“time off”

hello everyone, as my title says I’m taking a few days off this week. even though the Cascadia is very roomy and a pleasure to drive a person just needs to step away from business for a few days. contrary to some of my fellow drivers beliefs i tend to run pretty hard. just this week my Cascadia, Spencer and myself turned over the 100,000 mile mark. so i think it’s time for a little break. besides Margee’s (my wife) birthday is may 4th. good chance for me to get the truck serviced and fix anything that might need repaired. i know it needs grease. i think I’m going to balance and rotate steer tires this time, along with rotating the drive tires. i don’t see any abnormal wear on the drives but they have 100,000 miles on they. i know i should be taking time off but i still have a business to attend to. i will let all of you know if i find anything out as far as my service goes, or if you have specific questions i will be happy to provide the answers or find out the answers for you. thanks for taking the time to read my blogs.      kurt
