   - *FIXED STATIONS: *
   The FQP Almanac is predicting *SUPER* conditions for you - near zero
   chance of rain static or lightning.  *You are Good  to GO!*


* ROAD CDX:*

   -
*MOBILES/PORTABLES:  *The FQP Almanac is predicting *GREAT* road conditions
   since the weather will be generally dry across the entire state.  Of course
   we know our Mobile Drivers will be **very* careful - safety first!*
   Refueling stops for cars/ops should be quick and easy due to pleasant
   temperatures.


   - Before you hit the road, be sure to check out the “QRQ Police

*'LUV' BUGS:*
*NX4N Road Report from last weekend (Tampa-Boca round trip):  *
*Just a very light dusting of Love Bugs along the route.  Love bug swarms
peak around 10am.  If you are having a high infestation in your area please
let us know.*

*Road Warriors, please remember to fill your windshield wiper fluid and
bring a spare bottle.  If you run out then a regular Soda will work in a
pinch but should be washed off with water.Consider a front grill protector
or spread a thin film of baby oil on your car's front facing features
(grill, roof, side mirrors, etc.) and wash off bugs asap.*


*Fun Fact:  Love Bugs are not a native species to North America and there
has been a long-held myth that University of Florida researchers invented
and released the Love Bugs in hopes of reducing the mosquito populations
(FSU Fake News? LOL).  *
*Love Bugs actually originated in South America, but gradually migrated
north (who wouldn't want to live here???).*

*Tnx and Enjoy the Party!*

*73,*
*Chris, NX4N*
