    Got my first ever oversized load on the deck. Butt pucker factor turned up to 11.

    Going to Oxon Hill Maryland for Friday delivery. Bout an hour from the Texas/Arkansas state line. Hope to make it to cookeville Tennessee tomorrow night. But we shall see.

    The load is ####y enough without the oversized pieces... and it's heavy on the ###... we're talking 24k on the drives and a 17/17 split on the spread. Not too happy about that but it'll ride.

    Went to the dentist to have a broken tooth/crown fixed. He wanted to pull it and put an implant in. After getting a $3500 estimate, I told him no. His next option was to put a stud into the root canal channel and attach another crown. My cost, $653. As I sit here in my chair, I think Option C, a ball bat to the jaw, would have been more pleasant. Not much of a pill guy, but I'm currently waiting on the tylenol to kick in.

    So far we've hauled 61 loads, over 240 tons of fill dirt, 200 miles and all of that in an old 94 F350 with a 460 big block...

    She's getting a work out, we estimated 4 tons a load but I've had probably double that on some of the loads...

    The road is getting a little muddy, we're Hauling the machine out tomorrow after 4 or 5 more loads of fill and a load of coal for the stove in the garage.

    Loading tomorrow afternoon for a nuclear plant in Georgia.
