    It is. Should have been three lanes each way. I don’t miss it, especially from southern VA up to NY state.

    They didn't really have anything else. My initial pickup time was on new years day.

    Sucks to hear it. I'm not a doctor and I wouldn't presume to offer medical advice, but I will tell you that I was able to normalize my blood glucose with a five day water fast. Went from mid 200s to 90-120 range. After the fast I went to one meal a day concentrating on protein. I still eat carbs, but I limit them to well under 100 grams per day. My glucose has elevated slightly since coming off the fast, but remains under 140. I'm also losing a couple pounds a week without even trying.

    Just some food for thought...pun absolutely intended.

    Like @M22 rockcrusher said, it's beatable. When I was at Moore, my sugar was high enough that they put me on a sugar pill (not Metformin, that gives me the squirts). The doctor swore I would never be off of it, but at my 6 month check-up, I had already stopped taking it because there were times my sugar would get so low I would get the shakes (it was in the low 70's). 2 weeks after I stopped taking it(without telling the doctor), my sugar was normal. 2 weeks later, at the 6 month check-up I asked if we could try going without the meds, he said no, my sugar would spike. After he checked it in his office and it was normal, then I told him I hadn't taken any meds for 14 days, and that would be the last time we spoke. I also gave up all things white (white bread, white rice, processed sugar) along with intermittent fasting, and dropped my net carb intake to under 70 grams per day. In 6ish months I went from 245 down to 205 without any additional exercise, just eating better, and on a schedule.

    Joined team ISAAC today. The shop did the install at around 6am. Nick held a training session at 8am. Both seemed to finish at the same time. I even got an oil change during the ELD changeover.

    Can't give feedback yet. Other than it's fast. I'm young still and capable with tech. It's very straight forward. But it's not what you're used to. But if you're looking for something, it's very intuitive as to where it would be.
