    Between having to get more parts, new tools and getting my truck fixed I did not have the time to get everything done before I got the call to put it in the wind we are running again.

    Good thing I have a partner that can finish it up while I bring in some money. And a good one to start with $4.10 a mile for 820 miles.

    The precast is over for me as of today. Delivered the last load feels good to be done with it.

    The spot just under th 80k lettering looked chalky just like that to the right. This is from the oils drying out of the plastic. This is such an easy fix your teenager could do it. Wipe t he loose dust and dirt off then wipe it down with an oil based paint thinner. I use penetrol and t he photo is 36 hours after I wiped it down.

    I put my DOT numbers on in the wind, so it kind of does the wave. But I'm sure people see the Colorado plates and think I put them on at 4:20.
