    I have to go straighten up the Truck. Worked late on it all night, and slept most of the day. Made Bacon and eggs. Then took a 3 hr nap. I keep trying to figure out a better storage design. Make things easier. Just not enough room. We really need a 110” bunk. I should have bought that 98 Peterbilt a couple yrs ago. $38k. Big orange Reliable O/O retiring. 18 spd had a noise in one gear, had to skip/avoid it. Didn’t like that. Otherwise a very nice Truck.

    Managed to get the last spot at Pilot in Columbia, MO. Lined up on 1 other spot, and as I was backing in got out to look, camper in spot beside it has their side extended and ramp down so you can't park there. Ready for all these :argue::argue::argue::argue: campers and RVers to go back to hell where they belong.

    Of course, I was being sarcastic. I did not even know about the meth when I posted the video. I hope that (redacted) is never again allowed to operate a CMV!

    Let me guess.

    Upshifts too soon, downshifts too late, takes off bobtail like it’s dragging 200k….

    That about right?

    So they are going to fix your truck and not total it? You are probably going to be better off that way. Hopefully get it back before the snow flies.

    . This attempt at eradicating the flying insects is bad for nature. What will the bats eat?
