    So... mechanic found a leakage underneath radiator... I haven't seen that... even when I squat yesterday morning... there was no wetness on the ground... :biggrin_25512: Anyway... will have to stay here for the weekend... Load I was going to deliver in SLC will have to be covered by some other driver.. DSP has someone in mind who may be here this weekend... Cause I don't want to use another truck... :biggrin_25512: Will wait till "mine" is fixed...
    And it seems my power inverter will not be installed this time...:biggrin_25513: cause they are too busy and don't have enough time to do it all... Good thing I haven't bough the power inverter yet...
    So... Ms. Safety boss lady asked me if I want to go to hotel across the street for the weekend... hmmmm... tough decision.... I would MUCH RATHER stay in the truck where I can cook but there's nothing in this yard other than a portable outside... no sink, no water for the whole weekend... a gas station a block away...
    So... I am still reluctant but willing to go to hotel... and take ALLLLLL my cooking stuff with me... box with cookware, stove, bag of rice, bag of granola, cooler (gotta take the dolly too), laptop, bag with personal stuff, bag with few other miscellaneous.... :biggrin_2552: and then, take ALLLLL that back to company on Monday...

    Ohhh and Yeah... I had a nice talk with Ms. Safety boss... and she told me she will have a talk with Mr. director of operations about the PTI... Whatever they do, I will not ask him to correct my elogs any more... :biggrin_25512: All this crap would not happen if they allowed us to make corrections on lines 1, 2 and 4 by ourselves... But nope... they gotta do it for us... :biggrin_25510:

    sounds like a good idea, Don. I'll go ahead and stick my neck out for you on this one and pass it up the Chain of Command. Let's see, this might manage to get looked at on the First Quarterly Meeting next year if it's deemed worthy 3 layers up. hmmm .... that means, we might see a memo on upcoming changes in about the Fifth Quarter of 2019. :biggrin_2558:

    Sigh. Another three day.
    I asked if three a day is the new rule. He sent no.
    I later informed him that except for two on Tuesday it's been three each day this week.
    1: SDV to KLM with 631#
    2: Texas Oilpatch in Pasadena to Oceanex off 8 on the other side of Houston 585# Tarped
    3: Pick up at Central Freight 1161# Tarped and take it a few miles to World Trade Houston.
    I sent the question not long after empty at World Trade. Sent the info about 4:40.
    Got home 6:25 after stopping at Office Max for some more of my favorite Pilot G2 .7MM Pens.
    Got some Titanium 9MM snap blades for my pocket carried Olfa SVR-2.
