    What grit sand paper do you use? The aluminum on this truck is bad. Almost white, no shine at all to it.

    36 to 600 grit. Mine was pretty pitied. If it’s just white, get after it with the green or yellow buff?

    I'm slowly making my way to this new way of trucking I have found here. I used to work for five loads a week. Now I'm happy with two. Took three weeks off during the year last year, more to come this year once I put the boat in the water for the season. I will make more time to be on the boat and less in the truck. But up here the weather can suck and I do like my job and where I work so don't hold me to it.

    Back in Omaha, fed washed and tired. I'm going to crash now, get up early tomorrow and attack my wheels first thing. Going to pull it into a nice warm shop and spend the morning making my girl gleam. Then I'll figure out something interesting to do with the rest of the day that has nothing whatsoever to do with the truck or trucking.

    Hope all y'all are having a great weekend.

    More later...

    That is a proper way to take photos of a work scene.
    One should keep alcoholic beverages out of site.
    It’s for insurance purposes.



    Not really, you keep it out of site so people don’t comment on your choice of beer.
