    Yeah, 1162 mile in a day and two thirds ain't bad, however, in an unsurprising twist, it was all for nothing. My reload won't be ready until tomorrow afternoon, and I'm not even sure which one of the three loads will be for me...there's at least some chance I'll be on my way back to Oregon. Of course since I found out my kids are going to be out of town for the next two weekends, it doesn't really matter. The only reason I go home is to see them.
     
    Airborne, ncmickey, Lepton1 and 4 others Thank this.

    Yeah. Well, I had a good run, showed them what I can do when I'm not battling a biblical weather scenario, now I'm going to the truck stop, eat, shower and take a nap.

    Just think how much "waiting it out" skill you acquired in the past couple of weeks though ;-)
