Great stories. Thanks for sharing. Hope to see the burb in passing someday.
Thanks, glad you liked them!! Hey, 11mpg really isn't much to cough at. The weight of the truck and the trailer along with wind resistance figured in, it sounds pretty good to me.

Nooooo, no paint!! I don't think I recall seeing the one you are referencing around here. Yeah, there are definitely some nice examples of these trucks around here. So what is the outage at Palo Verde??
