The last run in

Well this is the last day of my crappiest run so far, what else can go wrong.

Woke up nice and early, skipped breakfast, checked 3045 and hit the road. Stopped at the McDonalds in Golden for McMuffins and coffee (double double) then ploughed on through more horrendous conditions.

Passed a Dutch driver (Hi Manfried) shouted "Hi" over CB and made a witty comment about him having a heavy load and see him back at Calgary.

Big mistake, i got over the next hill, my engine warning lights came on and the motor died.

Well Manfried pulled over too and i thanked him for not laughing.

I had lost a lot of coolant and tripped the sensor that killed the engine, luckily i always carry a couple of gallons of water so in it went, this solved the problem and off we went again.

I met up with Manfried again at Calgary and at last my luck changed.............................

There were no loads coming back to Lethbridge so we were both told to bobtail back.

Thanks Peter.

So Christmas begins................................
