    Make sure you remember the model number of your parrot for when the batteries go bad. Cheaper to order a new set of batteries, than to buy a new headset. Different models DO NOT use the same batt.

    Just curious, anybody else having problems with their phone and headset losing connection after awhile?

    Got to the receiver at 115pm today, took 2.25 HOURS to, remove/fold my tarps, take off and put away all the chains/binders/straps! lol

    Then i headed southish about 45 min to the Pilot on 57 just south of 80 in IL


    I have to load some pipe tomorrow about 2 hours south at 8am. I need dunage....couldnt find a homedepot or lowes to save my life. Call shipper and ask if they have any i can buy or if they supply it....she says "i think so...we sure buy a lot of it" (insert Beach slap smiley here)

    and she also said after i asked, that there is a lumber yard in town as well....

    they better have 4x4s.....lol

    be carefull going up to the copper mine, and what ever you do DONT pass there exit/rd you do NOT want to get stuck up there with a big truck (its restricted anything over 26' if i remember right.) Going up MT is easy...comeing back down heavy sucks lol. at least you can skip the NM scale by going to the pilot to scale though lol

    Was wondering if that was the mine you went too, did you go back down to the 10 on 191? sounds like you took US70 to Lordsburg. I know you cant go north on that 191 so going to the 40 is kind of out.

    Eeeeww, are you getting those bags of ore from south of Phx? Hated that place. Hated the little "class" I had to take when I checked in. Hated the pissy attitude of the dude on the fork (the lady on the fork was absolutely kewl. Actually spoke to me like a human being). Hated those bags that wanted to come open too. I ended up tarping them even though it wasn't required.

    I only took mine over to Riverside, CA though. Weight wasn't too much of an issue.

    No, that's the metal softener stuff from Green Valley, AZ. That's junk freight, this is rolls of copper were talking about and it's by the NM border.
