    People don't seem to understand it is a lot of factors that make the whole. Looking at one item in isolation can end up costing a chunk of change.

    Maintaining speed is a huge mileage booster and Edmonds is almost always among the cheapest fuel stops. Its not huge but I figure I save about $22 by going the long way. That's through cheaper fuel and better overall mileage.

    I think the guy was new and tried to help him out. But some people can't take help very well.

    That's quite a deer corridor up in that area. They don't bother me much but the cottonpickn elk are another story

    I'm actually spending some time at home with the wife. I also just bought me a new mattress for the truck. Got one of them fancy ones that usually sells for 1k for 250 bucks. It's so much nicer then that pos that was in my rig.

    Well, I have looked at my options and decided that I am going to pay off this truck. With the way I run, I can pay off this truck in another 3 and half years. I see no point in starting over on paying for another truck that would take 4 years to pay off anyway. Also, I am lazy don't want to move all my stuff out of the truck and I really do like my truck.

    Yep macho that's my exact thought. Every time I think about an upgrade I look at my stuff and I'm like, I already have it all situated in here and I don't want to start over.
