Yeah, there were a lot of bumper-to-bumper drivers on SR-36, but this pic is I-80, about 2 miles east of SL Int'l Airport.

Yeah, it was a "pick a lane" moment, lol. The truck acted like it no big deal though..... I love this truck.

More like a "make your own lane." It was snowing sideways here earlier, and now the sun is out. Only an inch or two, darn it.

Yeah, guess we just keep it as a backup in our minds. When SHTF we can re-asses the situation lol.


Also did my good deed for the day. Car full of girls driving to fast at night in the rain, went off the road and got stuck pretty good. Was actually lucky for them because if they rolled another 4ft they'd've gone down a 5foot ravine into a creek that was flooded. Anyway traffic wasn't being polite but I got turned around and while hooking up a state trooper off duty rolled by and was nice enough to turn on his lights and help stop traffic so I could pull them out. Slowly rolled forward and got them out without any damage to their car, success! Just got my scrubs and tennis shoes muddy/soaked lol. But man it just makes ya feel good when you're able to help someone out. Only took me 15mins and probably saved them over an hour waiting and a couple hundred dollars for the tow.

How many times in your life do you get a soaker but yet feel good about it.
