Michigan's weather looks like the speed limit on US-59 in Texas between Houston and Texarkana...
Good timing to fix this then (not hot in Ontario...yet...)
Think it was broken.
Turned down a $700 run yesterday, but grass cut, buick and sprinter fixed, laundry and dishes done, kids know my name again, and allowed to sleep in the house!
Wife was sick and instead of telling me she just put up with it. Think I overshot by working Mothers Day and leaving her with 4 kids after 2 weeks out
Tip for young expediters: when a woman says "do what you want" that is NOT what they mean

You're just learning that?
If you are doing drive-away out of Duluth its got to be Altec. I guess you could be doing fly-away out of Duluth, then it would be Cirrus airplanes.
72200 miles. Guido has 4 cracks. Ford ordered and will replace tomorrow. Very lucky it didn't come apart going down the road.
After delivery ... started the van check engine light off and running driving normal . Ford says history code was crankcase pressure out of range . Cannot duplicate and the sensor tested normal they claim as when asked they couldn't tell me how they tested it 
. Sitting in Davenport may move Ottawa IL just for a change in scenery !

I love that road! The Gateway ts in Carthage and the Sunshine ts in Nachadoches are nice stops along the way. Both have excellent delis.
Had a little run in with a small deer. Was able to swerve enough that it was just a glancing hit, not head on. Now the question is the repair shop wants $1,500 to repair. I can get all the pieces for under $400 and do the repair myself. FYI I have $1,000 deductible on my insurance. And bonus is I found a utube video on how to change the parts. You think I should do it myself? Save the insurance claim for the next hit?

Bill after talking to you last week I doubt there isn't much you can do! Bumper cover and a grill should be easy peazy!

Thank you. And a snap on wheel opening trim piece plus a windshield washer bottle. Actually kind of looking forward to learning how it all goes together.
