  1. Taking a much needed break. IMG_2018.mov IMG_2018.mov
  2. Well, when you're down on your luck and you ain't got a buck, in London you're a goner. Even London Bridge has fallen down and moved to Arizona;
  3. Deleted the espresso machine and went with the mini trucker speed lab.
  4. It’s an air cylinder that acts like a spring on the clutch pedal. It takes less foot pressure to engage the clutch. also has torque assist steering. Has a switch with 3 settings to help turn the wheel when stoped or at slower speeds.
  5. Studied the spec sheet like the zapruder film. Line by line. Biggest things are all the babysitter electronics I had deleted. Like adaptive cruise. Lane departure. Collision avoidance system. All the shit that the truck would try to take control of. down to minor things like no hood mirrors. And taking the siphon protection screens out of the fuel tanks.
  6. So what do you think? Anything stand out to you on the specs?
  7. Best pic I can find of the main color. “Aztec gold” looks like burnt orange to me 🤠 It will have cream stripes outlined in black. I know, I know. But I think the cream will look better than true white. Still holding out hope that some rich surly benefactor is going to step up and make a big donation.
  8. Spec sheet is 15 pages. t680 paint.pdf T680 specs.PDF
  9. Big news!!! Made the last payment on ole Sparkle Cake today!! paid off just in time to take delivery of my new truck at the end of November. Signed papers on a 2026 Kenworth t680.
  10. Staged up at the Pop Tart bowl last night. Also home of the Citrus Bowl.
  11. I’m am strongly considering this. With a white stripe and black border. That orange is fucking beautiful in person if you haven’t seen it.
  12. With this on the back. I’d be down.
  13. So after shopping around I’ve found that the new Pete’s don’t have shit as far as storage. So I’m in the process of specking out a KW t680. I’m not really happy about it but it’s more practical. looking at this paint scheme. Not these colors. Any suggestions on 3 color combos that would look really good.
  14. On this tour I’m staying in 5 star hotels 3-5 nights a week. Once we load in we leave our trucks wherever they have us staged and then we go to a hotel. Places like Hyatt Regency or whatever fancy place that’s down town or near the venue.
  15. I live in Texas. I am a Texan. I did go to school at Jax State in Alabama though. most trucks are registered in the state that the trucks authority is in. The company I’m leased to is in AZ. as far as the ok trailer tags I believe it’s a tax thing.
  16. Newark, NJ East Rutherford, NJ Got to walk around on the field. The he Jets and the Giants each have half the stadium for their “ring of honor”. The only name I recognized was Mark Gastoneau. No Joe Namath or Lawerence Taylor anywhere to be seen. What in the actual fuck. Coked out or not LT is the greatest football player to ever play the game. Fucking Quebec City Canada. The only thing worse than a Canadian is a French Canadian. I’d rather be in Mexico. It’s a fucking crescent roll. Get over it.
  17. I was looking for the valve online and found them for $1400 shop charged me $2200. 🤬🤬🤬
  18. A little good news/bad news guessing game. 1. While I was home I put ole sparkle cake in the shop. Fixed an exhaust leak and a few minor issues. First time I’ve been to “my shop” since the whole motor fiasco. My mechanic calls and says the trucks ready so I ask what I owe him. He says $0. He is putting it in as warranty work even though nothing I had him work on had anything to do with any work he’s done previously. 2. 1300 miles from home and I throw a code for the EGR valve and the truck derates on me. I made it to load out in Detroit then head to a shop. $3700 later I have a new EGR valve and I’m back on the road. any guesses on which one is good news or bad news. On a better note while I was in the shop I talked to a salesman and we speced, spec’d, specd (none of those look right) out a new 579. Looking at around $220,000. If I get $100,000 for ole sparkle cake I’ll be pulling the trigger after the first of the year. (Tax reasons)
  19. Home for the first time since February.
  20. Mercy sakes alive!! on the way to Rhode Island. Staged up. parking lot party for load out tonight.
  21. ok boy got out and walked away. Never even looked over his shoulder.
