Anyway all happy hump day. Hope everyones wed. Are drama free and go by quickly. (And hopefully onzedge can go home soon )
My normal shifting is probably closer to 3500 RPMs. I'm just happy I can save my clutch some wear now that I feel comfortable doing a 1st to 6th shift

sorry to hear, mr.onzedge. hope you pickup you spirits this am.

i get that sometimes when im traveling out of country. i can only imagine how mr.mu is feeling too. traveling far away from home knowing you can't just jump back in a car is tuff at times. ive dealt with that a lot.

that's bad enough, yet people in service go to places where we're not even liked. or can get killed. that's crazy tuff.

Sunday, she leaves for Boston and Monday I leave for Lewiston, ID.
you sure are raking up the miles.
