Very cool

Made it home, wow has it rained. Anyway, 420 mile recovery went without problem except the one & a half hour traffic jam in Atlanta. What a fantastic truck. More tomorrow.

Glad to hear you made it!! You have me stoked to get my recovery run going. Right now looking at weekend after memorial day weekend.

 

[FloridaAKM]

Get stoked, it's hard going with all the big trucks on the high ways. but lots of fun. The trip back from Blue Ridge, Georgia took from 15:00 Friday afternoon, till Saturday morning @ 03:30. Going thru Atlanta @ 17:30 was a witch due to traffic & all the fools cutting in front of me all while being on the cell phones yaakking away. My legs are sore this morning from running the clutch & brake trying not to run over the idiots who kept cutting in. I would leave a safe distance between me & the next vehicle @ 10 to 15 mph, only to have people jump in trying to get ahead. Two fuel stops & a couple or four inspection stops were all the breaks I took. On the interstate, the big rigs would scream past you just 8 to 10 feet away for hours on end, while on the country roads, it was nice going!
Pictures Monday since my computer won't upload any!

I took her to work this morning to everyones surprise. Management thinks I am certifiably nuts, but secretly most of them really like it. Pictures after I get back from running to the Drs office.

Sorry for the double posts, I was removing one doubled picture, when it posted twice. Might be from the anesthesia I got loaded into me this morning for a scopy procedure. I was brought back to work after the procedure & then given a ride home, since they wouldn't let me drive. The picture of the road was in N Atlanta right before the traffic jam started & lasted 1 & a half hours.

I am so glad I didn't hit traffic like this on my drive back. Worst I had to pass through was narrow construction areas on the highway.

 

[FloridaAKM]

Vandrel, that picture shows a good Atlanta traffic flow; it was minutes later that everything slowed down to 10-15 mph for 1.5+ hours. I posted a return trip thru the Blue Ridge mountains, but the seller told me I would be there forever due to the winding roads & hills; so I took 575 to Atlanta & I-75 the rest of the way to Florida. There were the narrow construction areas, but they were not as bad as the semis blowing past me for hours. A blowout like you had would not have been good, since as tired as I was, if I kept the truck undercontrol to the shoulder, I would have not had a good day, even with the tools to change it out!
