    Lol... Unfortunately the homeland security and the patriot act foiled any such plans.

    But on a serious note... If all goes well I should be in my lazy boy recliner at home a few hours BEFORE my scheduled delivery. Thats how ya play the game fellas... Dont let the game play you!

    So do I but the J is more convenient for me as that is where I can get fuel... Which is kind of important, seeing as I havent fueled since the east side of Missouri.

    Fresh filters as of the last oil change 5k mi ago. Truxk runs strong and smacks the fuel cut when Im in the throttle. The completely dead pedal is the give away it'll push 38 lbs of boost, then just drop off like a rock. Oh and it'll pull 1800+ rpm in every gear except 10th.

    Gonna call my ISX experts in the morning before they get busy.

    So comimg into SLC this morning at about midnite on I-80... Sign say "Right lane ends" which I know and I get over to the left lane. This lane then joins 2 more becoming the far right lane. Some other ####### steering wheel holder behind me obviously doesnt read well, because he didn't get into the left lane. Luckily traffic was next to non existent because he all of a sudden he decided to try and pass me on the right... About the same time his lane was ending!!!!! I noticed what he was doing just in time to do a quick lane change to the center lane and avoided a collision. Guess it's a good thing I watch my mirrors... He realized his mistake as I got over for him and he flashed his headlights once and settled in behind me after I got back up to speed and into the right lane again. But #### that was just tooooo close for comfort! If it had been in the daytime I would have had no choice except to hold my lane and let him hit me.

    Why cant people just read the #### signs!!!!! SMH

    I think most do not think reading is part of the job description.

    I saw a Weiner million mile truck surrounded by about 7 LEO's yesterday.

    It looked like he had somehow run one off the highway on I 77.

    I'm thinking his 2 million mile status might be in jeopardy.
