    I got the old trustee 660 back for another few months... they did a full rebuild on the Cummins.

    At least that’s what they said.

    Wow!!! With the wind like that, it's almost a losing battle. Last March (2017), the guys in SW Kansas, and us up here, had the same problems those guys in NW Oklahoma are having now. If you could drive fast enough to catch and keep up with the head fire, you were going so fast the water never hit the ground.

    We’ve had issues with our Mac aluminum stepdecks... got a bunch of what looks like Great Dane combo stepdecks in the yard replacing them.

    Finally giving us air gauges on the spread axles...

    True, but half of its weight is above 7 feet off the ground and boy oh boy does she lean the trailer over if I go into a curve a little too hot.

    Fortunately it's been an uneventful day so far and I'm about 2 hours from finishing. Stopped in the Soo for a shower and a sub. And fuel of course. Bears are out in full force, but I'm running the speed limit or slower because of the coil. I'm not taking any chances.

    I've got hours to make it to White River, but apparently cell reception there is bad and the Jets are playing again tonight. Plus it's the anniversary of my wife's mom's death, so she wouldn't be too happy if she couldn't call me.

    So Wawa it is.

    Ever have one of those WTF moments? Was sitting at the lunch counter eating a quiet lunch when I heard an unusual sound. I turned and looked down. Totally unexpected...

    This guy crawls into the restaurant pn his belly.

    I look around to see if anyone else sees this...apparently no one else does. WTF? You ever question your own sanity? How can I be the only person that sees this? The guy crawls up to the lunch counter and sits there like he was there all along. I ask a waitress, and she says she saw him. Good, I'm not hallucinating. The manager overheard and asks if we are serious. The manager asks me if hes a driver. I dunno, I doubt it...aint never seen a driver crawl around a truckstop. Then again, I've never seen anyone crawl around a truckstop. 20180413_143925.jpg

    Could it be that his only clean shirt said “Swift” on it and he was trying to hide it? Maybe he owed a lot lizard some money and was keeping a low profile? Those are my best guesses.
