    That's cheating.

    I've done 45% plus hills assisted, but that doesn't count. My first was running fuel up to a yarder show. When they heard me on the radio getting close, a female voice welcomed me, and let me know that she was on her way down to pull me up. As she hooked the winch line on, gave me clear and concise instructions, and we began the slow climb to the show. While I was pumping off my fuel load, she helped a loaded truck down, and an empty up, then another, then helped me down. We talked, this was her 4th year doing so. What a lovely person, the whole crew was amazing. Over the years since, I have taken much more fuel to them. Crew never seems to change, once they are on there, they stay. Same woman who pulled me up the first time, did so the last time. New machine, same lovely operator.

    That's some skill man. Personally, I can't even draw a stick man in proportion so I've always been in awe of what people can create on paper. Do you do any landscapes as well or only portraits?

    Thought you gave up the bus route for a line haul.

    Na. Wife and I own a school bus company. 6 units, mostly rural. I do a run I would never ask anyone else to do. I run special ed kids all over. I do 5 schools a day with some of the most complex kids around. I never saw my self as a bus driver, but hands down it is the best job I've ever had. If I wasn't a licensed mechanic, there would be no money in it.
    I still truck a little, ran a end dump a little this summer for a freind, and I'll run truck or tractor during harvest for another.
    We don't have an Om, we have a compliance monitor.

    Good deal. For some reason thought you were doing more trucking.

    That CM seems to have focused on something not to it’s liking.
