    Lets laugh...
    Several years back, a couple of dudes hit the MS scales on I55 south of Memphis with a broken and pasted vent glass passenger side. Alert weighmaster took it as a possible stolen truck and stalled them till MSHP got there. A search revealed a large amount of cash.

    Truth was, they owned the truck, glass had been broken be some thief trying to pry in the week before, they had cashed out all their available assets AND WERE ENROUITE TO THE BORDER TO BUY A LOADOF MARIJUANA.
    all this was in the papers here for weeks...

    I would hate to be of Latino appearance, having to use a rental car with TX plates, returning home to Tupelo from my daughters home in Round Rock then, coming in to Shreveport EB on 20., and seeing the LA sheriff sedan and SUV with the dog, sitting in the median nosed outward and east, Made me "twitch" even in my little ISUZU pickum up truck... I said: Self; you make yours legally, relax... Sides, you are not carrying enough to interest them...

    Well I spent most of today working on something I got myself into, without proper research into the equipment.
    Property owner/ friend asks yesterday "can you take a look at my boat, I want to get it running and it won't turn over, OK. Go there said boat has no batteries, half the spark plugs are out of the heads and rusted over laying in the engine bay and half the plug wires are missing. He's going to pick plugs and wires on the way back from Seattle. Look closer and points and rotor are missing. This B.O.A.T. is highly likely too turn into Bust Out Another Thousand, for him.

    That was very hurtful. You know I’m insecure about my drinking habits

    When your first stop is an entire trailer by itself.

    You make it happen with a permanent Conestoga.

    It's all over but the crying, gotta take a pause from the "you've gotta be kidding me LTL cause" and wish my friends on WIIS a happy Thursday. I'm about to head on out.
