    I bought a baby blue one in 1990 , I really liked the way it handled , kind of like a sports car.

    Something about the blue, seriously. Ask @bzinger . Sadly, it's one color truck I've never been issued. (<<<< yep, company old guy, here, dang me.)

    Hot and busy here, too. Can't complain about the 'busy' ... hauling for Int'l Paper, being 'essential' and all. Didn't have and cash failures due to 'Covid' myself...T/G. Where you planning to 'hail from' next ?!?!?

    Best wishes, keep me posted! Good to see ya around.

    Were heading for co. I will be staying in company, with the eldest already gone and the younger about in the wind already, nothing keeping us here. Co. Will give us a base to explore the entire west side of the country. We've done everything within a days ride of here...

    Yes, but I was willing to be on it for awhile. Now that it's slowed down, they've got me doing shuttle to Plano and one stop. Then I take a steel load back. But I'm not sure i like it.

    Going from 'Cold as He** MN' to Colorado...is kind of a lateral move, hahaha! I thought you were gonna say 'Viva, Las Vegas' or something of that nature, LoL~! Ohio's got room, ya know!

    Just kidding on ya, man. I know, you like to 'keep West...' (young man.) Not me. I'm a 'central to East' kinda guy.

    Sounds pretty good to ME, tbh... but what do I know... LoL. ;) Mixed hauls are actually a 'break' in the monotony of life, IMHO.

    How 'is' Menards to deal with? As a supplier, I mean. I shop there, so I know 'that' side. I really don't know anyone that hauls for them.

    Lateral to slightly better with a giant chunk of new lands to rove around. Vegas is to hot. Don't want to live in the desert

    But yeah. Should be good.
