    Made it the 150ish miles to unload.
    75 DH home, got old red out.
    Moved my gear again.
    Drove another 176 miles awaiting load in morning.
    Only 558 miles, almost got to see a CRST run a suburban off road, he did put him on opposite shoulder before he looked in mirror.
    I didn’t get great fuel mileage at 55, crawling up 67 with 80k derated.
    Got empty the check engine light went out, still parked it at the house, it’s going to Freightliner Friday.. maybe Saturday as it still has warranty.
    Old red fired right up, they found that relay, I told them I’d get it in the morning, but... I was called by the guy I haul for that’s direct and he’s got me finishing the week out hauling his loads.
    So I grabbed truck and left, they closed up early.:rolleyes:

    Nothing says fun like wearing oilfield onesies, full face respirator, chemy gloves, and apron while standing on top of 2 engines at max RPM while it's 110+ outside. I sure miss pumping cement.

    Drove past a fatal today, firemen were already there, but the cops hadn't arrived yet. Weighs on my mind. RIP.

    Well Costco pulled the plug on Fireworks sales in WA and OR.

    Was supposed to swap out aerial assortments for stuff that stays under 10 foot. Then got told about the change and to just go pick up the trailer.

    They sell out of trailers in WA because the Fire Marshalls do not allow fireworks inside the retail buildings.
