    Camped in a door waiting to be loaded. Beautiful day here in Kennewick. One of my buddies is gonna try to make the move over here in about a month. I am not missing short hauling around in the East one bit.

    Parked at a mom & pop ts in Bliss, Idaho. 517.6 today. Right at 1300 miles to go. I was 33800 on my drives and 33800 on my tandems and that was with only half tanks. So I will be fueling at 50 gallon at a time. I scaled at the Finley ts in Kennewick and it had me at 33000 on drives and 33900 on tandems. But when I went across the weigh station scales entering Oregon by the river it showed 33500 on drives and 34120 on tandems. Fortunately they didn't stop me. I went right on over to the Pilot at Stanfield and Cat scaled it and the Oregon scales were correct so the Finley scales are unreliable. After adjusting to 33800 on both I didn't take on fuel there. I was supposed to fill up. I had already intended to Cat scale before fueling even before the Oregon scales readout.
