What if it Snows?

You beat me to it.

Frankly I see another issue. Morale possibly. Its good to have a place to rest and try to make a home however temporary. However I thought I was the one who knows how to pack just one suitcase with everything for trucking and one briefcase. Thats it.

Looking around the apartment with the matress on floor and charging devices in the corner ready to travel at a moment's notice reminds me of one very esteemed doctor way back when I was a child in Johns Hopkins which themselves is a respected insitution. The doctor told my parents that if they commit me to the state school in Columbia Maryland that was being built that year and have a list of 65 students to open the 1973 year I have to know that there is a home somewhere not just being passed around several homes having to make mental adjustments according to each one. You never really settle and set roots.

Leaving aside the details however there is a house apparently in your inheritence or some path that you are trying to sell. And close everything here in Brazil to come back to America? You might want to decide what you really want for a home.

One example. FDA has a list of medicines that are not being made now in China and wont be for a while. It will run out of SOME medicine. Not alot, but to one person or 10,000 people in America and the world that is the medicine they need. Therefore from what I understand we are dusting off wartime laws to go ahead and build production from scratch to replace the lost medicines sometime later this year. Quietly. The hope is we can maintain our society such as it is without having to resort to martial law or state rule via medical director and agencies etc.

Brazil might be a better place. If you understand it well. However if your heart is here at home wherever it is in America then come on.

Ok, so here we go. It's been quite a while since I did any tourist trucking, I got a little jaded, TBH, so thanks, @Dave_in_AZ for the nudge.

So I'm talking my 30 at the rest area at Deer Lodge. I was going to wait until the top of Homestake, but honestly, the view from here is a lot better.

 

And yes. My tractor does have googly eyes.

 

I must say those corner hood mirrors blacked out would be really good in a proper storm. I know that some look down on the things but there were many times those two would be the ones still working heated or not.

 

She sure is purrty, though.

 

How about Hwy 49 from Auburn to Placerville? He'd get to meet several CHP and CalTrans people and spend some time with them.
Great fun.

 

Well got pm done on truck and trailer. Tech found a grease line cut in half on the auto greaser system, and was nice enough to show me rather than just saying nothing and pushing grease thru it like most of them do. had him track down my coolant leak as well and it turned out to be a fitting on heater core inlet, right in front of my face the whole time. Sometimes its good to get 2nd pair of eyes. Easy fixes but aint paying shop prices to fix it when i got the tools to do myself. Might as well knock out the apu coolant hoses that i been procrastinating to fix . Have all the parts for that now. Getting new brakes on trailer and then home 4 the weekend. Been a succesful day , may even give big blue a bath at the streakin beacon, if hes lucky!!

 

doing all the pissy stuff is where you will REALLY save on maintenance.

 

I took mine to the beacon, it’s worse now imo
