While I'm used to 2500-3000 mile weeks in my big truck I'll be taking 500+ mile round trip Thursday and Friday.

My oldest brothers son passed and I'll be attending the funeral.

On a lighter note I'll try to compare fuel economy between the " modes" on the way out and back.

I tried the slippery mode tonite...geez it felt like I was wheeling a 50 year old Mack truck.

BORING....

And I will be changing the oil when I get back home...will have about 1,000 miles on the Maverick by then.

Ordered two bottles of Pennzoil Ultra 5w30...got a big Baldwin filter, too.

Film at 11...

Thanks for the kind words.

Rodney was my contemporary...11 months my senior.

We went decades without seeing each other but our lives ran in parallel directions.

He was a trucker for 52 years...I'm on year 53.

He owned his own trucks for 28 years...I did the same for 22.

He was a lifelong race fan and I've been in and out of the game since 1969.

He was exposed to agent orange while serving in Vietnam...that gave him some real serious health issues for the last several years.

Thanks...
