    Nah I don't know him the only guy I know that drives
    Long beard? Bald head? Lol. He's the only guy I see that drives that truck. He's not my trainer but he has gave me a lot of pointers. Real cool guy.

    How in the hell do you go to the station and not empty the truck?

    Yikes. I suppose the mind is capable of some great and scary things? I catch myself at times on autopilot doing the same runs day after day but that's just when I'm cruising. Once I get to the delivery, it's refreshing mentally bc I get to do something besides drive. I dunno that guy must've had a few things going on upstairs to not unload the truck. Did he pull out hoses, get a veeder root, stick the tanks? Must've been some very attractive European ladies having an issue finding the gas fill on their car

    Plus i wonder if the truck had a suspension gauge. I always checked that "on board scale" after unloading and tapped the tanks. If not, you've gotta notice the truck dragging ###. Like I said, poor fella had other things on his mind.

    Man, are you sure it wasn't just one compartment that was still loaded? Sometimes the hose airlocks on you and you think it's empty, but then bad things happen when you climb on top and do that retain check.

    I want to hear more about this cryogenic stuff. Apparently Cali Kid is now close, personal friends with Elon Musk, and they're spending hours together each week developing the Hyperloop. .....

    The story they tell is the whole truck. Take it for what it's worth I guess. And yes Cali kid won't be posting as much, he's training for his Mars mission. God speed buddy!

    You guys are too much lol I might have to start a new tread. This cryo stuff is alot more mental then physical, you have to remember alot more steps and read/adjust for pressure. Like fuel establishing a routine is very important.
