Where is everyone #5

Dropped in Lasalle, Illinois. DH to Dubuque and then to Davenport Iowa. Scaled and fueled (only carry 100 gal). Major accident on I-80 E at the state line on the bridge. Backed up for miles. So I took the 280 around Quad cities and back in Lasalle, Illinois. Not enough time to get into Michigan. Oh well I’ll deliver tomorrow morning.

 

Best $$$$ I've spent. Got the same one.


Finally sent my 3/4 drive torque wrench out for repairs. She did well for 8 years. It started randomly skipping a tooth or 2 the last year or so. Never been calibrated since new either so we'll get 2 birds stoned at once and have that done too.

 

This half inch has never been calibrated that I know of but the kid tested it against some new ones.

It's probably older than me

 

The shrub bushes back home that make up the majority of the “brush” are pretty dang thick, so I got my money on one good stump before it dings the hell outta your blades

 

nah that model has a stump jumper setup

 

Dang I already lost; I either need a chainsaw or a lot of free time for this one haha

 

95 South just before the George Washington bridge was fun, about 4 miles of stop and go 2 - 5 mph traffic and then I finally hit the Jersey Turnpike, going to Georgia; that reminds me they had one real d bag driving a box truck, went to change lanes to the left after this other semi moved out of that spot, was pretty much completely in the lane until this guy honks his horn at me trying to eat every bit of my trailer speeding up just so I couldn’t get over, waved my left arm like “wtf” then I flipped the guy off; he got even with my truck, looked at me and I had a pretty evil grin going hahaha I would’ve given him both barrels then if the steering wheel didn’t need attention, guess that’s NY for you

 

I'm just a semi retired hobby trucker according to mama....I can't afford ten sets of tools....the walking around rounding them up is probably good for me.

My problem is usually the last wrench I used five minutes ago....takes me a half hour walking around the shop to find it.

It's always in the last place you look.....and yes I always check the shelves in the fridge.

 

I already snagged a steel rod.... didn't affect it a bit

 

mid it were me I would check my pocket and then my other hand - chances are good it is one of them....
