    So after a fuster cluck of a day yesterday with dispatch running me all over cleveland to bogus addresses to get rid of 3400 pounds of refused potatoes, today wasnt much better.

    Anyone know where I found this today???

    Yeah in a trailer tire...

    And after it was off the rim...

    All tires were fine when I did my pre trip. 130 something miles later I noticed it when I was getting loaded.... It was pissing air like an SOB, and VERY low on air. Thank God for auto inflation systems... I was able to make it 10 miles to a tire shop that is on our National Account. They removed the bolt and put in a boot. When I pulled up to the shop they were waiting for me. Guy signaled where to park near the door and he was already carrying tools out before I could walk to the rear of the trailer. 56 mins later I was back on the road.

    From the look of how the steel cables in the tire chewed up the bolt shank, I must have picked it up very shortly after getting on the road this morning.

    Once they open up indoor dining here on the sandbar. I'm looking forward to going back to my local spots. It's not the same taking it home.

    i agree. Lately every time I go to a Denny's, it's more often or not a bad experience. Either the food is off, or the service sucks. Shame to, as I do like some of the food.

    So which food home delivery service do you use?

    ;)

    I kid I kid!

    Seriously tho...Home Chef? Freshly? HA ha! I'm still joking.

    I've been sleepwalking the last 2 days. Did I miss anything? Who won the big chili cook-off?
