TN6
The upside of breaking down
I suppose this comes under the heading “making lemonade out of lemons” but it occurs to me that being delayed 3 days at the start of the TN6 due to truck problems was not all bad. Good things: I got a chance to fix the broken line to the WiFi router. I got my CARES … Continue reading
The revised 6th trip north (TN6) plan
If you have been paying attention, you know that our (bleeping) truck has completely destroyed our original TN6 plans. I currently have a part on order and expect to have a new turbocharger connector hose installed by competent professionals by, at the latest, tomorrow (Friday) morning.
