    Needs a pair of curly-bottomed 10-foot Wilsons on it. Oh yeah, and naked lady mudflaps.

    Sure, no problem. 10 gallons of shellac oughta get 'er done.
    Best wishes to the new o/o. Good to hear about your mileage increase. Did it cut down on the smoke ?

    The smoke was a direct result of the Howes. It was clearing gunk out of the injectors and that was causing the smoke. Now she idles and runs much smoother.

    Back at the yard. Fuel mileage came in at 7.79. Now other than working her hard on the hills, I still kept it at 63 to make milage, but curiosity is getting to me so next load I'm going to run it hard just to see where it lands. Looks like I'm going to Russelville, Arkansas, but that's not set in stone yet.

    More later...
