    Figured out the fuel mileage over 2 storms…….. I was floored

    .6 miles per gallon . lots of hydraulic drag I guess and a ton of weight. Most of the time is in low range

    I’m sure a Cascadia would get at least 7-8 mpg doing the same job

    We have several choices this morning.

    1) Proceed to truck stop near first receiver.

    2) Drive to Casa Del OM ( add 350 miles round trip )

    3) Proceed to Laughlin for the weekend ( nothing good will come from this )

    The OM is, as of yet, undecided.

    I'd head to Laughlin, no matter what you think your cat is saying.
