Headed to CSM davis' place on Friday during the day then on to Trailboss' by early evening. Hookup to a 931 and tow bar it back to Memphis Friday night. Try to make it home early Saturday morning if I run all night. Truck and I prefer the cool air.

If anyone needs anything moved let me know.

Left memphis at 530 this morning. Headed to trailboss in northern LA. Didnt get to csm's place. Tired of the heat. Made it to there around 115. Installed new batteries and hooked the towbar up. Beat tracks to memphis about 230. A little before 5 i stopped in Jackson to eat and get diesel. Towing well despite the heat. Had a mishap this morning 10miles south of memphis. Nut on the shut off solenoid came off some how. Wire came off and hit the block. Didnt hurt the wire tho. Stole an extra nut off an extra gauge i had on my toolbox and she was good to go. Vibrations.

Sounds like another successful recovery Wes. It's always good to have spare parts tucked away! Glad to know everything went smoothly after the minor vibration induced repair.

Made it home about 10:15pm. Laid over for an hour in Jackson eating and fueling up and left out of there around 620. (stupid little cars don't understand that they are little) Pretty bad storms coming north till about Grenada and then it was fine. I had approx. 375miles on the first leg down empty and then 135 miles towing and burned right about 76 gallons so about a 6mpg average in the appx 105 heat index. It was nice and hot adding new batteries and hooking the tow bar up alone. I knew it was hot when I had the chills. Then on the 216 mile journey home from Jackson the temperature dropped severely I'd say 25 degrees or so. Made for a nice drive. Used 36.3 gallons. so a little under 6. I only run 56-60mph

This another 931 for your own "collection" or for someone else?

One I sold to a regular customer of mine. He tends to buy one a month or so.

Nice looking trucks, And some serious driving, Nicely completed despite the minor hitch, must have been quite some site for the "little cars".

I did this the other day. It was pretty fine. Just a long trailer that could turn. M934 with a Bolster and a 20' cargo bed on it behind it. Like a really long green train.
