I am finally back home.

The weekend of the move, there were many things running through my mind. One that stands out in this context was this---what would be running here after 2 years of my absence? I had managed to get a glimpse of what could be back in Summer 2021, but that was just that, a glimpse. Furthermore, it was the general consensus that barring the 2011/12 Amreps, All that would be running here were those '08 Bridgeports, which no one wanted to film.

When the day finally came, I was left bewildered. I didn't get what I thought I would get. At the same time, I didn't get a 08' Bridgeport either. Instead, I was greeted with this.

2734 is a Peterbilt 320 from around 2012/13, evident from the grill it sports. (I am leaning towards 2013, but that's just a hutch a got.) The body is a Bridgeport Ranger, much like those '08s. With an arm guard/cover (not sure what would you call that), arm stopper (again, not sure what it's called), chrome bumper, OEM Bridgeport mudflats, and the aforementioned grill, the truck looks much more sharper and modern compared to those '08s.

With this truck came another twist. Much like 2997 down the hill, 2734 performs double duty. While understood as being the yard being hit by the worker shortage, this meant that for the duration of my visit, I was visited by only (mainly) a single truck. With this in mind though, I was planning to film out while on Recycle. However, in the middle of that, the afternoon winds kicked in, which forced me to change my plans accordingly.

I have a few more things to say. But I think I've said more than enough here, and I need to blow off some steam. So here's the video, I am out of here.
