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.

I rode to Key West for a couple of weeks visit, a couple of decades ago. Beautiful this time of year. :rocker

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. :drivin

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. :smackface 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 ^o)
