    Hey @lovesthedrive

    I remember when I looked up your old tractor at WE, well funny story.

    I woke up almost next to mine. LOL. It was weird looking out the window and seeing it all tore up to ####. Poor thing.

    Hey what did you think of US93 coming out of Montana into Idaho when you ran it awhile back? Would you run it again? And would you do it with a dry van at 80k?

    Guy at the pipeyard called the law on us for parking on a Dirt road.
    15th street Wichita is DIRT.

    law told him nothing he could do, cargill has permission to use these streets for overflow, as long as we didn’t block gates or streets, which no one did.
    He went back huffing and puffing to his property.
    I kinda like Wichita now.

    I have run it a couple times fully loaded. The worst part is between darby and salmon . that big mtn range. It's a very long hard pull and a long descent down the other side. And twisty turns . but I see the 53 tankers with a pup running it as well so u should be good. If u take it out to sage junction scales it about 1 hour quicker than i90 to i15


    Just make sure to get fuel in missoula. Thats the last mega chains until idaho falls. And you are going to burn alot of fuel on that mountain. It is a good 20 minute pull.. Going down just watch ur trailer around the corners and keep a slow speed . couple corners going down are rated at 25mph... Once u get past the mtn range its smooth sailing

    We stopped for fuel, Friskies, and Cup-O-Soup in Rawlins.

    The OM had finished her meal and was lounging in the penthouse bunk.

    A bird landed on the hood looking for something to eat.

    I'm thinking the bird had never experienced a large Tabby pressed against the windshield looking for dessert.

    Take her out for Breakfast. D’s Cafe, on Milford Rd. All the good ham, bacon, sausage, white gravy. Used to love going there. I fit right in with that bunch of Hillbillies. Lol. Very nice family bunch.

    I’ve completed a bunch of yard work if this doesn’t improve her mood I’m standing back and throwing chocolate. Now it’s off to the shop to play with trucks and cars.
