    Then there's me:

    "Yeah she is pretty cute. I'd smash that!"

    Play stupid games, expect stupid answers.

    Lazy brokers too. It’s a pain calling through the multiple loads posted to find I need an 8 ft tarp. There’s no tarp non-lumber light loads, but it’s like pulling teeth to find them.

    Dating nowadays is extremely tough. All the games, the drama, the “control/trust issues/jealousy” stuff going around is unbelievable.

    The way I explain it to the younger people, guys and girls, is this way:

    You’re starting a new job in 4 days. You need reliable transportation, and so you go car shopping.
    You have $3000 cash. Someone shows you a car, a beautiful car for $45000. Would you try to buy it?

    Another friend tells you about a car he’s selling. Good car, but needs work. Would you buy it?

    What if the job is a construction job? Would you buy a Honda Civic or hold out for a pickup?


    Before dating, figure out what it is you need. Is it he/she reliable or need fixing? Is he/she more than you can afford? If you live a rugged life way out in the sticks do you date someone who is afraid of the outdoors?

    “But Six, I can change him/her.”

    Usually that conversation is about someone with “trust issues.” You’re not gonna change that person, you are signing up to pay for someone else’s sins and your name isn’t Jesús. You are going to suffer, and there is no salvation at the end of your story.
    Your plan is to be totally transparent, communicate your every move, give all access and code words to all bank accounts and social media accounts. And then gradually, he/she will began to trust you and calm down. Right?

    Wrong.

    Ever see the guys at the truck stop who has to take the phone call on the crapper and explain to the wife why he is on the crapper and how many logs he put in the crapper, and whether or not he wipes with his right hand or left?
    Then you see this guy in the restaurant, headset on, trying to have a conversation with you with his wife listening. Been doing that dance for over a quarter century and she’s actually gotten worse. When they married, he had to call back within 5 minutes. Now he has to answer the phone by the second ring, otherwise she’s going to accuse him of infidelity.

    Are the pneumatic.? Welcome to the party bro.!
    Mine only like to run on high, have no delay, & quit on me when I dropped off the Fancy Gap there on i77 just N of Mt Airy, NC in a good shower couple months back. They seem slightly better when the temp is above 40°f. Put a new dash control valve & it helped slightly.. :confused:

    It's another beautiful day at the John Deere plant in Dubuque, IA and then on to Davenport to grab the last piece of equipment to complete my load. Be safe.
