    That fellow that dresses like a school boy is going to get a brain injury from shaking his head. Then again he may already have with the need to wear outdated clothing.

    Yup if I were still turning miles that is what I probably would have done as well. Road salt is horrible on vehicles. These days the road crews are using less sand and more salt.

    Yup that was really good @Cattleman84
    I really enjoyed that this morning.

    Well we didnt get any tain last night. Yet we do have a heavy dense fog. At least anything near the trees will get some water. Trees act like filters and will pull the water out of fog making a tain shower where they stand.

    I hate the way that cars and trucks are made using both SAE and Metric fasteners. They should be required to use one or the other. Not both.
    Though these days some tool makers are solving that problem.

    I got back to Phoenix Saturday. I usually count any day in town as a home day, even if we work all day. Today is Tuesday, and everything is actually squared away. Going to do yard work. Good load scheduled for later in the week.

    That ten flew by.

    I ate good food. My wife stocked the fridge in the truck. Did laundry, and watched a movie. 0300 came early. Sitting at the shipper waiting on them. Dave snagged me a really good load and I’ve got more then enough time to deliver.

    Yep

    Drives me insane. Wrenching on my 2003 Chevrolet the other day and it’s all metric now, but why do they need a 12mm and a 13mm head bolt ? Make everything a 15 mm head and be done with it .

    My old 94 Ranger had that 2.3 English Capri motor in it.

    That truck took every tool you had in your box to work on it. Sae, metrics torx allens every extension and swivel you could muster.

    Absolutely dreaded wrenching on that thing

    Looking forward to wrenching on my old International where you can actually see what bolt your turning .
