    I'm at the Ambest in Burns. Finished yesterday, on the flip side back to the midwest now.

    I had 3 hours 50 minutes left for today. Get 7 back tomorrow.

    Got here last night about 1800, so just 34, boogie out early tomorrow with a new 70.

    Place is no frills, but they have a decent diner and lounge.

    Retired trucker tip: After a snowstorm keep an eye out for truck chains laying in the road. It's a goldmine out there I tell ya. :)

    Yep. Retail in the truck stop about $75 EACH.

    A smart man can repair a broken rail.

    My newest member was just commenting on this phenomenon lol.

    He chained up twice last week, and was commenting on the chains laying around.

    I told him, "Just wait for the thaw. You could outfit several trucks."

    Every time I see one on the side of the road, I wonder what happens if one of those snow blowers picks one up......:eek:

    Most of the time they won’t put a guard rail where they get a lot of snow because they can’t plow it over the side guard rail gets in the way!

    Just stopped at Gordy's. I hope that waitress isn't here. She's as friendly as a Tazmanian devil.
