Tuesday night...rented a 14' U-Haul truck, drove it to Colfax, removed the 'lil DTV transmitter, had a friend show up and we pushed the thing into the back of the truck, strapped it down and headed back to home for a "quick" nap (about 0030) before heading to Davenport, IA., then to Orion, IL....yesterday...
Then...at 0500, got up and walked out into approx. 2" of crappy snow...drove through that *hit 'til 1130...finally got to the Davenport station, called the Chief, he met me in the parking lot, then he led me out to Orion, IL., to their transmitter site to unload this 'lil pig...
Got it unloaded, then BARELY got the truck out of the site (tires on rentals SUCK!), then drove iced-over roads back to Onalaska...got home about 2245...
Believe it or not...EVERYONE on the roads was well-behaved and courteous as all-get-out! Even in Iowa...they actually drove like they had paid attention in class!
I swear that EVERYONE even USED their turn-signals! UFB!!!
If it hadn't been for the weather (20-30mph winds) and 2"-4" of snow, either blowing or drifting...yesterday would have been one of the nicest days to be driving on a crowded roadway. Now that statement there is just plain sick!
