[Jon and Kay]

I am sure you could start the gossip in T1 Dot

Wait till he finds out How many trips to tip and scrap metal

When one (in this instant TWO) is working hard stacking moving etc many items UN identified, encased in their own rust and dirt blanket as well as s strong colony of cocktoaches and mouse we both need nightly dose of medicine to ward of the ills that would befall us
How would he feel if I let Margaret fall ill to some terrible disease.

[Dot]

So right Brian.. you two are doing a sterling job, keep it up with the tip trips before he gets home and enjoy that special medicine I hear you have got addicted to x

[Dot]

Nice to know who ya friends are eh Got here around 3pm Monday, only a short sleep outside Wagga, then back on the road. Now here are two strange things that happened and were part of a subject I was ridiculed over on that other forum...... it took longer driving time and used more fuel empty coming home than it did going down.... possibly over loaded. Margaret identified the problem, I was travelling down the map on the way there but up the map come back here..... My take on the issue was I had to drive with the pedal near on the metal up and down hill, selecting angel gear resulted in dropping from 95km/h back to 85km/h even though I was still going down hill, the drag was greater than the energy produce by the weight of the truck going down hill. Fully loaded I only needed to drop below 5th gear on 2 hills going down, besides Macquarie Pass and that was a steady 3rd gear. Coming back here empty I was back to 5th much earlier on a hill than I'd expected after having just come down a hill before it.

more headwind because you can travel lite and fast vs slow and load.

Terry, Didn't you mention this subject on another forum a few years ago. I seem to remember that there were some members then that had a minor brain explosion. Seem to remember all sorts of mass versus load type physics arguments back then.
