    Ended up at $254258.90 for the year on 115341 miles. Not the best, but I can’t complain about $2.20 to my truck for all miles given how the world is. Fuel was $70525.06 and maintenance was $4316.73. If you add in lights and fenders and paint and material for the brackets and getting it lettered and all that my “parts and Maint” line is still only $8500.23 for the year.

    Been home since the 9th, not sure what I’m going to do at the end of January yet. I have a job offer that’s 4 on/3 off and it’s looking pretty appealing. I have a spot lined up to park my truck inside if I go try out the job to see if I like it.

    Must be a #### good offer if you are thinking about it. Good luck to you if you do. You gonna keep the truck if you like the job? Also not a bad year considering.
