Rain, Rain, Rain!!!!

We left Kansas City last Wednesday after the Dyno test went very strange on Tuesday. It took forever to get the test done and I believe that they altered the test, since the first printout did not include the blowby number and after 1/2 hour of debating suddenly a number appeared on the printout. We were disappointed, but it was time to move on, since there was also some strange noises between 4th and 5th gear. We spend a night in Thackerville to get our last gambling fix in and got to Denton, TX on Friday. It started raining around 5 pm and really did not stop until late this afternoon.

Friday we went to Arrow Trucks to check out another truck and found one that really is nice. It is a Volvo 780 without a clutch pedal, which makes it easier for me to drive. We went for a test drive today and had a VIS test done. There is some stuff in the front that needs to be fixed and we still have to talk them down on price, but other than that it drives really nice. Stay tuned, maybe we will be buying a truck this week!!

If it does not happen I hope Mike is right and the right truck will find us, or we will find it. Time will tell.
