    Ya, I would take that back as described... use as many lanes as you need to thread that needle. If you get a bad set up or get frustrated just circle the block and take another swing at it.

    Don't worry about the cars and try not to hit anything and you will be fine...

    and Get Out And Look

    Report back to us how you nailed it in the first try.

    Ask for help blocking traffic or at least looking out and being able to warn you. Either someone from the receiver or another driver if there is one.

    That's this week... I was talking the prior two weeks of this current pay... several low mileage days that I listed last week I think.

    But maybe you are right... the trip to ND was nice even though coming back had some issues.

    At Dealership having the phantom engine fault code identified and hopefully fixed so the truck will Regen correctly.

    Then head to Markham...

    Just to clarify, that pay period included thanksgiving weekend but the miles coming out after wasn't so great either.

    But maybe you are right about turning a corner.

    Well, they just received approval to repair my truck... so hopefully I will be rolling again this afternoon.

    Third times charm in getting this engine fault light addressed... glad it will be fixed.

    On the positive side, it allowed me to miss the Winter Storm while I sit on the north side of it as it passed through the area... :)
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    If the building was already up that's half the battle. I got to a place with only three walls up. Had to take it somewhere else obviously.
     
    Redtwin and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.
