An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

I challenge myself to see how far under my paid miles I can get...I call it a gratuity...

 

That's a lota fuel...

 

Once you get thru all the redlights leaving town, and past the 2 lane desert no passing zone, there is a stretch where you are cruising right along a range of snow capped mountains for miles, and there are a handful of small towns, but mostly open road.

 

Made it all the way to Pendleton for the night, 70ish miles from my delivery. Taking the back roads and bypassing all the city traffic made a huge difference. I will actually deliver right on schedule. Hopefully the consignee is as fast as the shipper.

Had a quirk with the truck this morning. Left the truck stop, went to just crack the windows and get some natural air conditioning, and neither window would roll down. All the way to Winnamucca, they didn't work. Shut the truck off while I fueled and then parked for a shower, and they worked just fine after I restarted it.
