Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Well, an interesting day for my run from Reno to Goleta CA. Running CA lengthwise is always an unproductive day. Got down here on time at 2:00pm and what a tight little postage stamp this Moss Motors is. Nestled nicely in a residential neighborhood as well. I have pics and will load them later.

They loaded me quickly once they got round to it with a whopping 10 pallets (stacked) taking up about 10 feet in the front of the box and weighing in at 6874 lbs. I should have brought a pickup truck. ... Supposed to drop this at our Colton yard today but don't have the hours. So I'm parked on this lovely residential street in front of this place until I can roll out tonight. Suits me fine as I have no desire to face LA rush hour, especially on a Friday.

Once I hit Colton and drop this I'm to grab an MT van and scoot over to Malano for D&H at 11:00am going to Best Buy in Admore OK for a 8/16 ... 7am LUL. (I'll call them and see about a possible earlier time) That'll be the second leg of getting my truck back to VA and the shop.

Had another interesting quirk pop up on the dash today. "Volvo Link Hardware Failure. Use Paper Logs" ... ... OH ... how I wish!! LOL

BUT! What an amazingly gorgeous run down the Western coast on 101. Couldn't help but wish I was on a Harley and not in this truck so I could feel the wind and stop along the way. Just beautiful!

 

It was one of them days today that's all,just one of them days.

 

Ut oh ... I'm screwed! .... ... Always did hate Jersey, and I was born there! LOL

I remember brother. Every frightened look in his eyes ... LOL

 

LOL

Those "swales" in the ground you see there? Are so deep I had to engage the second axle for a few of the maneuvers.

 

Anyway, since it doesn't benefit me to start my clock right after my 10 tonight, Think I'll take a walk and see if I can find a path to the water. I could hit the ocean with a rock from my cab.

G'night y'all.

 

Amen to that
