    First, my hats off to the 2nd driver for stopping. I looked at the rollover several times and I think this trailer might have been empty or had a light load. I don't know what happened. I don't know the actual conditions at the time. It is possible the ice had nothing to do with what started the roll over! I do think the driver was going way too fast for the conditions. I hope that the driver is OK

    by being a camera there. there’s probably an overpass he’d went under, usually be a bit of ice under one.
    i was always taught to let up off pedal a bit going under one when ice possible.

    I know around here they’ve put cameras on interstate and even highway 67, but they’re all by overpasses.

    IMG_0314.jpeg Tain has stopped but still cloudy and dreary. The last wave of snowbirds have left but it’s not enough I must continue conversion operations.

    The Judge got mad last night.
    I woke up at 0400, go to take a leak, it’s flooded in front toliet.

    It’s just me, dad, who’s on a bag, I’ve been having to empty, and ole slick.
    I didn’t have on my glasses, so i went and snatched the blankets off slick, told him to get his ### out of that *delete expletives* bed and clean up where he’d missed the toilet.

    He said he didn’t and yada yada, i go get glasses see what going on.

    The rubber washer with bolt and butterfly, 3 of them in tank, one rubber gasket had deteriorated, allowing a drip, and during night had water in floor around toliet.

    Luckily i had some waterweld.
    I emptied back if tank, and turned that back and it’s fixed.

    I guess it’s used to people missing toliet at truckstops which automatically made me figure that’s what had happened.
