Oops. Sheckles. Not shackles. God only knows what I'm doing with shackles.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to complain TOO much. I think we all agree that we want to be as close to 100% rested when called upon. But yes. Time to start putting some shackles away. ;)

Sucky night. Generator only ran about 4 hours per gallon (tank) of gas last night under full load. Heat was plenty warm enough with furniture pad curtains on each end of bunk. Heated mattress pad helped. But down to 4 hours sucked. Sleeps were 2200-0200. Gen out but I was way toasty in 20...

EMT Gaffney, SC.

Peace Bridge Closed to US-Bound Traffic; Trucks Turned Around (Jan. 7, 2014) -- The Peace Bridge at Fort Erie-Buffalo is closed tonight to all southbound commercial truck traffic which is not headed into the city of Buffalo. OTA has confirmed with bridge authorities that due to extreme weather...

Low in Gaffney of 16 tonight. Gonna feel like a heat wave compared to my last few out.

True. Sally should have gotten that instead of this generator. LOL!! I need to add a feeder gas tank to it. Other than that, I think I just about can make it thru this winter. Assuming that Heet keeps my gen gas from freezing again.

I know. This van doesn't burn oil, leak anything & doesn't let me down. But with 414K on it I have to think the "big one" is coming. I should go with the UPS mentality, though, and just keep bolting parts on.

Good point, Mr.

I think Bill is super happy with his. I think I'll wait until my next truck for one. The gasoline one, that is. That's a lot of RELIABLE and easy heat to make.

Seems like you could wire in a digital house thermostat if it's a low voltage system. The furnace only ones are way cheap.

Yes. I'm excited about all the shippers I'll be within 50 miles of!! ;)

Thanks! Will do. You too!

See, but last January was WAY mild. IMO.

Like. I think I shaved a year off my life with the stress of being an "Ice Road Vanner".

Good call!! I did NOT enjoy my trek up thru and back down thru that area today.

And about 25 semis on the side of the highway, presumably with frozen air or fuel.

Most. The one that had an F-150 jammed up its butt was still there. The 2 jacked semis WERE gone. Now it's about 20-30 cars slid off or crashed. That's between Romeo, Detroit & Luna areas.

Just went thru there. There's about 1/2-3/4 inch of ice completely covering 75 thru there. Sphincter exercises complete!!!!

Left Dayton at -9 at 01:30. Go to Romeo at -12 at 06:00. Headed to SC which is currently +8. That is IF they ever load me!!!!
