    That's disappointing. What would a blimp trailer be for axles? 0+0+0?
    When you get something with a clown car give me a shout I've always wanted to drive one of those. A couple things though; nap time is 2pm, I don't work on days ending in Y, and I'm pretty sure I'd suck at it.

    Fires right up and idles at 7k elevation or sea-level and I'm up by 2.5 mpg. So far I'm really impressed with the Holley Sniper efi setup. The longtube headers and dual exhaust are nice and quiet yet have a good sound at idle.

    I've been one of them 55mph 4wheelers for the past two weeks! More pics to come as the road trip continues.

    Left the home base on Monday and loaded at Dura-Line in Gainesville, TX. Picked up 12 reels with 4,004 feet of 1¼" pipe used for underground fiberoptics. Pretty cool stuff. Each 4,004 feet of pipe contains 7 smaller internal tubes that they run the fiber optic cable through. Little over 9.1 miles of underground pipe. Took that load to Pierre, SD and found out that my delivery was to an unmanned yard. Great. Had to sit and wait for someone to arrive to inspect the load and run the forklift. Finally got unloaded Thursday morning and headed east to Brandon, SD just east of Sioux Falls, SD. Picked up another load in Brandon this morning from Leeco Steel going to Tulsa, OK. TQL called me and asked if I could get there today and they offered a rate that I normally would not get for a 23,000lb load of plate steel so I took it. Y'all be safe and have a good ride.

    On a funny side note:

    Shop tool supplier or undercover strip club? Saw this in the back of the 1-Stop Travel Plaza in Pierre, SD where I parked which was next door to my delivery.
