      its fall

      boy what a difference a couple of days make, and a couple hundred miles. while down in fresno and futher south in LA it is air conditioner time 

i cant sleep  even at night i think its too hot. but drive towards oregon and the weather turns to a more suitable tempature.  a light dusting of snow in shasta, some snow left over in the shadows  of the trees that the sun doesnt melt. deer are everywhere. some are sleeping on the road side and others are waiting to cross. 

                                                         this is how milk shakes are made

when we got fuel in chemult, oregon the tempature was 18.

      this trip was from fresno to spokane. our next run is fresno to kent. the fedex run is really a sweet deal. its light. its ready on time. we dont have to wait for it to be loaded or unloaded, and when there is hazmat we make $70 extra. even if we dont have to placard. as long as fedex puts in 1 pound of hazmat we make extra $$, .  we picked up this heavy load for our return trip. its paper rolls, it weighs 44,000. and the trailer has an airleak. will thinks its in the air canister. it drains the air in about 5 minutes. so he stopped to check it out. he didnt hear any air in the glad hands, but when we are stopped for too long the air pressure goes down. hes going to keep an eye on it and see if it gets better as the weather headed south warms up. we dont want to wait for repair to come.

      love and miss you all,
