    I remember how the humid cold would soak in to the bone. Cold is miserable on the Gulf Coast.
    I have wondered. Wool keeps you warm even if it's wet. I wonder how well wool will work on the Gulf Coast/Florida? Try it?

    Well both factory glad hands seem to be there on the corner above the airline box.

    But that third one... It does not compute. Did the trailer suffer a trolley side failure of that line and needed to be bypassed to get brakes unlocked maybe?

    Edit

    NVM. Its looped around that round bar. Its nothing on it. I wonder if previous driver left it there after breaking his airline.

    Sexton Pass today in Oregon. 2000’ and the temp was 75° with 25% humidity. Driving through Oregon in this kind of weather with both windows down listening to Groove Armada doesn’t suck.

    Yup. I saw him leave. And the parking lot has maybe 4-6 truck parking spots. What he was doing over there is beyond me.

    @otterinthewater Where’s Wilmington CA?

    Anywhere near your part of the world?

    Found out today a favorite movie of mine had some scenes shot at some old soap factory there. US Borax I think...

    That's not kosher. Frankly something like that needs fixing pronto. I hate to consider that our truckers are such doolies and sadsacks in flip flops unable to attend to routine owchies...

    Saw something I’ve never seen before.

    A car fire. More than one actually.

    On a car carrier. Near the Loves by the Winston exit.

    Odd.

    Was the fire anywhere near the weed burning tractor on the bottom forward at the 5th wheel perhaps?
