    I added another 5,000,000+ BTUs to the atmosphere today, so get a slushie and thank me.

    In 5 more days, I'll start thinking about the ice and snow coming soon. Always start thinking bout that on the longest day of the year.

    You should rig a harness/holder for the OM ... perhaps he'd oblige?!? ;)

    Wife showed me this last night on one of her 'entertainment' sites; I said, gee that kinda looks like Dave's OM!

    Hudson Mi. For the night currently 62 degrees going down to 52 no one is idling (there is only 1 other truck) the children’s doom is delayed. People of the southwest can brag all they want for 2 months a year but the Great Lakes rock 9 months a year. This is another reason Wisconsin beats Pennsylvania. Wisconsin’s only flaw is that it’s the home of big orange.

    Another on the infinite list of reasons ARIZONA is the most awesomest is the ARIZONA Divide is 7338 feet.

    The Continental Divide on 40 in LOSER STATE new mexico is only 7225 feet.

    Do any of THE COMMUNIST STATES have a Divide???????? NO. ( drops the mic )

    U mean the system that slams the break in every situation that is most certainly not an emergency...

    For example cruising along having a great peaceful day, singing along on the song to a radio or having a laugh at a funny podcast , when all of a sudden you are smashing your face thru the windshield because the AEB thought a reflection off of something from outer space was a stopped car in front of you and decided you needed a blind date with the windshield at 70mph. I hate all the new technology crap they put on the new trucks

    We drove through a Haboob today on 40 like MM 270ish.

    I hope I never find out at what wind velocity the truck becomes an aircraft.

    Just imagine standing in about a 40 to 50 MPH wind, and someone pouring dirt in front of you.

    It actually blew a layer of silt through the door jams. We could smell dirt. Was like the Wizard of Oz.

    Sticks, LOTS OF DIRT, plants, WTF tumbleweeds, all sideways from the passenger side. Like twenty feet, f who knows maybe a lot more, up in the air.

    Truck was seriously shaking. Was down to about 30mph. Visibility was maybe 100 feet.

    The OM was not pleased.

    Whole thing was maybe 10 or 15 miles.
