    I think it would be a hindrance in our area. An area that has alot of lumber. I get sighs all the time when I tell them I only have a 48. Some folks seem to be real put off by it. For general freight, not sure if I would ever want to go less than 48. Sometimes, I regret not going 53. I've lost loads over not having a 53. Seems to be the direction general freight is moving. Lighter weights and more freight.

    Never been a cat person.. Found one I respect..

    This fella is know as "Wildcat". He showed up round 02/19. Never left because my old lady started feeding him. We started leting him in the house ~04/21. Only really comes in for the most part is to eat & sleep, spends the rest of the day hunting..

    The last tree rat was still alive when he drug it into the house!! Thankfully he recaptured it within minutes, with my help of lifting the couch so he could finish what he started.. lol

    I was thinking that would be the case here in the PNW with the amount of lumber/forestry product that gets moved around.

    Toyed with the idea of maybe getting a 53' tri axle. My goal is to not stray far from the NW states too often.

    If I was going to run our area, I would get a pnw 7 axle setup. It opens up a ton of doors in our area. If I was going to be regional, that's what I would do.

    Me too. Didn’t matter how I cooked fish, it was awful. Skillet, baked or grilled…whatever. It always turned out badly. The air fryer seems like it was made for people like me, who can’t really cook, but want to. They give you a little cookbook with the temperature and timer, follow along and it comes out perfectly. Nothing has been undercooked, nothing overcooked. No fire alarm going off.

    Now, in the owner’s manual, they do have warnings on where to operate the thing at, and apparently, most people that have problems burn themselves by trying to clean the thing before it cools off. Well, I reckon I am not that stupid (knock on wood)….yet?
