Just ain't as durable as I used to be. Told my travel agent I'm taking a hard right turn for a few days after looking at the weather forecasts and hearing that "coldest temps of the season". So I brushed the snow off and loaded up some MB's and pointed my hood in a deep south direction. SW Florida here I come.

Have a nice trip! I rode to Key West for a couple of weeks visit, a couple of decades ago. Beautiful this time of year.

I'll get over that way sometime Billy. I'm out for a midnight stroll down I -95 tonight below Jax and it's a lot more tolerable compared to what I've been in. |

Yes it is, Mr Bogs. But one can only journey so far south then one runs out of real estate. Time to go back north. Billy...here's a little vid to whet your gear plowing appetite. I should put a warning up that this could be a waste of the next few minutes of one's life should one click the vid. I could only get a few of the available forward gears...I kept running out of room. |

GOOD!!! Good job Kik. Thanks for sharing a little that goes on in a big rig. I should have watched your video before I drove a tractor back from Memphis. I let my ass over load my mouth one time(no more than once but). I used to tell truck driving stories at work. So the boss said one day" We just bought a truck in in Memphis and they dont want to deliver it. We will fly you up and you can drive it back OK? Oh yea, sure No problem. When I got to Memphis I realized I had NEVER driven a set up like this. I left Memphis southbound in the 5 o clock rush hour traffic. It was not a pretty sight. After about 50 miles of shuttering and shaking and many missed shifts I figured out a combo that would get me from 0 to 55mph in about 15 mins. I also learned there are a lot of buzzers and alarms that I did not know about. But I was smiling BIG when I rolled in the gate at work. " How did it go?" asked the boss. " Piece of cake, Nothing to it" I lied. True story
