    Saw a few little truck checks open in South Dakota in the last week. They usually just wave at me and then give me the high sign to get out of there. The big scale usually sees my pusher axle down and just leaves the "Return to Interstate" sign on.

    I definitely need an apu. An affordable Diesel generator would be ideal. Maybe 4000w max. W/ electric start. They’re so expensive though. Some Chinese knockoffs on Alibaba look decent, for the price. Problem is, most run on 50hz. instead of 60hz. Only one advertising 60hz. option. It’s more money than others. The website is so schetchy. Same with manufacturers. Basically anything made in China is available. Like a Chinese eBay. Public and Business Sections.Prices are minimum order amounts are inconsistent. A lot of the same stuff, just painted differently. Descriptions are full of mistakes and bad English.

    Oh no, not really. All minor things I’ve been procrastinating on. The Trucks very reliable. Best Truck I’ve ever had, as far as repairs go.

    Just ate waffle house. No parking signs in my usual spot. Backed in behind off the street. Had a good conversation with the Tifton Local Police Officer. Hell of a nice Guy. Said he’s been considering Trucking, eventually buying his Own, and taking his wife along.

    Yeah, a 3500 seems perfect and priced right. I don’t really want the gasoline though. There’s some mini splits now that are very compact and affordable. Been planning it for years now. Lol. The little diesel heaters are the way to go for winter. 1/10 gal per hr.
