    Im just waiting on immigration to clear my visa for canada now... cant wait to leave the dust behind.

    $5 a mile wouldnt cut it for the train work.
    just think, around 264K lbs. 3 trailers, 62 tyres, 2.5mpg and utter desolation on your travels.

    sounds fun, until you add in the bulldust and huge temperatures.
    Or mud if it does actually rain...

    and i CBF running a 20 speed spicer.

    So there's some.....some.....some dude here with a new Cascadia that finally parked.

    Took him like 15 minutes, and I think he probably put more wear on his steering gear in that time than I do in 15 weeks.

    The trucks brakes and what ever else was making noise sounded like a large animal in pain going, "Nooooooo. Nooooooo."

    Got a Chevy Equanox for rental. Went to put gas in. Couldn't find the lever or button to open the gas door. Finally... out of frustration... I decided to try to force it open. Doh! That's all it wanted. Nothing to open it. Just push on one side and it opens. Doh! :biggrin_25521:

    Washed the truck before turning it in.
    Re-entered the DC. Gal at gate. Took my temp. Asked me if I had been yadda yadda.... around anyone with covid19? I said: Oh Yes! I went to the car wash! (with a dripping wet clean truck) ... She couldn't help but laugh.

    Thank you. We are excited and nervous at the same time. I thought the nervousness would be less with a second child... Nope, still there... Maybe even more so, as now I know what we are in for... Lol
