    What a day! Started out with me calling around to find a trailer axle end cap( it must've got cracked somehow as it was leaking oil ) in Miles City at 8am. Got the part dropped to me in the parking lot and fitted it myself . Saved the company( its their trailer) the labor charge at least. 10 hours driving later in Pocatello and I'm on the phone trying to find parts or service to get my fan clutch rebuilt the fan was wobbling like crazy, turns out that the bearing was shot. Ended up finding an after hours guy who would meet me at his shop and if he had the parts( he was sure he did, and turns out he was right) fix it for me. I helped him best I could and we got in done in less than 2 hours. So I came to McCammon in idaho and got me 2 King Cans of Buddwieser and called it a long and painfull day! Oh also I'm parked next to a KW w900 with truck number 139. This is a big deal as I have a KW w900 with the number 139 as well.... What are the chances of that hey???!!!!

    Sounds like a photo-op. Better take a few pics of both trucks parked side by side. Don't know what the odds of that happening again.

    Well Pete, that depends on how many docks they have? If only one, and you were the last one there, might be a 6 hr wait...

    Rocks,
    These are also commonly called water fountains

    Today I moved truck once again to another corner in the back of this strip mall... notice, this is not a strip club mall... :biggrin_2559: So, I am away from all vehicles, all traffic. It's very quiet and nice back here. Listening to my portable radio. Radio is on top of steering wheel.

    Had a tasteful lunch that I cooked yesterday and now relaxing on my comfortable bed. Pulled my fabric curtain down... The design on this fabric depicts the famous Copacabana beach sidewalk in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

    Have been in this mall since last Friday afternoon and may stay here till Tuesday morning. I guess most people would not like to stay in a truck at the same location for this long, right? Right Pete?
    But I'm thankful it doesn't bother me. I just wish I could go to other nice places nearby.... Walk on the beach... There's one not very far from here.... I went there one time and spent all day... This is a picture I took back then...

    Took long walks on the beach... saw this cute teddy bear on a tree... this picture is for you Teddy_bear :biggrin_25519:
