    I was at 10.75 mpg in the trucks first 120,000 miles then the stupid shut down happened. Now at just over 200,000 miles it has dropped to 8.35 mpg. First 120K was running from Woodland to Twin Falls and Idaho falls. The last miles have mostly running back and forth over Donner or up to Medford OR. Thank you shut down. I realize I just have a lowly Cascadia but this lousy piece of crap truck (according to someone here) is making me and mine quite happy.

    Some people are just miserable in their lives. Doesn't matter what happens, they'll be unhappy. So they do their best to make everyone else unhappy.

    Some people are just happy and thankful. Even for a corndog.

    I didn't make it that way, but that's how it is.

    So THE COMMUNIST STATE appears to be in maximum enforcement mode.

    Out of 8 scales I went by, all of them were open.

    Got pulled into 5 of them.

    The one on I-15 at the top of the hill pulled a bunch of us in, and the first 3 dudes were going to get Level 1's.

    I was too deep into the gruel to post this yesterday.
