    Well.......left out @ 10 AM Monday, home @ 3:30 Friday morning, 2,541 miles, good enough.

    Now I'm home alone with a bottle of wine, waiting on my laundry, so how about some pictures?

    Somebody was talking about having the air & electric @ the rear of the frame. Here's how I did mine on my Cascadia. I have never liked having the air line connectors sticking out so I recessed them into the rear crossmember. It worked out well. Cscadia air hookups.JPG

    Was it Tug Toy that posted a pic of his beautiful floor? Here's the one I just did. This is about the end of the project. I had the whole kitchen ripped out to the studs, all new plumbing, redid the electric, did the sheetrock, built the cabinets, I'm about ready to move out and stick a tenant in here.

    If the darned bike wasn't in the way you could see the beautiful finsh work I did on this other place several years ago. I put in wainscotting, smooth walled the sheetrock above it, scraped off the popcorn on the ceiling and sprayed a knock-down texture on it. then I made all my own stacked trim profiles with my router table. It came out awesome, then I had to sell it.

    I never know what to do around Atlanta! Seems no matter what day or time of day I always end up sitting there. I know how to go around up here in my neighborhood. This morning caught me snoozing! I should have checked traffic before I left.

    Yes sir, that's the one. I got out the gate and that's where I'm hiding for the night.

    I seen that once you posted the loaded picture. Just don't spread it and go back to Cali, they have our number with those trailers and they'll give you a piece of paper with a large number at the bottom. Then if you can't get your weight legal once you close it you get to dial the Drew number and have another truck come get some freight.

    The pic is from Facebook. I don’t know the guy but he said he was driving it when it happened. Seward Highway.

    Sure don’t look good but he said he’s alright.
