    Might be ok on US30 through Medicine Bow... Around Elk Mountain... But with only 10k I would be a little nervous...

    According to the NOAA weather the winds will die down considerably after 1600 this afternoon and be pretty calm into the night.

    well, so goes life.

    The last time I was busted for DUI was nearly 20 years ago. Wasn't that much fun, cop was cool, county jail wasn't that much fun, but it wasn't awful either. They let me cut the grass around the courthouse during the day, and about 2am they woke me up and cut me loose.

    Look man, if you haven't been to jail, you haven't lived.

    That said, you shouldn't drink and drive. I don't mostly because it's wrong and people can get hurt. But also because I make my living driving, and DUI's aren't a good mix.

    Finally, Bruce Springsteen. I found Bruce around 1977, Born to Run, stolen from the chick across the hall, Cindy was her name. She was ok, but I was humpin' Teri on the other side......my first. So, Bruce is kind of a pretty good memory for me.

    So, some famous dude gets a DUI. Well, I guess it was bound to happen. Bruce always kind rolled that way anyway. The sad part will be the apology.....treatment......glory to God......blah, blah, blah....
    Bro, look, you f'k up and got busted, move on.

    "as you lock up the house, turn out the lights, and step into the night."

    Bruce will always be one of my heros. For a lot of reasons. Mostly, because I thought he spoke what I couldn't say.

    "when they said sit down, I stood up....."

    All I'm saying is you're going to need a lot more pens for the classes.

    Well we fell asleep as it was in the 40's and didn't have the bunk heater on.

    Slept as rhinoceroses, but woke up about 30 minutes ago nearly frozen to death.

    Bunk heater, like Mahones mom, make it all better now.

    Hmmmmm. It would seem Kenworth is unveiling the next generation 680. So all of you with 2021 and older 680's, are now driving outdated technology.
