That's what I get for reading and attempting to listen to my wife at the same time and only half paying attention to both. I still don't know why she was talking to me.

Got the Nova Scotia done,,, in Scranton pa headed back. I got another tt goin to ME with a back haul. Might b eatin steaks after this week!!! I'm in a mad dash tho. I wanna get the ME back haul back to Indiana before closing time on Tuesday. That's the cutoff for the weekly pay period.
Brian is correct,,, it's a B&W. we call bumper pulls,,, travel trailers, or just tt's. trailers that hook in the bed and aren't goosenecks we call fifth wheels, or just fw's. FYI,,, fwiw.
The toolbox is a sweet weatherguard. I modified it and cut the bottom off n made it shorter. The bottom now is to the bottom mounts of the hyd cylinders. It's about 2" too tall to hook up fw's,, so I have to raise,, back under, then lower,,, But it's worth the hassle to have all my tools where I can stand there n get to them.

That would be my good ole days showing. When I was driving rig we always referred to the hitch as the fifth wheel. IE: greasing the fifth wheel was the plate of the hitch not the trailer LOL. Now the slang for the fifth wheel trailer is the 5er. It's all good LOL. Cheers and good luck and hope you get back for Tuesday as planned.

If you (or anyone else) are running through Montreal, be aware that the new south loop bypass section of AR30 is now open for business. It takes you from AR20 on the west side of Montreal as you come in from Hyw 401 in Ontario across the river to the south shore and all the way up to pick up AR20 again on the east side of Montreal. $.75 per axle toll for the new bridge. Completely bypasses Montreal. Also the no-right-turn-on-red is just on the Island of Montreal, not all of Quebec.

Where in Nova Scotia were you? I'm in Tatamagouche (north shore).

My son hauls a propane train. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he was hauling one of those Aussie deals. That's insane.

I snuck in a Manteca ca run last week before going home for the weekend. But I'm gonna be back there next week again, after I go see Sean in Seattle. I'm goin to Indiana now to get the Seattle, then back to get another going to Manteca. Hopefully the schedules will work so we can meet up with Steve in northern ca, and Benny in Slc.

Crap!!!! I forgot about it. Next time. I'd like to see if I can rebuild the turbo,,, I might end up needing to get a stock turbo back on here. Anyone open to trade a stocker for a powermax???? Is that a stupid question???

It's too bad you aren't closer to my neck of the woods. I have a turbo sitting in my garage that's for an '05 to '07 model year truck that I just opened up and did a turbo cleaning on, months ago.
