Yes, but when you are getting busy with your left hand, it is too quick to cause condensation on the windows, because you are so used to it. When you are getting busy with your right hand, it is almost as if it is a stranger, and you get worked up more causing condensation on the windows.

At least that's how it was explained in the Steve Booth Fan Club© literature.

And to think I shook hands with this guy. :shock:

Don't worry, I used my right hand.....I think?

Well, pretty freaking boring the past few days driving through Texas, New Mexico and now I'm in Cheyenne Wyoming.

I past about 15 dead cows on either side of the road in Texas. They must have got out. There wasn't any gunk on the road and they were all on the sides so I'm figuring they were hit in the head and landed there?

I'm thinking there was one cow that was a little shhit. Lets call him Rev.MooCow. He would stand near the edge of the road and say, hey guys, come here. They would stand next to him and when a truck came he would say, look at this. When they took a step forward to see, well...!

I'm leaking oil about a quart ever 1,000 miles now and it's getting all over my nice chrome fenders and rear wheels. I can't figure out where it's coming from but I'm hoping it can hold out for my trip to Canada then back home.

I switched over to Sprint instead of Verizon for my air card and have been very pleased with it's performance. I was always able to get online with Verizon but it was very slow most of the time and kept getting disconnected so that was it. My contract was up so I switched.

I may be taking my first oversized load coming out of Canada. It's only 1" over on each side so that's good. It will at least give me the chance to learn about the permits, flags, lights and banners. It weighs only 8,000 pounds and takes up only 10' of deck. I'm getting $3.00 per mile and should be able to cram a ton more LTL's along the way back to PA.

Aliens.

So now we've moved from suicidal bunnies to suicidal cows. It seems every animal you come in contact with wants to end its life. Why is that?

I assume you've pressure washed your engine?

Meh. I've hauled more oversize than that inside my dry van. :lol:

Ha ha ha, what a bunch of tards for sure.

Yes, I had the engine pressure washed but I still can't see it. What I should have done after having it washed was set the cruise around 2,000 RPM's and see what I could.

My theory is that it's dripping some place under load and drops straight down then the wind catches the drop and creates a mist all over the bottom of the engine.

I'm assuming it's something I cannot fix so I'm just curious at this point. I want to drop it off at the dealer and let them deal with it.

Oh yea, one more thing. Wait till the rest of you get on blood pressure meds. That solves all your problems with having to sit on your hands!!!
