When I get into my car, it's like I'm sitting on the ground. When I first start driving, it feels like I'm doing 80, when I'm barely doing 50.

No one in the line of cars behind me shares my concerns.

I have a 1500W inverter which provides A/C current for my truck, but my laptop doesn't like it. So I ordered a 12V power cord and that seems to work fine.

I can't park my car for doodle-e-squat. My brain thinks it's hauling a trailer. Haven't had to deal with that in 40 years.

Only one more day, thank goodness.

Hey Wedge
glad you are home and enjoying yourself and it's funny, Dave laughed when I read your post about driving the car-he said you forget how to back up and how small your car really is, blind spots etc when you have been in the big truck!

Hope you enjoy your time off and we can hear from you more often if you have your laptop issue fixed???!!

Coffee still waitin' on ya bro!!!!

I can just imagine what people must have been saying watching me trying to park.........."That old fossil should be home watching Lawrence Welk."

I did park once without needing to adjust. Glad I'm back out on the road.

My new power cord works fine (tested it in my car). If I go dark all of a sudden you'll know it whacked my computer.

I'm in Pageland SC waiting for the clock to move. First dispatch back from home time was to a Walmart DC with an 0600 delivery appointment. I've been to many different Walmart DC's, but this one is the slowest on the face of the earth. Ended up needing to take my 10 at this teeny-tiny TS about 1500 feet from the DC.

Now I'm waiting for time to pass so I can make a run to Duncan SC, but it doesn't deliver until 0700, a live un-load. I have to kill time because I don't want to get caught short on hours waiting.


Can't wait to have that coffee, Sammycat. I hope I can give you enough lead time if they dispatch me up into your neighborhood.
