Just done one to Dickinson ND and another to Eugene, Or

Now Im home till after my kids court on aug.9th The truck is hangin in there. Had some heating problems. I switch the thermostat and coolant sensor on the road. I think my fan clutch is going bad. Its making a singing like noise over 2000 rpm only when the fan is on. I bet the clutch is slipping in it. Prolly have to throw some money at it this week. lol This dang truck is a money pit. Everyone who tells me these high mileage stories with no repairs are full of bs. My truck needs 1000 bucks thrown at it every month. Been that way all year.

Yea I have no money to be buying another truck. If I make any changes I will just go back to being a trucker. I could have a job in mere seconds.

Cripes, been to busy to post. Since the 18th I've run......

- Wakarusa, IN - Wind Gap, PA
- Goshen, IN - Queensbury, NY
- Goshen, IN - Texas City, TX
- Swung through McKinney, TX and seen my folks
- Reloaded in Augusta, KS w/ 2 units going back to Goshen, IN
- Goshen, IN - Plainville, MA Delivered today
and am sitting in Sturbridge, MA on my way back to Goshen to grab 2 going to Boise, ID

Hopefully grab something in Pendleton, OR going deep into the great white north when I drop the Boise on Monday or tuesday and mabey run out west for a week or 2.

Dayum, Thats about 6400 miles total so far just to where I'm sitting now in 12 days. Will have about 9000 miles in 16 - 17 day by the time I get to Boise. I think I'm working hard enough.


Hope I'm not over working the poor little 445 Kitty too much.
