    still at Omaha, NE. started the truck at 7 this morning, within view of my shipper, so's I could impress a new broker by loading early and hopefully getting three stops off.

    truck had other plans... no air build-up. Somewhere around noon got the air governor replaced, still no air build-up. started messing with the air dryer, bad O-rings. limp down to the TA. I guess this is what it means, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" lol, good times.

    always carry a fitting to bypass the air dryer and the tools to loosen the hoses to bypass it. its not an everyday occurrence but always handy when ya need it

    Hey MJ, thought you'd get a kick out of this being a Minnesota guy.

    Ol' Mark Twain once said "The best way to make a lazy man look respectable is put a fishin' pole in his hand"
