    Well they opened US26 around 1100 and I boogied... Wind was a little rough, but nothing like I-80. 80 is now open as well I see... But its still blowing nearly 60 mph down there. So all told I made the right call coming north. I was stuck at that rest area for 23 hour... Netting me a 13 hour total delay in getting home.

    This wind has been following us ever since billings montana. We are just outside of st louis now and it is still windy . Our tarp is taking a beating but holding up well. Looks like we got it padded up good. No tears or cuts to speak of so far. Usually crosswinds will do weird things to the tarp and tear holes in it .

    Crazy weather, they’re calling for tain around midnight here, till noon tomorrow, warming up to 55, with 45 mph winds, quits raining then temps dropping. Glad I got my doors done. Wife’s been using mine. My window didn’t work. Had to make one last trip to ACO for a stainless carriage bolt.

    I should be safe, I’m 82 miles away.
    My load goes down by Hot Springs Monday.

    I know now why I got yelled at, it seems my humor on my voicemail wasn’t appreciated, but it was for the 50 phone calls I get a day wanting to know if I want a load, some are still LS agents.

    My voicemail, when it quit ringing didn’t beep, but it went to me talking.
    So I put this in.

    “Yep...Do What..?
    Hold up, gotta turn headset back on..Now What was that..?.. Hello..?
    I bet you thought you were talking to someone, didn’t you.”

    Then you could leave your message.
    It was not appreciated.
    So now it’s Slim Whitman for the win!!

    I had an FLD that had the inverter mounted vertically on the cabinet behind the drivers seat. On the seat side of the one that the fridge goes in. Never had a bit of problem with it.
