In the great state of Texas

Hi folks!
Well, folks I have been in Texas for a couple of days and loving every minute. I delivered Fort Bliss At El Paso that is a very large base. The contractor had to lead me around to the different buildings. There are a lot of building going on there,after unloading I reloaded in El Paso for Fort Worth, Tx. And I am delivering this morning. After that I will be on my way to San Antonio and Houston for a load on Monday. Then I will load a show load from Dallas on Tuesday and then I will be on my to Michigan so I will be busy for a while. The Cascadia is doing a great job after pushing snow for a month my m.p.g. is back up to 7.1 which I think is great. I guess tomorrow will be wash day for the Cascadia, if around 4p.m. Saturday you dont have anything to do join in on the Kevin Rutherford Show I will be on at 4p.m.
Until next time be safe.
Dick
