    All this guitar talk had me watching Stevie Ray and Albert King on You Tube. The wife just walked in and asked if I was drinking.:(

    It was raining pretty good from Medford to Coburg today with some real squalls in between.

    Two cars tangled on the 6% down hill before the Flying Buffalo (exit 148 flying j).

    It was ugly.

    Here’s my point. People in Oregon can’t drive in the rain. Cove fort in Utah on the 15, never seen so many spun out cars, people in Utah can’t drive in the snow. Everything has to have padded corners and a safety zone. My answer is people can’t drive.

    I slept last night at 5,000 feet off Oregon 140 near the Crater lake turn off. Nice little lot that is dark and quiet. One other truck. I rolled out at 3:30am. Foggy and raining hard in spots. The speed limit is 50-55mph in most places. I don’t think I broke 35 till I got off that hill.

    People that want to live recognize the danger and slow the #### down. I think the point I’m making is the gubment in this instance is throwing up chain control because most people don’t have a survival instinct; and those ####-wads rake people with them.

    All the Judas priest stuck with me from earlier. Breaking the law was the first song for the new guitar. Freaking thing is amazing for the $530 it cost. Sounds great, set up is on the money right out of the box and it was even in tune. Cheap guitars are really getting good these days, it makes it really hard to justify a lot of money unless it's something you've always wanted.

    Man some of our guys must have had a rough night. I just got home from taking my daughter to school and seen like 5 of our trucks heading in. I must have gotten lucky and only worked 9.5 hours last night.
