We have made it to Laredo Texas. Well, it's the old good news, bad news! Which do you want first? I'll give you the bad news. The clutch on the truck is messed-up! It does not want you to put the truck in low gear (grind, grind, and more grind). Then you get mad at it and cram it into gear. It will go but it shakes the hell out of you and the whole truck! We took it to a Freightliner dealer and it could be a couple of days before it is ready. They will also replace the passenger windshield. This could delay me getting home, but not for long. Now for the good news. I can't stay in the truck while we wait for it to be fixed. Werner is paying for me to stay in a motel. The motel is WYFI equipped, so I'm able to update you. It is near a mall and an Outback. Well, I think I deserve a splurge on a good meal. So Outback, lookout here comes Trucker man. The motel is nice and has a big swimming pool. It is very warm and humid here. Hey, here is something to picture in your mind. Trucker man in a swimming suit. It just so happens that I brought mine with me. Are you visualizing a hunk of humanity in a swim suit? No? Well you would be right. I have lost about 35 lbs. and I don't think the flabby skin that is around my middle is very attractive. I need to find a way to get rid of that. I know what you are thinking. Start exercising, dummy. Well in my defense, it is very hard to find the time to while you are either driving or recuperating from driving.
Enough of this rambling talk. I'll check my pics and see what I can entertain you with. Stay safe and remember to buckle-up.
