    Ok, that's a little freaky....:D
    Left the shop early, 4'ish. A friend of mine lives in Empire and called me to give me a heads up. I took the North route, over Ute and Berthoud passes, made good time- 2-1/2 hours.
    I-70 still closed E.bound, it was a bad wreck, driver dead. They're checking the bridge for structural issues.

    We sound a lot alike. I don't care for any alcoholic drink nor coffee drink.

    Plow truck maintenance. Ugggg. This thing is about to become a farm truck. This mess started with 4 new Michelins. Then 2 new Delco batteries. Now it's morphed into 12 new brake lines ( fu$k stabilitrak and traction control), a Delco fuel pump, new tank straps and bolts, fuel lines and 3 days of making new cuss words, numerous eye wash moments from all the rust, beating the spare tire assembly outta the frame and lots more fun.

    Pro tip. Don't ever keep a plow truck longer than 10 years. And don't ever expect to actually make money in the long run.

    Roads are dry and great weather for this time of year. On that gentle corner, guy must have had a drivers steer tire blowout or a medical episode. Doesn't make sense otherwise.

    GM had huge issues of rusting in those years. Granted, plow service is tougher than regular use.

    I know. I like my beer. And booze too. Just don't spike my hot chocolate or egg nog. I'll do a shot on the side, then drink my nog/ Choco.

    And don't give me coffee. Lol

    Yeah, no idea what really caused it. Semi heading West, gentle right sweep on the road. He crossed the median, into the Eastbound lanes and into the bridge abutment.
    You went through there this past summer, it's flat and open. At least it was quick, nothing left of the cab I was told. Prayers for the dude and family.
