Help, Stranded...

...well, not yet, but I could be or any of us could be. With the holidays coming up and lots of us will be traveling to see loved ones or heading out to avoid them, we need more folks on the list. We have an awesome start and Neil, Jim and Justin with Bob helping out are doing a super job. Have a look at the RHN (Roadside Help Network) threads and think about it. You may be the one in need, or the one who if nothing else can lend a warm truck to sit in while you wait on a tow.
Have a look and give it some serious thoughts.

atta boy Barry. Keep this going, the more the better. I know I am ready for a call. Barry, if you come down this way, give me a call, I will go meet you and you can drive your truck to my shop. Then we can drink beer and play like we are fixing your truck.

Gosh, Barry... I was starting to worry about you. Glad it's what it is and not what it sounded like!

When I saw this thread, my first thought was "how could he get stranded, he's pretty up to speed on these trucks" Anytime anyone is in my neck of the woods and needs a hand feel free to give a shout.

Trust me, I'm not all that up to speed, and there is no way you can be prepared for everything. A bad batch of fuel will strand you, A blown HPOP oil line will shut you down in a few seconds, ect.. Bottom line, with the RHN network list in my, or my wifes glove box, I will rest easier.

You got me too, Barry. I saw the title and started to pack a bag of tools to come and get ya....

Seriously, the RHN is going to be a GREAT tool. It could save any one of us.

So Barry, when is this trip to Texas and to where? Susan and I will be there.
