BD69: The Owner Operator Chronicles

So far, so good.

 

Got into Missoula yesterday st 1100 and met my buddy over at a little Irish pub he likes that had some pretty dang good food. Ran over to his yard and spent about 3 hours talking with various people. Says something that there were so many people around on a Saturday. Got a lot of information and a bit of a feel for how they operate. Of course they offered me a job on the spot, but I told them I was committed to my current job until April, but after that I would be open to making the move. So there's a very good chance I'll be moving out this way come Spring.

Unload and reload tomorrow morning and will be on my way back home for a couple days.

More later...

 

Yes I was. I had thrown about 11k at a cylinder that kept cutting out. Replaced all I jectors, both the main and injector harnesses, several different sensors, ran the overhead and several other things and the problem just kept coming back. The only reason I entered a purchase agreement on that truck was it was overhauled right around 100k miles back. Unfortunately for me, it just seemed to be one of those trucks with gremlins nobody could sort out. Despite all that, I was still willing to buy the truck, knowing I had a fresh platinum kit rebuilt 3406e available to me at home for a great price. Couldn't work the deal out on the truck but I do have that engine in a crate at my shop back home. Thinking about using it on a new glider in a year or so.

 

Yep.

Love the new avatar.

 

Brad is Brad. No sense in getting to worked up over it.
