    See thats the wrong methodology for driving a company truck. If the brakes ain’t burnin’ y’all are going to slow.

    I think I need to report you to the Oregon Highway Patrol as a Clear and Present Danger to the flow of commerce along the I-5 corridor.

    I'm just waiting for some yahoo to plow into someone coming down Ashland this summer. They just started construction (repaving) on the NB side and have it down to 1 lane, unfortunately, with a lot of downhill steepness still left.

    My advice for anyone coming from California into Orygun is to run the 97 and cut over on the 58 if you're heading in that direction.

    That's going to be ugly..... I would slow down in the check area. Lock it in gear and let the Jakes glide me down. The number of people I pissed of by running near the recommended speed could unite and form their own congressional district.

    I picked up my new phone and spent a F hour at least getting it activated. Verizon is about as helpful as a bad Freightliner dealer.

    But got it up and running and the comdata app successfully installed. That's the big one.

    Do I remember my secret password from 25 months ago? How about if I drive back there, bludgeon you to death with this F phone, and then burn your office down? Oh, you are Dave, here's your password.
