So this is it, i got to do all this lot and still get a truck load of friendship fries down to Pleasanton for the good people there, bloody hope they appreciate them.
So on with the story, i backed 3045 under a trailerload of something or other and started dragging it up to Calgary, the load was so heavy it was only just legal so 3045 wasnt impressed either.
As we left Lethbridge and trudged up the first hill, 3045 was sweating her little grease nipples off and i was contemplating 3 days of hard work, the phone rang and it was John Penney, he was about 3 minutes behind me so i slowed down a bit to let him catch up and we drove up in convoy having a good old chinwag on the Auntie Mary (Conversation on the CB).
Got up to Calgary, dropped my trailer and bobtailed the half mile or so to get this multi drop load. The load was ready so we scooted under it and hauled it off the door. I left 3045 outside (obviously) and went into get the paperwork.
The roads were deadly but so was our resolve, we took a rough westerly bearing and went screaming across Calgary, out onto highway 8 then headed north up to the Main route into British Columbia.
We actually made good time as we took a slip slidey route over the mighty rockies, tipped into Salmon Arm that night and managed to get to the outskirts of Kamloops where i pulled the curtains for the night.
