    It is a temperature thing. Running the A/C, cab nice and cool. The bugs like that. They want in.

    Yeah i would guess that is what it is. It just drives me crazy when im on the interstate the stupid fly is sitting on the window sill , i roll the window all the way down somehow he is unaffected by the 60mph wind coming thru the window. I tried both windows down, he just fly around my frickin head. I thought i had got him out more than once until he come whizzing around my brain some more. One time i thought i got him good , i had a big ol grin on my face thinking i conquered him and not 5 minutes later. BZZZZ BZZZ BZZZZZ!! U got to be frickin kidding me. 6 frickin days he was in my truck . the last day he wouldnt even move when i went to swat st him , i think he had gotton malnurished didnt have nothing to eat. I eventually laid him to rest at a rest area in texas.

    That's a relatively small problem. Wait till a Wolf spider crawls up your drawers.

    Ft. Bridger always sticks with me cause I could have froze to death here back when I had Blackie.

    Had a sensor issue / derate warning from not letting it do it's own thing with the regens. This was before I started to figure this stuff out.

    So ran balls to the wall across WHY-OH-MING and stopped at a shop where Helga told me, "Now we must go to de over time rate. De over time rate is $187.50 hour. You are ok wid dees?"

    So I went out to drop my trailer and it had cleared.

    So go F yourself Helga, you and your fleece the driver husband.

    But then I was afraid to idle the truck after making it here.

    And it was -10.

    My cousin was like,"Dave. I know you've been through some really tough ####. But just idle the F truck before you freeze to death."

    So I idled. And it did it's self regens. And we all lived happily ever after.

    Go by Ft. Bridger all the time.
    I guess after a while you just Stop paying attention to the things that never change.

    Any one ever been by the coon dog cemetery in Alabama?

    In my first year of driving I was at Ft Bridger at what is now the TA. Was still Burns Bros then. This was in late June, I think. Was dry when I went to bed. When I woke up, there was a lot of snow on the ground and the chain law was out on the Sisters. Did I say this was in June? I went back to sleep.

    Never been, but I know you hang a left a few miles before the "shoe tree" heading west.Road doesn't look big enough for trucks. I wanna go bad though.
