    Tired . Sorry was not clear . Is not an excuse to do a post trip . Your biggest indicator of problems coming is immediately after driving . In my experience . Others may know better than me . But in my experience something being hotter than should is my best check on next problem .

    So what is an excuse to do a post trip?
    Do you even need an excuse to do a post trip?

    Sorry, you still were not clear.
    Maybe proofread before hitting that post button.
