Tomo had a job working in Monroe, Washington and Gold Bar, Washington. He was delivering a milling machine and a lathe to a private shop owner in Monroe and another milling machine in Gold Bar. Both delivery locations were in the middle of a residential area. The fellow in Monroe has made his machine shop in his garage. In order to get to his location, Tomo had to start out with a 7.5% - 8% (at least) grade, and ducking for power lines while at the same time turning hairpin corners, and this continued for a good 3/4 mile or so......

The next stop was a Gold bar location. It was a machine shop in a backyard type of place. I couldn't get into their property, so I blocked one of the lanes and parked on the street. On top of that, this road wasn't going to take us anywhere close towards home. There was no way to turn around anywhere close by, Tomo ended up having to backup 1/2 miles, the same way they came in.

Now, Tomo has a job in Minot, North Dakota driving dump trucks. He is bound for Eastern Washington on Thursday and then on to North Dakota on Friday and Saturday.
