    Well I got loaded and decided to short today and get on my preferred running schedule. I like to start around 0300 or so...less traffic, easier parking. This load is headed for Chatham, VA, where I'll reload for Old Fort, NC. Probably take a day or two off and head for Oregon by way of Craigsville, WV. I really like this run and hope to stay on it for awhile. I can see how it could wear some people out, but I truly enjoy the trip. I'm getting more comfortable with the route and having seen some tough driving conditions, I think it's making a better driver out of me. Hell, I'm even getting pretty good at backing this spread axle...thought for a while that I'd never get it down.

    Well, picked up a couple new books my last trip home so I think I'll turn a few pages before conking out.

    Strippers are fun to date...just don't get attached. Don't even consider it.

    That's a ride you rent, not buy.

    I call them Ferraris. Nice to look at. Fun to play with. Way to expensive to own.

    Yea I lived with one years ago. Knew it was goingto be a wild ride so to speak
    The crash and burn was way worse than I thought it would be. Survived but was a fun time. Would I do it again. Yes but not at my age now.. told old for that lol
