40. I wish I could take the time to detail my ride, but I've been so damned busy I'll be lucky to get it

Oct 2013

done much before the snow flies. Running reefer, this time of the year is big money time.

Did it back in June when I took a week off, had her looking right, but the last week I took off in September I was too busy doing stuff around the house to get to the truck.

When I'm in town on Sundays, the owner of the business a buddy of mine works for lets me park behind their warehouse, huge place, lots of parking, nice industrial park, nobody wandering around, instead of at the shop where I lease space and have another trailer parked.

The other place is 23 miles away, so if I'm just in for an overnight it's easier just to park a mile and a half from the house at my buddy's workplace than a half-hour away, and catch a ride from one of my kids or a buddy.

His boss bought a nice pressure washer/steam cleaner, they have all the supplies, and when we have the time we wash his ride, then I get the same treatment. Much more thorough than the Beacon, except it takes forever to rinse it right, just not enough water flow. Dem damn spots...

I give the boss and his wife a nice little gift every Christmas.

My buddy drives daycab for them, he gets to drive tractor and trailer into the building through the roll-up door, turn around and park inside overnight after getting a nice clean-up.


That Detroit would look real good in a glider, the pre-EGR's are getting snapped up by Fitzgerald and that other guy in Corvallis, I think it is.
