    I know what you mean, and understand the frustration. For those that have never drove a castrated truck, it may be hard to understand how trying it can be moving a heavy load through hills.

    Of course, some of them are just inconsiderate and oblivious to the world around them. Like the guy going up a grade at 30 & ½ mph trying to pass a truck doing 30 & ⅓ mph. Yes, he's a moron. Unfortunately, nothing any of us can do about it.

    Said he don't have time. I now know how a abandoned puppy feels. Covered wagon camp is smaller without him.

    Good times, and a great family.

    I hear you, we talk from time to time, trying to get him back on here. I may have to take a run down there...

    I picked up a lucrative contract hauling O/S sheds with this C70 (5&2), goes real good downhill, uphill too if you can keep the spring wound up...

    Oh man, that is just too cool!

    My little motor only knows how to go down hill. Put any weight on the wagon and she falls on her nose. We're the truck in the right lane getting laughed at by all the real trucks.

    LOL, I'm right there with you. At my age (60) both truck & me are slow going, but we're both still in pretty good shape overall. I'll find out next month if I still qualify for my 2 year card, hope so anyway...

    I can tell him through the windshield

    how much of a moron I think he is

    won’t do much besides help me feel better before I blow his doors off. Sometimes that’s enough

    That is certainly one thing I dislike about having lots of mountains around.

    Dinguses and their uphill elephant races.

    "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to another addition of the I-5 Hillclimb Truck Races. In the left lane we have Dale Dipschitt Junior and in the right lane, Jack McGherkin. Who will win the race to the top while holding up traffic and creating a cluster ####?! Will it be Dale? Will it be Jack?"

    Been raining most of the day..... supposed to rain most of the week. We need the rain but we took the week off to enjoy ourselves and celebrate us staying hitched thirty four years today.

    Guess I'll work on building a wetbar for the lake she's been wanting me to get done.
