    General disclaimer:

    If I'm having a bad day or something ticks me off in going to say so. If I'm upset I'm going to share that. It doesn't mean that I need anybody to put an "S" on their chest and step in to save me by telling me what to do or second guessing everything I've ever said based on a passing emotional state.

    I don't recall ever bad nothing my dispatcher. I've been pretty upset with the company, specifically the power struggle with Heartland. But my Dispatch team is truly the only reason I didn't leave a month ago. They're the main reason I'm even considering sticking around.

    Say what you will about me, disagree with me, you have that right as this is an open public forum. Some of you think I'm some sort of an idiot for still being here, and that's fine. I'll most likely fire back sometimes, but it's all in fun. If it gets personal I didn't make it that way. I'll read your PM's and posts and still enjoy a good meal with you if we ever meet up at a truck stop.

    But please avoid putting words in my mouth. My current dispatch team has gone above and beyond helping me navigate what turned out to be an unfair persecution that has been remedied.

    Winter happens, whether you're in the mountains or shut down in Nebraska from high winds or parked in Michigan because the roads are one big sheet of ice or buried under 17 feet of snow in New England. Nobody likes it, but that's no reason to go second guessing your own preferences.

    So there.

    Little Deli by the Costco--the tomato soup and BLT with avocado restoreth my soul. Time to go play in the snow!

    Welcome to the Internet captain zoom. Just like me or anyone else, we put our stuff out there, we are welcoming comments, suggestions, criticisms and sexual innuendos (my personal favorite).

    I feel a chill in the air. I'm going to put on a sweater. Waiter fetch me a little more salt for my margarita, that's a good fellow. Winters in Tucson can be brutal.

    I prefer the sign that says "This is gonna hurt!" And ACME anvils only, please. As they say, "If it's ACME, it MIGHT work!"

    Additionally, post was meant for humorous purposes. Sorry it didn't come through. My humor requires a physical component. Or people just like laughing at me. Either way, I'm good.

    I'm touchy on account of nervousness about going over this mountain pass empty. Stopping at Walmart in Rifle CO for a few supplies and bathroom break.

    BRSIMS, point well taken and we're canceling the anvil fly by.

    TB JOHN, point well taken on first post.

    TB JOHN and FLATBED:

    THBTHBTHBTHBTHBBBBB! I freezing my Yassoff.

    (FLATBED--I feel for you; at least I have roads to work on)

    Slow down. If there's room at the top, stop, put your 4 ways on, keep her in a low gear and ease down the old girl. Going up the pass is worse empty than coming down. There's nothing pushing you. If you start spinning out, keep calm, put her in a lower gear. Lock your power divider in as well. You'll be fine.
