    Wolf, it might just be a clogged air filter.
    Both are easy to replace.

    The Weed Pilot is good, lots of food choices around. Otherwise I like to go up the road to the Klamath Rest Area, lots of trees and the river right there. No river access due to the fence, but Abby and I found a hole way down at the end so she can get some swimming in.

    Picked up a load in PA going to the ATL. 723 miles in a little over 12 hours, was a tight run. Got down close to Greer SC, was going to take a break at the TA there, little quick walk around and see a trailer tire had blown out. Onroad said take it to Greer, they weren't open yet, so bobtailed out for breakfast and came back, load rescheduled. Picking up next load nearby and going to Houston for Monday morning. Previous load offer was for me to take my mt trailer some 100 miles north then bobtail back to Decatur 100 miles and grab a tcall and go 700 loaded miles. UMM, No too much deadhead.

    Oh and terrible fuel economy last 2 loads average 5.5 MPGs. Both runs were 45k in the box. Southwestern Indiana to north Baltimore area, West Virgina killed it.Next load I81 in Virgina killed it again. Hope to do better with this next load, drop down on the 10 and lots of time so back her down to 55.
