    Driving a truck with just socks on.... SMH. :biggrin_25513:

    It would do a nice job of thinning the herd though.

    Mostly when the pumps freeze up. Then the stores sell out of the bottles.

    Cricky if you kill a gator and add crown royal to it's blood it's def. Tru story.. (if your not from down under, ignore this)

    We have bulk def in America. We make this in America with the help of bald eagles. No shortage of that. But its $4.00 a gallon. Ive heard we are short of the boxes, but I dont buy the boxes soo.. They comes from chairman Xi.

    Def competes with fertilizer, it has same feed stock. There is a shortage of fertilizer, globally.

    Def, fertilizer, short? Is there any other critical items we need to know? On that gator/Crown Royal production. What is the ratio?
    Gator's OK, but don't want to be excessive on the crown.

    Getting a positive balance with the OM. Got some guilt you are needing to swap out?

    There is a distillation process for used coffee. Filter out the kidney stone grit and cook it down. Be clear, not brown.
    Need same week collection for process. If short; pick up some, truck stops usually have plenty on hand.

    Today’s review on the first day out with the new horse...

    The bad.
    -No more dark cabin option. That means having to deal with those nasty bright interior lights that you can see from the moon every time a door gets opened.

    -Speed limiter in manual mode in top two gears.

    -Weird rotating buttons on steering wheel that stick out.

    -No more gauges. Dash consists almost entirely of a big screen.

    The good.

    -Power not turned down. That means it’ll do a hell of a lot better job of holding your speed in top gear without having to drop one and lock it. Also a lot faster off the line. I’m looking forward to seeing what this thing can do with a set of heavy pups on the next weekend linehaul run I get.

    -Dash screen readout includes what would formerly be about 14 gauges.

    -Seems to turn tighter.

    -Seat has built in heating and/or cooling.

    -Mirrors not quite as tall. I had a few near misses with the last truck due to gigantic mirrors.

    -Collision mitigation crapola not as sensitive. Speed limit sign reader doesn’t de-throttle the engine for one second anymore, making that easier to ignore.
