Broke Down 69...The Adventure Continues

It was. Problem was there was so much shrapnel in the oil pan and filters the possibility of more damage couldn't be discounted. After a long conference between me, my company owner and the mechanic, it was decided to err on the side of caution and just repack the block. I got a look at some of the parts removed and I can say we made the right decision.

 

About to head over and reload. 1847 miles to Minneapolis, then over to Mellen, Wisconsin for a load to Old Fort, NC. I think I'll be doing another Oregon lap after I finish this loop. Fine by me.

More later...

 

Funny, just got a text from her wanting to know when I'll be back in town. Guess she wants to get together again. Giggity!

 

Ain't no great trick.

 

What a day. Took forever to get loaded. Then got pulled in for a level 1...no hits but lost an hour...held up for another two with a wreck on 97 in the middle of nowhere. Ran out of smokes waiting on them to clear the road. Only truck stop in range was full early, so I'm stuck in a rest stop eating canned ravioli because I would rather set my head on fire with a gallon of gas and put it out with a hammer than eat another Subway sandwich. Tomorrow will be mountainous through Idaho and Montana for half the day but once it levels out I should make some pretty good time. I'll need to to make up for today.

How'd y'all make out?
