Molasses, slow as...
I am locked in a never ending battle for legality. DeTruck's situation is the focus of multiple 'investigations' regarding its status by TXDOT. Nothing is actually happening. I am sad. I wish I had more to say.

In other news, I plan to back the truck into the driveway tomorrow. This is an example of the pathetic level of inactivity regarding DeTruck, but it is rather challenging nonetheless.

More soon, I hope.
