I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

That's no mannequin, just a big dummy.

 

Bradley GT on a '78 VW Super Beetle chassis, Porsche 2.0 liter power with fuel injection, Porsche 901 5speed tranny, and disc brakes (all sourced from a wrecked 914). Was gonna buy it a while back but it needed finished (headlight covers, rear glass, door/window units, rear glass, dash, interior). Dude called me to give me one last crack at it before he ships it off to some dentist in Brazil. Sigh. Some day, but not today.

 

MWUHUHUHUHOHOHOHOHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

 

Overloaded at Southwest Paper in Ft Worth, and couldn't make it back before they close for the weekend. Gotta run it to our drop yard in Garland, then deadhead to Mansfield for the next one. Bleagh.

 

Well, this has been a horrible day so far. Nothing going just right and the whiny attitude is because I may be coming down with something (no energy, head muddy). Gotta pick up at IP in Mansfield LA in a minute (drop and hook) which can take a while so stopped at the Eagle truck stop for lunch and bathroom before going in. Headed to Spartanburg SC Monday morning then to Prosperity SC for pickup going to Hopkinsville KY. It's been a little slow lately as IP has reduced capacity on a few of their mills for a few weeks while they upgrade some equipment and stuff...my miles are a little down. Risinger is expecting freight to pick back up soon as our second biggest customer gets their mills back on line and to capacity. Til then, patience is called for. Just wish I could shake this lethargic, disconnected feeling.

In other news, my daughter made it home safely from college. Her luggage--notsomuch. The airline offered to deliver it to her at home when it finished its detour.

Also, the goat is back.

 

Watching A Million Ways to Die in the West. Day...better. Not since Blazing Saddles....

 

Broke down in Spartanburg (trailer problems). The T/A is so backed up they can't even start on me til tomorrow morning. Roadside Revenue Enforcement 2015 starts at midnight tonight. I'm waiting til morning.
