    I am no longer a fugitive of justice. I have a new Court Appointment at 9am May 1st.
    After my morning run I went to the office. My check wasn't exactly great. But I found out I would not be thrown in jail just for showing up. And it was fairly easy to get the re-set.

    So then to SDV for some docs andca crate at 833#. Then into Humble for a 30# Hazmat.
    Then took the big crate to World Trade Houston. Then took the small one to DHL.

    Then heard nothing else. Stopped at Half Price Books and got a couple Clancy I didn't have. And got home a wee bit prior to 18:30.

    Thank you Mr. Iron... I don't know where that Independence Pass is... But in any case, I do a VERY meticulous trip plan... I check my big map, check all the roads, state roads, US roads, back roads, streets, etc to make sure there are no truck restrictions, low overpasses and such. I even go to the extreme of using Google satellite view when I am in doubt whether or not trucks use them. Sometimes I compare the Navigator we have in the truck with my GPS and Google route. I don't adventure out there with the big truck without knowing the area...:biggrin_25512: My trip planning takes quite some time but it's time very well spent. :yes2557:

    Now I am at a rest area in CO, already passed that Vail place... :biggrin_2552: Tomorrow will take some US roads... But it seems the weather will be ok... You all be very safe. :biggrin_25519:
