    Yep, Ol' Scooter was right, in Klamath, just wore down to a nub. Busted tail and bent regs to the point of breaking to get here yesterday only to be told they wouldn't be able to reload me until this morning. Parked, showered and ate my 6528th Subway sandwich, then fell out for 14 hours. Awake now to a little rain and 50 mph winds. Going to make the untarp/tarp portion of this job a little aggravating but that's open deck for you.

    Truck ran pretty good getting here. A little down on power I think, but no issues to speak of. Guys did a really impressive job of getting the old girl up and running so quick.

    About to head over to get this thing done and find out exactly where the next leg of this trip goes


    More later...

    well look at it this way, you got there, the load is delivered. Now you get a short break to get back into the swing of things.

    I really despise subway products. sometimes you just gotta go with what you have.

    On the power thing, it is going to take some miles for everything to seat and settle. The last one took about 25K miles for the full benefits to come around.

    Don't baby the motor. Drive it like you stole it. Watch oil consumption, it might take some in the seating of the rings

    I agree. A few good long hard pulls when you head east again will probably do it good.
