    I’m sitting here having my morning pot of coffee. Roku TVs all we have. No more cable. Anyways the Flintstones were on, MeTv channel, thought of Opus, Lol. It was funny, haven’t watched that in years. Segway right into the Brady Bunch. It’s the famous Marcia Marcia Marcia episode. Mr Brady pulls up in a 71 Blue Barracuda convertible. Don’t remember that. Must have traded in the wagon, Lol. Anyways back to reality. Got to get busy around here.

    You might consider playing around a little more on speed.
    Prime sets that governor at 63 because they determined that is the best speed for mileage.
    I've heard another say so on a Volvo.
    Crete is happy with 65.
    Mag is happy at 64.
    and BTW: Laws on having to back up. The uphill guy has to back. No backing downhill.

    I'm mostly o.k. with running 65 ish. Just do not like the 62 on the peddle 65 on cruz B.S.

    Tended to run between 63 and 65 with my truck. was a good balance point for time economy and fuel economy for me.

    Miss being wide open (well governed at 111) when I could say "F! all you all I am not running in this pack".....

    With JB, Running usually less than 10k in the box with DD and 12 auto current truck averages about 9 confirmed at the pump. Previous truck truck PornStar with Cummins and eaton10 auto averaged about 8. Typical 10 it was rarely in a good gear. And too much jump between gears for efficiency.

    The Tempurpedic bed I bought on Monday just got here. Set it up in the living room for now, until the work on the bedroom is finished. Harkens back to my humble white trash beginnings.
