    Feb 24 marks exactly 5 years ago I originally leased my truck and eventually bought it. Went through separation and divorce and lost virtually everything in my life. A few personal things in storage and a cell phone bill back taxes my exwife owed and child support. Just about lost all hope there for a while but making a strong come-back in life.

    .....what others said and people may not know how much dang time it takes to be one man and one truck! Tons of hours on paperwork, computers, phones, maintenance stops, tarping, etc....driving is the "easy" part! dyno.jpg dyno.jpg Waved.jpg dyno.jpg Waved.jpg IMG_1363.JPG

    Had that truck on I-77 at Edens Fork exit just over a month ago didn't ya? You stopped at the gas station before you got back on the big road.

    Being truly independent is just that, you decode when to have your coffee. You decide where you go. You chose being an independent, being independent did not choose you.
