    The second attempt has cleared the burner and we have ignition!!!!!

    The smell of burnt hair and dust permeates the truck, but baby we have heat!!!!!!!!!

    BRING ON THE WINTER!!!!!!

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
    HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

    Is it just a coincidence the first blizzard of the year, and I'm headed right for it?

    Life is so much better when you're not freezing in your truck. And even better when you don't have to idle.

    Ho Hum that's Truckin'

    After driving all day
    In wide open spaces
    The truck stop I'm in
    Has no parking places

    As I look to my left
    And then to my right
    I can't find a spot
    To sleep in tonight

    Once more I'll go round
    I'm dying of thirst
    I'm hungry and tired
    And wish I'd been first

    I love when I dont have to leave the house before dawn to deliver, but its hard on my kid because he stands at the window and watches me leave and then cries his eyes out. Personally I think its because he misses the big truck being in the driveway lol.

    The bunk heater in my old cascadia , the first light of the year it always smelled like pure diesel fuel, one time it started blowing smoke out of it . the price of staying warm i tell ya. Glad i dont have to deal with that truck no more lol

    I would just do something silly like fire it up with the windows down and good weather out around Labor Day.

    It was one of my attempts at forethought and planning.
