Have a safe trip.

We are going to Louisville today, stop by. :-)

With the last week anything is possible.

Well we know Butch can't program a Baofeng anyway so radios wouldn't work. :-) You're welcome. I know Gimpy and I were happy to help.

Have a safe rest of the trip home.

You should have pulled into Gatlinburg to wait it out. :-) Maybe another big rock slide at the entrance to the cut.

Problem solved. Stop trying to skirt the rules and use the classifieds. Period. Thank you for your attention.

Yes, I just had one when I woke up. My wife saved one for me. ;-)

Trip went well, very well compared to the other group headed south right now. I told Gimpy I wanted to drive when we stopped at the rest stop at the bottom of Kentucky. That truck has more get up and go than my 813 but I needed it running up Jellico. I passed an OTR truck going up and looked...

Maybe for you old man but Gimpy and I just delivered that 818 down to Georgia last night. I may be old too but I'm still making trips and memories. ;-) Yes, Andy must have seen us in the chase car headed north cause Gimpy said he got a text asking if that was us at MM 94. I saw the rescue...

Oh yeah Gimpy drove.

Seems like Christmas season recoveries are my 5-ton's tradition, I towed Rebel's home last year. I guess the day after Christmas isn't the best time to be working next to a busy interstate. Crazy people out looking for deals..... No pics then it didn't happen. Except for the weak throttle...

I'm still at the house. Leaving shortly for Gimpy's.

I was in a Cat D11 down in Kentucky once and have watched Ron run his M819. I would use a 819 to do an engine removal/install on the big Cat. My opinion (that's all it is) is that it is not big enough. Great truck for what it was designed for but swapping engine that big isn't it. I like...

If you are already in TN you will be here before 14:00. ;-) Unless you are coming up 23.

I guess we'll see you when we see you. I'm packing for a fast/short trip. ;-)

Didn't get to drive the truck in the field so it will still be clean. I did open the hood and look at the rebuild paint job on the Cummins. I'm going to have to get the chuck out and air the tires on the front. Looks like the CTIS wheel fittings are leaking some.

Is it okay if the tires have a little mud on them when you pick the truck up? I may drive it around the field to give a two-year old girl a ride in it.

I am sure my overhead hoist can pull that 6CTA, come on over tomorrow Gimpy, time is short. ;-)

The surroundings of the truck look vaguely familiar. I drove it and in the 75 feet I want to say it handled great. :-)
