Every once in a while,... by which I mean ALL THE TIME he just can't help but be on his phone. This one time I happened to be sitting patiently just waiting for him to notice that I was trying to get his attention and Bruno picked up on what I was doing and decided to join in. Eventually Bruno got his attention and they preceded to have a staring competition which lasted for a few minutes before we both couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.

Man I love my dog. <3

You know  every time I find myself in Utah I always find the oddest stuffed animals, toys, key chains and all different manner of weird little creatures. These very happy strange ones happened to be in a claw machine inside a Denny's just outside Salt Lake City, UT. Couldn't help but try to get one, but alas they were all wedged in too tightly. At least I got a nifty photo to remember them by.

Well, we really liked the APU when we first got the new truck. However it was a kohler and supposedly an updated newer version since the company was recently bought out by New Prime Inc. Well that may have been an exaggeration on the part of the company because it didn't work hardly ever. Part of that was due to how it was installed on the truck but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that if you put the thermostat sensor under the exhaust pipe that the APU thinks its 200+ degrees outside when your in Wyoming and its -30, but I digress...

Did I mention the squealing belt? No, well that's why this photo got taken. Seems that someone at a truck stop didn't appreciate all the noise coming from the constantly squealing belt that was on the APU on our truck (Not that I could really blame them,...) and decided to fix the problem for us, by removing the oil filter from the APU engine. Real nice guys out there.

Keep an eye out for your fellow driver don't be a DICK and screw another guy over.

If you ever do find yourself in such a situation or need any kind of work on your truck before you take it to the TA or Petro check with Bus N Trucks Services in Strafford, MO they are the best in the Springfield Area, quick professional and they seem to have service accounts with most major carriers.

Driving across Montana are some of the most beautiful sites that you will see in the spring and summer time. Wide open planes of grass that turn into flowing rolling hills and mountains. Driving into Wyoming from Montana just near the border as the sun was falling from the sky and the moon had just started to rise I snapped this slightly out of focus photo of the horizon. For all Montana's beauty it can be quite haunting as well.

Well the day finely came! I got a Hammer of God V3 (HOGV3) I have been after one of these mec mods since the V1 came out and I could not be more thrilled with the V3. Honestly I am glad that I didn't get a V1 or V2.

Incase anyone is curious as to the build that I'm rockin in this pic.

Trzkt and Bruno hard at work studying German in the passenger seat. Sometimes we find ourselves on a long run that really takes it out of us but its little moments like this one that you happen to catch in a photo or on film that make the long day of dealing with angry truck drivers, crazy mini van moms and less than desirable weather conditions totally worth it.
