    Be careful up there. Not so sure the SeaTac area is a good place to be anymore.....

    20 stops would make them quit the first day. Me? Right up my alley.

    Nothing I have is worth my life, except my wife and my Lab. Outside of those two, this poop is not worth me becoming another Reginald Denny. I’ll be going up across SD, into MT and across. I’ll be amongst the Native Americans most of the time.

    Whelp. Made it up to the yard. Not really feeling it, though. If it weren’t for hubby making me get moving this morning, I’d still be at home. Got here and looked at my truck. How in the frick do the mechanics get the inside and outside so dang nasty? Both pair of my gloves are soaking wet. From what? Who the heck knows. It looks like it hasn’t seen a wash in a year. I hate our shop. I really do. I know it’s an old Mack, but dang. I take at least a little pride in my ride, old or not. Makes me want to punch them in the face. Did I say that out loud? Yes, my tolerance for BS and stupidity is at an all time low right now. I just want to turn around and go home.

    AND GUESS WHAT???? Not even 15 miles up the road——I AM BROKE DOWN. RADIATOR FLUID ALL OVER THE PLACE. That’s our lovely mechanical shop for ya. And yes, I did a very thorough pre trip on the dang thing. It’s hotter than a hoochie coochie out, too.
