    I only managed to put in 6 hrs driving today......

    Miscellaneous delays, equipment trouble with the in-transit heat quick connect leaking, tried a couple new washers that made the leak worse.......

    The load has only lost 5 degrees since I loaded yesterday, and it's still 20 degrees above minimum spec, and I'm six hours away from a 0800 delivery, so I figured, eff it, disconnected the ITH and I'm going to bed. G'nite!

    Way too much stress involved with that for me.

    Easier to use an old steel truck rim. Get a metal trash can lid for the cover. The rim depth is great for a good bed of coals.
    The tire shop that I used to work for is giving away rusty split rims.

    That's about my speed.

    We used to go night fishing on The Monongahela when I was a kid. Dad showed us how to cook hot dogs on top of the lanterns.

    Getting tired of losing good loads because some snot for brains jackwagon drops off a load he already accepted, thus burning our mc# with brokers. 2 different loads paying over $3/mi I was told they no longer work with us, when 2 weeks ago they did.

    Whoops.

    I may have put some high speed cat feed in the tank at the blue wilderness feed mill/canning station in Richmond, In a few weeks back.
    I been looking all over for it, some nice gentleman in a suit coat gave it to me in West Memphis, though he called it high speed chicken feed....
    I kept telling him we tried that before, we couldn’t catch the genetically engineered 4 legged chicken..

    In other news.
    400 mile ag exempt down, another 100 to go, had to eat at subway because I must like self pain and punishment.

    I had the displeasure of eating at a Subway today, but not because of the food. I get behind a very, very old gentleman, or at the very least he's seen a hard life...probably both. He's clearly uncomfortable with the situation, probably hasn't frequented places like this much, if at all.

    The young guy behind the counter, who would rather be sitting on his arse at home collecting a Covid check, asks the old guy what kind of bread he wants, and not in a very polite manner I might add. The fella has NO idea what bread he can choose and this clearly flusters the man while the kid stands there, doing absolutely NOTHING to help, waiting for the man to make a decision. The older guy is getting a bit more confused as the kid stands there motionless staring at him. I couldn't take it.
    PLEASE TELL THE MAN WHAT BREAD YOU HAVE AVAILABLE! The kid doesn't look at me and CONTINUES to stare at the gentleman. At that moment, I saw the bread selection board pasted to the front cooler window and told the fella to make his decision from those choices on the board.

    I tell ya', there aren't many things that piss me off more than people disrespecting our older generation. It seriously frosts my ###. I just about jumped over that counter to wring the kid's neck.

    Why do we treat our oldest folks the worse? Back when I was in the commercial emergency generator biz, I'd have to visit government subsidized old folks' facilities. You wanna' wake-up call? It's embarrassing how the government spends our money. Really, it is. ####tards, they are.
