Looks like an enjoyable trip at least, should make your way north... Way north.

Those dishes at the VLA are huge! They have a nice sized barn to fix them too.

That's Cool. I'm guessing Big Red is the transport truck? Never thought about repair and such.

So today I lost my marker light functionality, and got a roofing nail in my tire.
GimpyRobb is a **** of a guy. He assisted in all repairs...
I'm stopped for the night. Tomorrow's destination is VA...

I've been on the road and had issues with my ride, it sucks. I was more than happy to help.
Maybe next time, don't cut your trailer cord off in one swipe!

Yeah the big red transport moves the dishes around. There are three different patterns they set the 27 dishes up in. I used to live on the Navajo reservation by them and worked in the mountains next to them. It was really cool seeing the dishes move side to side throughout the day and also watching them move them from station to station. They weigh either 240 tons or 270 tons per dish.

I made it to VA and handed off what needed handing off. Mostly I think I provided amusement to Carnac's dad who apparently sees something unusual about wearing sandals at 20 degrees....
Tomorrow I start westward and may make it as far as Lexington KY. I'm mostly empty if anyone has anything....

Ha!
I'm guessing the OSHA approved sandals aren't able to ward off frostbite?

Back at the folks house. It was good seeing 98G again albeit for too short of time. I was grabbing something inside the truck and Dad asks "Is that him with no hat, a bald head, and wearing a t-shirt?"
Without turning around I was looking at Dad and asked if he was wearing sandals. Dad did a double take and said "By God he is". I said, "That's him". And so starteth the meet and greet.
I was slightly worried when 98G put on a sweatshirt. You have to wonder if a person is feeling well if they wear a sweatshirt in 20' weather. I thought everyone just wore a t-shirt....except for me....my dad....and ..........
Oh, I saw my first snowflakes of the season while we were transferring stuff.
