    Innocently accepted Colorado load thinking it would be pleasant in June. But no....65 mph gusts sitting in Limon flying j and wondering if I'm gonna tip over. Deja vu y'all.

    Oh yes, and snow in the mountains. Big fun.

    I think it's this same storm that they're saying is going to merge with the tropical storm that just came ashore in Louisiana and cause problems in the Great Lakes region over the next few days.

    It was 38 degrees and some freezing rain in Reno
    Yesterday.
    To go along with the high winds.
    Don't know where it came from but it's gone today,
    Heading east I suppose.

    Colorado always sucks.
    The only good stretch of highway in the whole
    State is I-70 going east from limon.

    Rain stopped. Still blowing like heck. My delivery was reset for morning. In between gusts I can probably get to the showers but better not wear a hat.
