    I'm at the Loves in Edna, Tx. It was 79 when I parked. Temp has dropped about 15 degrees in 20 minutes. Supposed to be 36 when I roll out early AM. Was 3 degrees in Ohio when I woke up Friday morning. I'm about over this winter. Log is in shambles thanks to the learning curve I'm on with elogs, on the bright side the past 2 days I've averaged about 8.2 mpg while grossing almost 78k. This morning not so much, head wind in south texas held me around 6.7. grrrrr

    I think I'm gonna message my dm and see about getting routed back through Sapulpa for a 34 and have the shop fix my windshields. OTOH after seeing the weather report I might not. lol

    Just heard there are like 20 people here at the hotel for orientation. That sure seems like a lot to me. Hopefully things go smoothly tomorrow.

    Isnt thetrailer abs supposed to come on BEFORE you drag your tires down the road? Great. Two more trailer tires gone. They had to have frozen 7 miles up the road in Joplin at the J. Minus 2 here and snowing. Totally miserable weather. Cant wait to get further south.

    Edit: Now they went off again. Cold weather should be banned. Wreaks havoc on equipment, my fuel budget, and my patience.

    Road service couldnt change tire. Equipment froze up. Gonna limp back to Petro in Joplin. Looks like I am still losing coolant at a ridiculous rate. Back to the shop when this trip is done.

    #### Jarhed, and here I thought I had problems because my truck isn't burning DEF.

    Worst side effect I've seen so far is my 6.5 mpg (6.0 when 2nd seat is driving, lol).

    That and the engine fault on my APU are the only things I really have to whine about. Truck keeps moving too much to get repaired, so I'm not complaining!
