    yeah. I hate sitting though. This ##### weather. I just was off for a week for home time. Which I did need. Since I'd not been home since October. I was happy about this nice 1100 mile load, and looking forward to jumping on something in the morning. Most likely a load out of Laredo. But now I am stuck sitting here another day and I've been here since 1600 yesterday. So basically not earning anything for two days.

    @Wasted Thyme Just in case no one has done so.

    No new snow here today. High of -8° today, down to -24° the next two nights. But I'm home today and tomorrow, and the truck's sitting inside a warm shop. Partially makes up for a really ####ty past 10 days.

    No new snow across MT, WY, or SD. 740 miles, and the only slowdowns were the puzzles scared of a little blowing snow. It's a tad chilly here though.

    We are posted up covertly DEEP inside THE COMMUNIST STATE.

    Like 4 crashes in the 15 miles leading up to Banning. Why? Cause it's clear and dry with unlimited visibility.

    1 hour to do the 15 miles. Another 15 minutes to get through Banning.

    You did the right thing. When in doubt, don't.

    In flying, any crash you can walk away from is a good landing. If you can use the plane again, it was a fine landing... Trucking is a lot like that in collision avoidance.

    Just remember no idling or treating your fuel...........


    ........I love it. About time everyone shares in working in arctic tundra conditions.

    P.S. heat in the homestead is set on 74F. And have a standby generator all ready to fire off automatically......
