    And my litany of woe continues....so they get me to a Nationalease affiliate where they find there is more damage than I first thought. Bother ends the yoke and u joints were toast, so more work but they said I would get out on Friday. Erm, not quite...evidently someone forgot to order the second yoke so Tuesday....but not all lost yet....they put me into a lease truck so at least I can keep moving. That is until I go through Memphis and some numpty decided that he would rather like to exit the highway from the middle lane cut right across me and brake...luckily alive to that prospect (it was Memphis after all) I jam on my brakes resulting in him living another day but me flay spotting a couple of trailer tires...so here I sit at Little Rock Petro now for the papast 4 hours while they slowly go about their business.....Always Look on the Bright Side of Life as the Pythons would say!!!

    I'm in my third of the year. No luck with trucks so far this year. I'm now on a black T700, an old Xtreme truck. So far, so good. The first one I had from March to January. The second only like 2 weeks. I'm hoping to hold out at least till spring when the new ones come in. Just picked up a Garmin dash cam tonight. when I finally put this truck together, I'm gonna hook up that dash cam. Or try. I'm not real good with technology. My satellite radio doesn't work at night and my gps has a tendency to make it up as we go along. The trucks and what I put in them hate me and are trying to kill me, I swear.

    I am all thumbs when it comes to electronics and to my dismay I keep buying more gadgets. Isn't that called insanity when you do the same thing over and over and hope for a better outcome. :biggrin_25512:

    You may need a memory card. GoPro doesn't include one, Dieselboss does. 32 gig class 10 can be had for $15-$20 on Amazon

    I don't think this does either. I'll stop and buy one.
