12 1/2 hours after leaving a great Homecoming event and after taking a number of short cuts that extended my trip by at least 1 hour ,I made it home .
I thought perhaps the truck would run a little easier north bound. as I had unloaded a fair bit of weight in the form of truck parts at the event, but it turns out my gvw. north bound was equal to my gvw. south bound due mainly to the fine and abundant food that was served .
I just have to say , these stovebolters sure know how to make a fellow feel welcome. I'd like to thank the Mullens who hosted the event and the numerous others that were involved for making this past weekend special , it was certainly worth a little driving !
