    Oh I know! Our first computer a local guy built for a good $2000. Our second computer was a Gateway for probably was upwards of $1800. When we finally got internet it was the tail end of AOL 3.0 and the start of the 4.0 That was a big upgrade. 56k all the way lol.

    I just simply can not see doing this the way I do it with a $1500.00 to $2500.00 truck payment looming monthly. It would completely ruin it for me. AND you still have to deal with tires constantly. At least here in the Northeast anyway.

    Well, I won’t keep on you about it. I’ll just say my new trucks that come with the latest B stones I’m getting 250k pretty easy out of drives around 200k out of steers. That’s running the worst roads in America. (MW and NE primary)

    I just came home from Florida and boy I wish we had the roads here that they do down there. Signage sucks but roads themselves are so much smoother.

    Oh man I hear ya! I ran Connecticut yesterday and 81 and 84 are so friggin nasty man!

    And I think a lot of my tire issues over the years are from me running empty on the way home. Empty flatbeds on NE roads! Ahg!

    I really think I just need 10 new B stones like it was when I brought it home.

    But man you really HAVE to live with tire decisions in this biz.....just so costly to replace. Live and learn as usual!

    Hey don’t make fun of our signage, only 1out 0f 14 Floridians can spell them big words.

    Where you visit in the FLA?
