    It’s getting tight everywhere. Only Midwest loads for $2.00 pm, are to east coast and Florida. Not worth it. Down from $2.50 pm last week, wasn’t worth it then. Pretty big drop in a short time. Noticed less Trucks in Ky. Tn. than normal, especially for a Thursday, Friday.

    And while we are on ovens...…...

    Some of you may or may not remember what happened the last time I cleaned the oven / stove. I burnt my finger tips off with oven cleaner. This is also another reason I don't unload chemicals with a suit.

    Stop the laughing now.

    Anyway, I bought two big cans of Easy Off like two years ago, and they are still in the plastic WalMart bag laying at the end of the counter.

    I may clean said oven today or tomorrow.

    I have gloves now.

    Have you seen what a master brewer ir a sommelier get paid?

    When I was in college I had a friend named Joe and an acquaintance named Julia. One day Joe and Julia got to snipping at each other and Joe called Julia dumb. Julia responded "we have the same gpa". To which Joe responded "you go to every class, turn in everything on time and spend 4 hours a day in the library. I put in almost no effort"

    Or you look at Jeff - he showed up with enough AP credits that anytime it looked like he was going to get less than an A, he dropped the course.

    Or look at my high school - there were 2 special ed kids in the top 10%. If you weight gpa for honors/remedial our class rank changed dramatically.

    Would you rather be at the bottom of the class at Harvard or the top of your class at American Samoa U?

    In other words, class rank doesn't mean a whole lot.

    53FBD278-140D-4CBD-97DB-F626E513BC18.jpeg Jackpot!!! I knew it was in here somewhere. 4oz bottle of liquid gold. At least 1 Oz left. Been in storage for 10 yrs. No implied warranty. eBay, here I come. Unless one of my fellow Drivers wants to make an offer. I’ll give you first dibs. Least I can do, always looking out for the other guy.
