    Button on the end of the drive select stalk. Push in the button for manual, "M" will appear on the dash. Push in on the stalk for downshift, and pull back for upshift. Pull straight down up to 3 notches for engine brake.

    At least that's how it works on the new T680.

    So just got home... Boss asked when I want to go out again... I thought about telling him "When temps sustain 40+ for three days"... But said Thursday.

    Now my wife brings up the weather report... Crappy in the west Wed-Fri... Crappy in the Mid-West Fri-weekend...

    So I guess I get a whole week of crappy weather next run... Lucky me.

    0230 rain turned to heavy snow in Flag. Little America has spaces, some evacuating while they can. Covered the lot very quickly, minutes.

    Guess I picked the wrong time to stock up on beach umbrellas.

    I was talking to a dude that got a new 680. KW gives you 3 free parameter changes on the ECM. I'll bet yours was in factory default / gimp mode.

    Tanker truck with 3500 gallons of heated chocolate rolled east of Flag. They showed the wrecker driver emptying it into a culvert.

    Lots of snow forecasted for today.

    Ground squirrels and bears will be dying of obesity for the next few years in that area.
