Sorry I haven't been In
I'm broken down in Duchesne Utah right now. I already spent two days busted down in Roosevelt. I've moved, I'm rooming With a friend who hauls cattle. He's showing me how to operate a semi. My laptop got stepped on when my brother was in town, and my desktop is throwing platters. I've been spending enough time on the road I haven't had a chance to fix either of my machines.
Two trucks later here I sit. I'm in the midst of writing a five page (at least) letter to ford.
In other news, I've maybe found myself a 351 peterbilt to start out with. The guy is going to give me the truck for a little or nothing; he just wants the 400 cummins and the 13 speed out of it. I'm in the market for a 3406B cat, and whatever I can find for a gearbox, two sticks included. I wish i had the Pete already. I'd just bus it home, come back with the Pete, and haul this ford back and drop it in my Boss' lap. I'm not happy with his cheapskate ways at this point. I'm having to walk around scenic Duchesne, Ut, Like a bum to avoid motel costs. Hooray me!
In the end this whole situation could have been avoided with one set of tire chains I asked for three weeks ago. I keep falling, but there is no satisfying liquidy crunch at the other end.
Hev.
