only a quick up date
left lethbridge to head for sioux city.i like this run its nice and steady.
came over the top and was somwere like whitehall,and the weather changed real quick.freezing fog and the temp dropped quick.i dont know if the temp gauge in my truck that reads outside temp,was faulty or not,but it read 4 degrees f.now for those that are used to it in c.i think its about -16c.
any i was coming up to a service station and thought,sod it,and parked up.thats when things went worse.my tri pac was turning but it wouldnt start.after about half an hour of trying to start it,i gave up.i thought it mayhave been due to the cold weather.so i had to sleep(try to)with th truck running all night.
when i got up in the morning,i tried it again.still the same,so i gave up on it.
when i eventually got to a warmer climate,i tried again,but still no change.so i decided it was knackered.
anyway to cut the story short,i am in sioux city.going into thermo king in the morning,hopefully the can repair it,then its off to little chute for the pizza.

not much to report at the mo.except the work is still coming and ive no complaints.still enjoying it immensely.
had some good runs,all with brilliant views.views that i will never tire of,i hope.
i can still say,its the best decision ive made.although,im missing my better half a real lot now.she is not coming out until april,and i cant wait to spend some quality time with her,and hopefully show her some of the sights that i have seen.
its nice to know that the 6 lads that came over just after me are still here and getting the work,and suprisingly enough,i have bumped in to 4 of them over the past few weekswe all do keep in touch on the phone,but its nice to see them in person.
the winter is on its way,i know.in some ways im looking forward to it.ill let you know how i feel,hopefully when ive seen it through.
well,thats it for now.
hope everybody drives safe
