    My week was throwing chains in the PNW, then the 80 in Wyoming was shut for light/high profile vehicles, then the storm dropping a 8” in Indiana, then another 8” in Pennsylvania. I delivered on time, of course... but I ####ed up and got the BOL and didn’t check it was signed. Thankfully after that yesterday morning I got to fight the Nor’Easter on the 95 and finally made it back to Pennsylvania with my reserve parking only to be told all the spots were taken and I had 11 minutes left. I think closer to 12” had fallen and the manager at Pilot was kind enough to let me sleep in the fuel island.

    Headed back west and I’ll end up the 80. If I was gambling man I’d bet that even though it should clear, something will pop up a soon as Wyoming realizes I’m headed back. LOL

    Edit: forgot to add the clutch system needing to be bled and having to change fuel filters due to a warning light. Yay! Driving is fun!

    Taking The OM to vet tomorrow so they can check / adjust her insulin. The vet tech on the phone said she never heard of insulin pills:biggrin_1square3:.

    The sneak shots while eating are even falling under suspicion.:biggrin_1square2:

    Have you done the antigell thing in the fuel yet? May need to do some to flush out water accumulation.

    More concerned with the clutch bleed cause that indicates a failing seal or crack someplace in the system.

    Now it's hot. Coming up on 70F just a tad after noon.

    The weeds. OMFG the weeds. Obviously the weeds have started smoking legal weed, and do not realize this is the dead of winter.
