    Uh, it ain't downhill all the way, there is a good sized pull about 50 miles north of Phoenix... I know cause I pulled it one day heavy at like 10 mph and 110 degrees

    Think my fuel gauge may be broken. Oh I remember now, I'm Home! Explains the wife & kids. No movement of any fluids for the past three days. Dad's 16 hour sleep! Face down after three months. It was ugly, but had to be done. Love the Family, then do it again.
