    What, you mean like the one I saw in my inbox this morning?

    Something about where you like putting those cheesesticks... At least you won't need ky, they are greasy enough on their own.

    I'm still wondering how duo found out about it...

    I ate at a TA last night... Soup and salad (yeah, bad for me...I know.) but they must be hurting bad here. Soup was so watered down you could almost see through it. Didn't even have tomatoes and carrots out... Oh well. I REALLY wanted some veggies.

    Reminds me of a stein mart I had to unload at this week. Wished I had taken pictures, but I'll post up google maps images later.

    Hey hey! I resemble that remark!

    Wait. What...? No pants? So, you're holding a six incher in one hand and another inch in the other hand. ...what in god's green earth were you holding the steering wheel with?

    Hey now...if you're backing up with your pants off, keep that to yourself.

    There's a feeling I am beginning to know all too well...

    So is backing in high reverse while holding a sammich. Didn't stop you from doing that! :p

    Liars always lie. You can count on a liar to lie, so that means they are trustworthy. It's those honest folks, always gotta watch them as you never know what they'll do......

    My laptop has a fingerprint reader... Heh... Automatically skips the password page and asks for your fingerprint. Deters any snoopers. ;)

    See above. Lol

    From the way @PackRatTDI talks, I'm surprised he even needs a porn collection...

    Shenandoah SVC after 11 hr break down been up 24 hours on a non fuel svc, if no freight I will drive empty back to Charlotte, repair is finally complete and I am on my 10 with break down pay added for a blown power steering pump. 1 mechanic didn't show and 2nd came from Harrisburg which is why I stayed on break down so long. I missed a 190 run after running from Knoxville to hear so I think I may have faired better on break down depending on how you look at it.

    I am positive that the fruits, vegetables, herbs in America don't taste like the ones in Brasil... No matter what supermarket I go, in a big city or in a small town... For instance, cilantro here has absolutely no smell and no taste...:biggrin_25513: I don't even know what that is good for here... :dontknow: It has a very strong and distinguished smell and taste in Brasil... it's used for seasoning and it makes dishes so much more delicious...
    The spinach here is another thing that tastes very different, so is the corn and the carrots, and some beans, and the lettuce and the cabbage, and the yucca, I know folks may not know what yucca is... :biggrin_25512: I could go on and on... I think it might be not only the chemicals used in America for growing produce, but also the way it's grown in mass production and the soil and the weather....
    Oh yeah... Florida has a HUGE Brazilian community, so it's "easy" to find Brazilian food and fruits like the Jackfruit, "jaca" as it's called in Brasil.
    I disagree with you about being able to find any food I want anywhere in America. If you are in a major city, you may be able to find a restaurant specialized in some food from some foreign country... like China, India, Brasil or whatever... depending where in America you are... and the food would probably cater to American taste most likely instead of their own...
    If I were in Fort Lauderdale, FL I might be able to find some Brazilian restaurant, offering dishes with rice, beans, light cooked vegetables, maybe some fried yucca (if I were lucky) all cooked the Brazilian way if the cooks were Brazilian... but still the herbs would not taste like the ones that are found only in Brasil ...:biggrin_25512:
    But here in Rawlins, WY... not a chance... :biggrin_25512:
    Also tried to find some Brazilian food in OKC... wishful thinking... :biggrin_2557:

    you all talk too #### much... Got 210 posts to go.

    Yeah, I'm good. I thought there was a 48 hour period where I couldn't work, but called up dsp on Monday and said, "I'm good!"

    She said, "then git chur ### moving boy!"

    They've kept me busy since Monday midday...

    For anyone that can get by a harbour freight, I'd highly recommend this one...

    image.jpeg

    Hook on the top, strong magnet on the bottom. Illuminates most docks my utility lamps can't cut through. Comes with an AC and 12v charger. Just used it today to unload the truck. Stuck it to the side of the trailer on "high mode" and didn't event have to strain my eyes.

    Same here. No worries, I'm sure you're close encounter with the third kind will come soon enough! :D

    Oooh... I like that! Haha!

    Hey hey hey! ...I pull white trailers too you know! :p

    I think a good portion of us would say that the female half is the better half...I know I would.

    I still scratch my head in confusion.

    I would ask... But I've seen enough swift/central drivers to know better.

    ...oh come now duo. I haven't even been to Cali and I spotted it.

    No worries... I had a sub and coldstone creamery for lunch... I splurged big time.

    But after today, it was well deserved.

    Nope. I'm still trying to be a vampire driver. ...so technically I'm just undead.

    -sigh-

    No. No. I wished. That's on the 16th of October when my better half and I leave.

    Oh I had a front row seat last night... Driver parked in the fuel island while eating his dinner. Admitted it out loud in front of the entire place at the TA and had no hint of shame.

    Looked over at the driver grabbing a salad plate and asked, "parked in the fuel island, eating dinner and proud of it."

    He shook his head, "some folks have lots of balls and no #### clue what to do with them."

    I suggested getting one of my padlocks and attaching it to his trailer... The driver at the salad bar with me liked that idea.

    Ended up having a good conversation over dinner.

    Shhh... Be vewy vewy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits.

    image.jpeg

    But...that would've affected his bonus!

    It's not his fault! It was the gps!

    At least that's what duo's ex-cre driver says... Credible info there!

    By the way, that backup job you did... Is that about 40(?) miles from the Dallas OC? I think they ship off generator or AC casings... Either way, it's big aluminum housing modules for something.

    If so, I've been there before. Wasn't terrible, but it wasn't easy either.

    Just kinda reminds me of that place...
