Someone just hit my truck…

I was trying to sleep. She backed into the back of my trailer. Didn’t feel any harder than hitting a dock. She was freaking out. Said she’d only been driving for a month. I didn’t see any damage. Tested my lights, all seems good.

I asked her if she’d learned a lesson. She said yes. I told her this never happened.

Never forget what your first couple months over the road was like.

Is this a good shortcut / bypass for the Salt Lake metropolitan area?

I’ve always taken I84 to I80 through Ogden, but today I was going to hit Ogden near rush hour and my new GPS was recommending this route. My schedule has some wiggle room, so I figured I’d take the scenic route.

I’ve been enjoying something a bit more engaging than interstate, there’s been barely any traffic, and even at midnight there’s still plenty of parking. I know with slow hill climbs it’ll take more than 1hr 10min, but the other route has lots of traffic. Other drivers make me nervous, so I’d gladly take a small delay to avoid Salt Lake.

Realistically, how much slower is this route? Would you recommend it as a bypass?

I’ve noticed that whenever I grab my flute, even when I have no intention to practice, I always play the same little tune. The embellishments change depending on my mood, but the notes are always the same.

For those curious, I’m playing a Native American flute in G minor. As for the background, I’m in the sleeper cab of my semi truck.

The cable was the perfect length to block my view of my passenger side nose mirror, so I shortened it with a zip tie. I figured putting it through the center of the loop (second image, red line) would cause the least abrasion.

Third image is how it hangs naturally, plus my dog tax payment. :)
