    I had almost forgotten, just how much I detest, driving in snowwy conditions. Don't mind if its already on the ground but, driving in whiteout conditions, listening for the rumble strips, just sucks!!!!

    Probably the only time, other than fog, when I like the On-Guard system.

    what's the problem.

    i just spend 3 days in the snow. not once did i hear a rumble.

    the smart thing to do is always take the middle. that way if you slide. you can go either way. where as if you take one side. and you slide that way. your only 2 feet from the ditch. take the middle and you got room to get corrected.

    thing that pisses me off. is all these supertruckers who think the roads are dry.

    after spending the night in wyoming due to black ice we're spending another night in lovely beeuuutiful denver. becuase my next load doesn't take trucks after 2.

    looks like everybody is in or around WY. I had some good wind gusts today and was glad that I scaled at 79320 with 200gal of fuel. They showed 55+mph wind gusts on the overhead signs. Supposed to snow more tonight. I will definively breeth easier when I am in Portland Friday morning. I hate to miss my appointment time since they are closed for the weekend. I guess I could open an adult version of the lemonade stand and sell the 20 pallets of craft beers on the side of the road.

    49 and rain in PDX. Drive safe. Folks here have adjusted to the rain. Just fear the next sunny day. That should be around May 1st!

    every place i looked at in WY called for sunny skies. according to weatherbug on my hone. denver is calling sun also.

    i'll be taking the 70 outta here. for awhile then up the side into vernal utah. then swapping my lowes load for a cars load home.

    sitting next to me. are 3 guys in a CRST truck. that's gotta be cozy.
