What if it Snows?

I just posted up in Clinton. It's wtf windy. WTF windy for last 1000 miles. Truck is shaking like a mofo, and that's with the back of the trailer facing into the wind. It's blowing so hard my umbilicalls are bouncing around.

Cats are taking it in stride. Pretty amazing.

 

Yeah, yesterday morning I woke to heat and "fog" in Midland, TX. Goggles required because the "fog" was a sandstorm.

Today I delivered a mobile kitchen to west Arkansas for disaster relief. Good barbeque tonight for aid workers and those in need.

Heckuva wind all day yesterday and today. Blizzards up north. What a country!

 

It's global warming.

 

Rocking is slowing now. Not sure what the gusts were. Sustained had to be around 30.
Wyoming has nothing on this.
I didn't look at NWS when I stopped, so I'm not sure, but I'm gonna guess 40ish.

Fed the cats some of their special, climbed in back and sacked out.

Definitely some truck driving cats. Seen more than their fair share of bad highway, massive thunderstorm, and windstorms.

They just being cats lol.

Highly perplexed by the bunk heater for awhile lmfao.

If I live through this week, I think I may live forever.

 

The lady in Love's just said it was gusting 50+ yesterday.

 

The cats have made it to Kingman. They also prefer the Petro.
Another day of wtf wind.
I'm done already, but I can't ever remember the wind howling like this, almost non stop now since December.
Everywhere too.

 

Pretty calm and nice in Oklahoma today.

Thanks for leaving.

 

Now that @Dave_in_AZ is safely well out of Oklahoma, I'm taking a 34 to replace my shocks (Gabriel adjustables that I will crank up to extra firm), replace a leaking hose to the power steering unit, and have the AC system checked.

Today I ran two loads, bobtailed to Arkansas to pick up that kitchen I dropped off on Saturday (looks like tornadoes hit the area), brought it back to OKC, then did a quick 20 mile round trip with loads both ways (easy boards and strap and go with oil drill collars).

It sure is good driving my own truck again. No governor. Easy passing. Such a difference from driving gutless customer trucks on the drive away program.

 

I did my front shocks last PM. Wrench tells me you're supposed to replace shocks every 50K.
Took him maybe 20 minutes to do both.

 

I

I'm debating whether to replace them myself or just have a shop do it. Likely the latter, as I don't want to waste time. The shop that changes the hose can do the shock replacement. Then it's off to figure out the AC.
