Merry Christmas

Well, I hope things are going better for you than the are for us.
The last few days have been very chaotic and topped off by a really bad cold and flu. Right now, we're enjoying the warmth of a nice hotel room compliments of H & R.

Got to Calgary on the 20th and bobtailed over to the Road King. I went right to bed at around 9:30 feeling pretty rough. Sandy went inside for awhile. Later on in the night, it got very cold in the truck. That little bunk heater just doesn't cut it at -30. Anyway, when I woke up and went to start the truck, nothing. She always hangs something over the control panel for the TriPak and this time she must have touched the "off" switch. So the TriPak hadn't run to keep the batteries charged and the coolant a bit warm. It definately wasn't going to start. I had to put in a breakdown message and wait for Penske to come over and boost me.

When it fired up, there was a great big exhaust leak near the manifold. It's been leaking a gallon of coolant every day or two, and servicing was also due. So the truck is over at Penske until Tues AM (Dec 23) I sure hope they get it out early. We have a load to Tracy CA that delivers on the 26 so we'll have to go pretty hard. Sure hope the roads are cleared up. There's been a lot of weather all over the west coast.
