Reflecting on my 1st solo LONG trip for the company: Drove a 1yr. old refuge truck
(right hand drive) from the Portland area back to the truck factory in IN.
Not w/o some drama.

Eng. check light came on when PRINCESS smelled a hill, and would surge/buck until
I agreed to back off speed for hills.

150 miles I had to limp 40-45mph. tops into Omaha for professional look at as per
owner.
The delay caused my company to pull the plug on the trip, but a flight home not
available until evening of next day.

The truck got fixed by mid-day, I got reinstated with PRINCESS again!

So I did finish THAT part of the trip. Check eng. light still comes on, but flatter

ground here permits the cruise control to power her through.

I'm some 90+ miles from the Indianapolis airport. The rental car places in these
small towns are all closed for the holiday weekend, so I'm somewhat happily
stuck in a motel until Tues.

But I get to relax here on the company, and watch both races today, plus the
NBA playoff games!

Driving on the right side of veh. was abit hard to wrap my mind around for a while!
