    Since Dale brought up my instrument panel, let's look at the DH mpg, and cost to DH.

    20200712_190935.jpg

    SO

    10.4 mpg to DH over here. And that's spending 25 minutes in the wtf crawling construction zone.

    SO

    Cost of DH is $39.53 Fuel / DEF / 10 cents a mile wear and tear.

    Load pick up tomorrow should net about $1700ish deliver WED morning.

    I think we should ask the esteemed members if it's worth $39.53 to make $1700.

    The OM says yes.

    I keep praising this little portable swamp cooler I got. But geesh! It's 92 outside. It's 82 inside and very comfortable. Partially because of our dry environment. It's making me and everything wet. .... evaporation.
    I already ranted on the electric bill.
    I was hesitant to get a small swamp cooler. I lived in the desert. I'm happy I got this one.
