    June idle chit chat and banter and freight hauling

    We can wait for a load and be comfortable, (for a van) but there were more vans at the J then showed on Sylectus. The forecast for freight was grim as well. Watched a good Saturday night short track show last night, now loaded for McAllen, TX.

    Loaded yesterday afternoon in Newport, TN for El Paso. At the J east of town with about 10 other vans. Looks like our Alternater lasted 360 thou, check Batt. light is on. Will drop in the morning and hope for something good. Worst case we drive out on the Aux. battery's.

    Loaded Merrifield, MN. to Greenville, TN. Drop Monday morning, might have to check out that Knoxville, IA dirt track. Had to change out the 6 volt deep cycle auxiliary batteries, dang they are 16 inches tall, heavy and kind of spendy. Old ones lasted 5 years, hope these are good ones.

    Things that go bang or thud

    Witnessed bridge strike just east of San Antonio on I-10, got lucky and had a out as the traffic wasn't real heavy. Was checking out this tank on a low boy, heard a bang then dust then tank wasn't moving. Happend real fast and a lot to sort out. Aim high and be safe everyone

    Had a great time on our Smokey Mountain loop. The Dragons Tail was the real deal, two up and camping gear, what a hoot. Got a little travel money for a Tee Shirt run gone bust yesterday. Now loaded Columbus, GA to Dillon, SC.

    Off to Alaska

    A friend of mine broke his rear diff. on the Tustumena, the turnbuckles came slack. He had it in gear and the rocking motion took it out.
