My trip home from working on the truck. This was my journey:

Well... My new EBP tube was working fantastically until I was hit with last night's glorious winds....

Normal highway driving weather: 3-5psi and 600-750* EGTs

Last night's highway driving weather: 6-10psi and 740-960* EGTs... I don't think I saw less than 6psi for many 30 minutes out of a 2-1/2 hour trip...

So I'm gonna take this moment to thank this glorious wind/storm for not only killing my mpg but knocking out my power and making for a terrible drive home across the state...

50mph winds again today....

I have power. Mostly because I went out yesterday morning and filled my generator and an extra 5 gallon jug. I was ready for it, so it didn't happen.

What do you mean you just saw it? That is no excuse. A good excuse would be that you shot something this weekend.

S.E. of Grand Rapids. Lots of people around here without power. Most notably the bar where I usually have lunch. I had to choke down Branns beer today!
