    Smooth as butter. Well do the break in tomorrow and then I’m back to work. (My wife couldn’t be happier)

    Random update… my wife has begun canning. We’ve got more figs and blueberries than we know what to do with. Basically we’ve picked about 40lbs of blueberries from our bushes. I may never eat blueberries again.

    Cucumbers are coming in nicely.

    I guess it’s a PNW thing our tomato crop is kinda of a bust.

    Truck update:
    Finished the break in. The motor is so freakin’ smooth. Tomorrow I road test and get it washed.
    I made 4 trips to Freightliner today for just stupid random seals and other tiny parts that failed or were failing. 34 miles round trip each time. Your basic 14 hour day. I’m just annoyed I can’t charge anyone for driving to pick stuff up. LOL

    100% ready to get a load asap. Need to restock my savings and I miss the road. You know 3am, good music, after pulling a couple good shots of espresso and making an Americano. All the normy 4 wheelers are still sleeping and I can just make miles, sip coffee and groove out to some tunes.

    Ahhhhh… I love this job. I think I’ve been out of the truck long enough that I got on some rose colored glasses on.
     
    mitrucker Thanks this.
