Where is everyone #5

Truckin s just a distraction.

 

Never!!
That's Coors in a Blue Badger "Bud Lite" glass. Don't fret Partner..

 

26 is a good road. 191, 89, 26, took it last summer from rock springs with 47,500 on the deck into idaho falls with a tree fiddy & a 9 speed. You'll do just fine. Enjoy the scenery..

 

You sure this is a good idea? That mobile crusher's gotta weigh 100k+. I don't think that's enough truck.
"I'm pretty sure it'll do it"
[cut scene, going up long grade, CB conversation]
You gunna make it?
"I think so. 3rd was making a lot of noise I think it's the trans, dropped to 2nd, I've got one more to go. She'll make it. I think."

An old T6 day cab with a little Cummins 350 will do it, it turns out. But I wouldn't recommend it.

 

Great news

 

My conversation went more like this:
Me — There ain’t no way that old POS is gonna pull Edna Creek
Boss — Oh you’ll be fine— that Ol girl been pulling these hills since before you was born
Me— I’ll give a whirl, just stay back a ways in case someone has to call an ambulance

 

26 is good route. even in the winter.. if you ever need to get around i80 if its closed.. us26 is rarely ever closed.. its the secret way around. @Cattleman84 taught me that one...

 

Phew.....that was close.
My wife tried telling me, I have to get rid of my Harley now because of the deal betweeen Harley and Budweiser. I told her, not to worry. Anyone drinking Bud and riding, most likely won't be the kind of person that would be long for this world anyway.
But I do hear they're starting to take some flack for that, as well. Sigh...might be time to trade in for an Indian.

 

US26 was indeed not bad at all. Only twice I had to drop under 45mph at 80k lbs with my old 12.7 detroit.

The yard I park at has a guy that runs bridge beams running pretty heavy (dont quote me but probably a 10+ axle setup) with a 12.7 detroit. That cannot be a fun drive.
