    So far so good on the way out to Seattle. Only trouble spot is Elk Mountain in Wyoming with high winds and I only got 7k in the box. Could be sitting this weekend. Will see what conditions are in the morning before leaving CO.

    Made it to Laramie and decided to shut down, couldn't fight the wind anymore. Fought hard to keep it in my lane but arms were getting tired after little over 300 miles of 40+ mph winds from CO to WY. Will see what it looks like about 0dark thirty in the morning. Sometimes usually dies down at night. Paperwork says deliver Tuesday anyway but was trying for Monday delivery in Seattle.

    Does anyone know what the schedule is of the pump truck that empties the porta potty at the West Memphis yard? I couldn’t use it at 5am because it was slam full. I barely made it to the Loves.

    This is why I never actually sleep on the WM yard and always bobtail down to the Petro.
