Delivered to Chicago this morning, came in towards Chicago last night. The roads were real slick where the snow bad blown back across and turned to ice. I pulled off in Minooka last night to get off the roads. This morning they were well salted and wet, exit ramps were still snaring a few people, though.

Hi all, just got to Franklin Ky.
Went from NC to Buffalo. Met up with Eula to swap the load going to Canada. She got there about 4AM yesterday morning. BOL said 75#, I think it was a bit more. It was 11 deg out, wind chill -1. Poor Eula just had a sweater on and was freezing. SCOTT, buy your wife some warm cloths! By the way, I think she wants a Sprinter too.
Picked up over by Pembroke NY yesterday afternoon.
From just south of Cleveland on I271, hit the freezing rain. Ended up with half inch thick ice over the whole van. The check engine light came on just south of Columbus. Pulled into a gas station, could barely get the hood open. The whole front end had almost an inch of ice and the 2 intakes on top of the hood were completely iced over.
After reading thru the manual, everything checked out ok. South of Louisville, temp got above 34 and rain. Ice started coming off. Sounded like someone ripping the sheet metal apart. Delivered in Bowling Green bout 4am, went and fueled up, check engine light went off. Just about all the ice was gone. 43 deg out. The roads when I came thru weren't really that bad. SB I71 north of Columbus was the worse stretch. Still had plenty of spray coming off the vehicles in front and passing me. The biggest problem was keeping the ice off the windshield and wipers. Went thru about a gallon of washer fluid.

Yeah Nula wants a jacket and a Sprinter. I keep telling her she's got me so that's more than enough
Yep Shadow is here....Mr Snappy might have a load...beauty day here again...
During the recent royal wedding, the millions around the world saw that Prince William chose to wear a uniform that included the famous British "red coat."
Many people have asked, "Why did the British wear red coats in battle?"
A long time ago, Britain and France were at war. During one battle, the French captured a British Colonel. They took him to their headquarters, and the French General began to question him. Finally, as an afterthought, the French General asked, "Why do you British officers all wear red coats? Don't you know the red material makes you easier targets for us to shoot at ?"
In his casual, matter-of-fact, way, the officer informed the General that the reason British officers wear red coats is so that if they are wounded, the blood won't show, and the men they are leading won't panic.
And that is why, from that day forward, all French Army officers wear brown trousers.
