    Not sure divine is how to describe a burger?, but dammmmmmm!! It was excellent.

    I opt for no jalapeño, but was perfect. Pink center, & those are house made potato chips also.

    Messy Impala is a good description. Musta used half dozen napkins or my PBR would've been cheese covered too..

    With the Yorks I found that the compressors were cheap enough and long lasting enough that I would go through 2 or 3 clutches for the life of the compressor. Mine lasted 2 to 3 times as long as my buddies sandons.
    Another buddy tried the rebuild trick and it lasted for one season and my new York was still going 5 years later. Flush the lines with methyl hydrate.
    If you think a seal is all you need check for crank runout

    My go to joke if I stop for fast food junk, and they ask for a name on the order . . .

    If you get it, you get it. The kid didn't even blink an eye - turns out his name was Mariah. Lol.

    I'll usually use something like Stephanie, or Jacinda or something, but I heard that song the other day and went with it. Usually gets a couple of giggles, but - apparently these days - not so much.

    If I get any closer @TX2Day PP - I'll burst into flames. But churches need new roofs too, so I'm taking the risk.

    The load I've got on was the only one of 5 that I called that was not an out of country idiot. I told the guy it was nice to talk to an American that actually had the freight.

    Super Ego called me for the 5th time today wanting to know if I wanted to lease a truck and work for them. Girl was from Serbia, working out of Boston - calling through a Columbus,OH number. I had a long chat with her about rates and business, and kindly asked her if she would take me off their call list.

    Somehow we made it out of LA before traffic was real bad.. that city is much more nicer when you don't sit in traffic for 3.5 hours in the morning and another 3.5 in the afternoon

    She looked at the order for few seconds, then yelled "Mikey!! Orders up!!" Lol :rolleyes:

    Nice insulation by the way.
    For some reason I enjoy trucking that crap..
