Fixed my horn (compressor was shot), rotated the tires, checked the fluids, washed the clothes (waiting for the dryer) and then I'm off to Maine for the weekend to finish off my vacation.

True nothing beats a wrecker for a recovery, except maybe a bed with a knuckle boom 
Or like the one West Hill has, just behind the cab we had a side pull mounted. Mike toyed with getting a knuckle boom for this truck but decided to do that with a larger bed. This is the best photo I have of it, on this truck A is the cable and B is the extendable stabilizer foot

Aaron, I can tell you from being down here.
Avoid the Cross Bronx and Manhattan like it was Chernobyl.
Especially when both levels of the GWB are under construction, like they are right now.
Always take 287 over the Tappan Zee and head down the Pallisades or 9W to the Turnpike.

From someone who is in Jersey as much as here.... x10000 to avoiding the GWB and taking 287.

Evening CT!
Spent the night at the Speedbowl with the GF watching the Valenti Mod Series and my favorite, the ISMA Supers. Someone came close or broke the record (not sure which) for the fastest lap, over 110mph average around the bowl which is freakin' hauling the mail. Had a great time!
