    We have concluded the rhinoceros sleep portion of the 10 hour rest period, and have started the main engine.

    Got up at 0400 to make my pickup
    Finally found "the dude"
    Says, "drop in the lot and take any one you want."
    I says, "Really?"
    He says, "Really."

    So, found a nice place to drop. Rolled down my landing gear and went to release the 5th wheel.
    Hummmm......where's the handle????

    No handle. The metallic noise I heard when I pulled out this morning must have been it falling to the ground.

    At the TA in Lee High VA waiting to get into the shop.
    As soon as I get rolling, I'm headed south.

    What a day.

    Oh, and I forgot to tell you guys.....had a dude trying to do a 'suicide by truck' on me just outside of Cape Gearado MO on Tuesday. That was fun too. He was not successful.

    At a customer where the lab sample usually clears in 15 minutes.

    Now approaching minute 36......

    The regular receiver is on vacation.

    I hope that

    Never mind. He's back. OK to unload!

    He blamed the delay on the QA lady. One never knows......

    I got another one after this, Dayton to just past Columbus and back, then home.

    I turned down weekend work for the first time in awhile. Just want to go home.

    I'm sick of the state of the weather and the state of the nation. And my joints are KILLIN' me, and it ain't even tainin'.

    WAH.

    Sorry. Just not feeling it this week.

    Oh, yeah. Finally saw the circles. Cool!

    THAT certainly blows. Sorry 'bout that.

    Actually, I didn't know those COULD fall off....

    Actually, it broke off about 4 inches from where it mounts. You can see that it's been rusted through or something. I'll take a picture and post it when I get home

    Well dang,

    The one day I don’t watch the news, because I’m tired of the corona, I find I miss something important.

    Like the wind and tain I drove through yesterday no doubt caused a train derailment.
    EMA: Officials investigate train derailment in Arkansas
    Woulda been nice to know, coulda cut through 64B in Earle back to 40 and been moving.

    Edit:Thinking I should go tell the investigators that the tain did it..
    They might put me in an asylum, though..
