    Or a tracked taco truck to run on the soft shoulder, alongside captive customers.

    I had a delicious dream of sorts. I dreamed I had a model t ford once again. I can remember thinking how cold it was going down the road (open top car in dream). Hiding behind the windshield to stay warm. Then I realized that if I drove the car forward it woud drive alot faster (lol). Turned the car around, let off the emergency brake and off it went in second gear. I stopped at a gas station and saw some one whom died 13 years back. He marveled at the antique. Told him it only took two days to build. Paid for the fuel, got out to the car. I didnt want to use the starter, so I rolled it down hill and bump started it.

    Alas I woke up. Yet it was a fun dream just the same.

    So I figured 25 miles moar to deliver and go back to the yard, thus completing The OM's latest Master Trip.

    I'm at the receiver. I think my guesstimate is cloas.

    The OM will be pleased.

    I saw a young guy the other day replace that top, front trailer light. He climbed up the back of the trailer using the door hinges as steps, going up and down. Been 50 years since I would have tried something like that and probably not even then.

    I try to do 7k a day. It's easier in the truck, at home I get a bit lazy.

    There are drivers here not parking in the official staging area, and instead doing a standard truck stop driveway park.

    I'm just glad The OM is at home watching kitty's, and not here to see this.
