    ....think....

    Someone bumped me while I was sitting in that ts
    Felt a tug but just thought it was the engine sputtter. Two small cracks and a scuff mark on right side. Headlight works so not worrying about it.

    Glad to be out of Illinois....finally.

    Grand rapids is home for the night.

    Speedway slushies are 80 cents. Deal!
    Love speedways...

    Couple hundred miles north of Paul. Montana on I-90. Wind is brutal. 40 mph plus out of West north west. Can't believe I'm saying this, but glad it's a head wind. Wish it was a rail wind. Would be ugly if crosswind. I think I'd give up with the higher gusts.
    Tomorrow is not going to be better, according to forecast worse. 70 mph gusts out of west. And I eventually have to turn north.
    May end up shutting down for some thing I can't see.
    I'd rather snow, at least I can see and work with that.
    Wind and light load, just to can't predict that.
    Going to find me somebody empty going west to follow about a half mile behind. Then if they blow over, I can stop.
    2014 not starting off very profitable.

    Best to report it, don't want it turning around on you.
    That's where a dashcam becomes a good investment. Shows what happened, and maybe catch the culprit.
    I just let mine record constantly.

    Well forecast was unfortunately right.
    was hoping to wake up and find everything had calmed down. Only 270 miles to go.
    100 miles of brutal wind.
    Not sure at what point exactly it'll take to toss a trailer over. But when it gets in the 50s, i quit looking in the mirror and put a 2 hand death grip on the wheel. 70 mph. I think I'll wait. Unfortunately that wait might be till Wednesday.
    I hate the wind.

    Danged wind would just blow it away.
    I'd say Wyoming is the worst with clearing roads in winter.
    You'd think with all the mines, there'd be a ny product or slurry they could put down to melt the ice.
