    Well...
    730 appointment in the morning, dude is going to unload me tonight, the electric tarp decided to not work.
    So after climbing around under the trailer, to the frame and wollering up under the support structure, an then an HOUR of being above the fifth wheel on the fence of trailer wadded up like...like... like a snake corked in a bottle, I trace, oh.. 2 miles of electrical wires, white, red,black and green.
    I’d have thought black was ground but NO.
    It’s green. Colorblind electrician I guess.
    ‘‘Twas a challenge climbing back down in the dark without slipping, if that happened you’d be.. be...denutted on the small drive shaft. Is denutted a word...?
    Anyway.

    That didn’t work, it’s grounding out some freakin where.
    So... take this 5/8 big grade 8 bolt out, standing on a concrete pillar I backed beside, and arms over head.
    I feel as if I been trying to weight lift a 300lb woman.

    But I put the manual tank back on, and muscled that pos tarp open, then they got sample and had to muscle that pos back closed.

    And did I mention.. it’s Taining, I’m soaked.
    Got two more loads booked, and this pos trailer is going to the shop.


    Good Times.

    You cracker guys should try a box of wheat thin tomato and basil. So good plain you can eat them like chips. Put a slice of sharp cheese on them and they are slap your momma kind of good. Give it a try. I ain't lying. They are beyond tasty.

    Chaser, maybe? Hope it's a good bourbon that will take the edge off that Pabst.

    Whatever happened to carob?
    The substitute for chocolate.
    Time was you could not turn around in the grocery store snacks aisle without seeing at least a dozen carob products.
    Now I hardly see it.
    Then again, I haven't been looking too hard.
