your wipers if possible until you can clean it off with a squeegee.

I run the washer fluid made to dissolve bug spatter - the green stuff, generally. I just have to be careful to only run it during the summer. That stuff freezes up just like water, and makes it damned impossible to get out if it's not cleared out by the time the weather turns to freezing.

And by Wednesday, the giant Buc-ee's billboard on EB I-70 at Fruita, CO exit 19 changed from saying:

"1079(?) MILES" to:

"291 MILES", while adding the statement, "YOU CAN HOLD IT".

I will re-verify the sign next time I pass through there And edit the above if necessary.

Now they just need their own "YOU HAD ME AT HODWY" sign so it can go viral just like the one in Texas did.

Buc-ee's might be coming to the Little Rock region in Benton (first one in Arkansas). Site will be off on Interstate 30 at Exit 114.

Probably the best location. (If they ever finish the construction there.)

Hmm... I feel like somewhere around the I-40 / I-440 / AR-440 interchange would be the most strategic location. It would allow I-30, I-40, and Future I-57 traffic to all have easy access to the location, instead of just I-30 (and I-57 if that traffic is continuing south / west on I-30).

Unless they're planning to also build one along I-40 in the future.

Coming home on Easter, I caught a Buc-ee's billboard in Wisconsin on I-41/94 of all places. 469 miles.

:) Needs more... :sombrero: Not quite... :bigass: Perfect.

Where on 41/94?

There is one north of DeForest (the proposed location) on 39/90/94.

Really doesn't phase me now that I've been in one.  Basically like a Wall Drug or South of the Border.

It was facing north for southbound traffic. Somewhere south of Oak Creek/Caledonia.

This is odd because the proposed location is at DeForest, not in the area you're in.  There is a sign there with distance to the KY location as well.

The last news about the WI location dates back to last October at the latest.

I wouldn't overthink it.  It's just a national branding thing.

If I had to choose between Bucee's and South of the Border, I would choose Bucee's every single time.
