Where Are You Continues, Again.....

The skeeters are bad too.

 

Had been driving nights again... even though it's not very healthy on my body to drive all nights... I enjoy the road so much more... with almost no traffic....
I thought there was something wrong with the ecm in this truck... how it computes the miles.... but that is ok... it matches my mileage notes....
This truck is governed at 65 on the pedal and 68 on cruise but I don't use cruise all the time and don't think I rushed at all but this is how many miles I ran on the last 2 days/ nights....







And I ran less then 11 hrs on each of those nights....

 

Wasn't sure if I was going to deliver today in Sumner, WA or not... the agreement with receiver was for tomorrow.... today would be ok but they said tomorrow would be better...
If I delivered today would have to keep using recycled hrs... Woke up at 2 am today and was going to hit the road but got a text from my DSP telling me to deliver tomorrow... so I went back to bed...
Going to leave at 3 am...
Now parked at Baker, OR.... BEAUTIFUL SUNNY WARM DAY HERE!

 

You mean mosquitoes...?
If they are like the ones in GA.... OMG!

 

Yes. There’s still a lot of standing water. I fueled at the truck-o-mat in Little Rock this morning and they were landing on my trailer for some reason. Had to have been at least 20-30 landed where I was fueling the reefer.

 

I remember one night I arrived at a truck stop in AL... or maybe AR for parking... it was pretty dark, I opened the windows to see better and a swarm of starving mosquitoes got in the truck...
I had to keep the windows open so I could see while backing but the mosquitoes had a "banquette" off my body....

 

Gonna walk out of the truck right now for some exercise... sitting in this truck all day...

 

Yes, I stay all winter, it pretty much takes an emergency to get me to go down south, especially in the summer.
It is hard for people to understand, unless they have spent a winter here, but I promise you, you will feel colder at times anywhere in the lower 48, including southern cal and florida than I will, where I live.
It is a lot warmer temp wise, but if I go down towards the coast I will freeze. lol

If all I am doing is running the log truck, The loggers I haul for do not work at any temp below 20 below.
I only have to stay out of the truck long enough to hook up the trailer and watch them set the first two or three logs on, the again when they are finished to tie down. Maybe 10 minutes at a time to chain and un chain. I have gone all winter at least once without even putting a coat on, just a jacket.

 

I don’t think I should be driving at night with my meds. They put me to sleep right away.

 

You're making me wanna be a mosquito. I'm hungry now.
