I have a local hill. 27 miles of hill and grade. I took a run, than put 45 lbs in the tires, then a dropped them to 25 lbs. Used Cruse Control to maintain the Posted. It was a Proof of Concept. Altitude is about 7,500 ft.

The other day I let a fellow get on I-25; flashed, and pulled over to make room. Just as I got there, I saw the DEER lying in my High Speed lane. Hit the lights, brakes, and swerved to straddle the line. I always drive with the Canadian Day Time Lights.

I always use the seat belts. If you don't, you walk. No Talk. You walk.

Bottom line, by the Grace of God, I am telling you about it.
