    Wind was working Spokane all day. With the cloud cover, sort of made it a dreary day.

    I drive for my dad, he has 8 T800s, all have Cats, and 18 speeds. 7 have a 5th wheel, 1 is a gravel truck.
    My little sister and I have considered buying everything from dad, trucks, trailers, tools, parts, scraps, loader, the entire pile.
    If not, i alone would be open to buying 3 trucks, and 7 trailers, order myself a new truck, when it arrives pull 1 truck out of service to refurbish top to bottom, when its back on the road pull another 1, keep doing it till they are all fixed up. Several trailers need TLC also. If I go that route, I think my sister would also buy a new truck, I would contract her as power only, to pull my trailers.
    At this point on the time line of my life, all plans are as solid as biden boarding air force one though.

    It was nasty across Snoqualmie as well. Actually one of the nastier trips I've made across, and that is counting all the chains I've thrown over here.

    Saved stress, placed me on the correct side of the mountain for delivery in the morning, put me next door to Popeyes for a treat after my walking. It's not a business expense I "like", but then again I do appreciate it in areas lacking in parking close by appointments.

    looks like I5 up north will be closed over night for flooding.

    We've been getting half an inch or more of tain most every day for the past 3 weeks here. Some days were closer to an inch and a half.. Noticed the drainage ditches have finally started to flow indicating ground is getting saturated. One of the ponds nearby had come up onto the road this morning.

    Wind has been playing with the trees also.

    Yeah I do it too. When I have too. Sometimes it saves you 4 hours to do it. Which can turn into a day.
