    Exercise. Eat right. Take care of the truck, and other business needs.

    I delay myself with a lot of things. Next thing I truly need is a generator. Researched so much that now I'm thinking I'll go with a Yamaha. But the champions are cheap and I could just toss it if it kicks the bucket and still come out ahead.


    Going to get engine work done soon. Once it's done I will keep my idle to an absolute minimum. I need this Cummins to last.
     
    Steel Dragon Thanks this.

    That's an easy question to answer as I am doing it right now. Any job in Fleet Management. I am getting a Masters in Automotive Technology Management. One class a semester and it should take four years to complete. I'm on my second year of it now.
     
    Steel Dragon Thanks this.
