    The guy in the Volvo extended his mirrors and front fender out while CR was passing him. I know it, I saw it! Put the video in slow motion and you'll see it too, it's an insurance scam! LOL

    seems like Crete has a customer around Tacoma in an industrial cluster, with street parking, but it's like a mile walk to the Applebee's for a beer.

    Man where in heck did all you mofo's come from up here Tacoma / Seattle????

    Or maybe cause I typically come up here in the winter when no one else wants to.

    Holy Jesus, Mary, & Joseph. What a time finding a place to park.

    All the motels with truck parking are sold out!!!!!

    Drove out to the TA and they have half the lot blocked off for resurfacing. Dudes piled up everywhere, looked like the Loves.

    So drove to my next stop, and these two girls took pity on me, and I've spent the night in their dock. Well the truck did, I went down to the 6.

    We need to cull the heard for sure. Got a level 3 yesterday too. Passed. Oddly now my prepass works in Washington lol.

    I heard a traffic report yesterday. There was an 8 mile long back up on HWY 26 heading over towards Prineville, OR. All the eclipse crazies getting an early start. Not me, man. I'm heading the opposite direction this weekend.

    Ernie's t/s in Kent has cheaper scales, and there was no wait when I had to use them.
