The Interview

As we travel we meet so many people.  You can learn a lot from people when you do the interview.  Just completed an interview with a truck driver hauling high end cars.  Learned a lot about driving a large truck on ice and snow.  This particular truck had the new style wheels whereby one tire replaces two.  The driver says he gets better traction, a better ride, and the truck turns better.  So the next tractor trailer I buy will have those tires.  Last night The Commander and Kadizzle discussed how trucks brake coming down the mountains in snow.  Kadizzle wondered how chains on the tractor, but none on the trailer would work out.  This truck driver said they have come up with what he called "drag chains" for the trailer.  This makes sense, but Kadizzle would not want to come over the I 70 pass covered with snow pulling a trailer no matter what.

Another interview was conducted with the stone mason working on the casino.  Kadizzle never realized that companies exist that do nothing but take care of the stone and tile work for casinos.  As the interview progressed it turned out the mason, and owner of the company was an avid pheasant hunter. Kadizzle is always working on a bargain.  The mason may be able to visit Kadizzle, hunt some pheasants, and help Kadizzle build a new fireplace facade.

We meet so many interesting people.  Last year we met a couple that live in a tiny van, but take three months out of the year to travel the world.  By the end of the week we should be able to see how our pet bums are doing back at Roosevelt Lake.  It will be a miracle if Gary is still alive.  He has been smoking himself to death.  The Forest Service says we will get a real nice gated camp spot if we get there soon enough.  Tomorrow we bust out and pray for good roads.
