    You can't go wrong with Carhartt. I got a lot of their gear now. They have a coat that's designed for working in. It's got the flaps behind the shoulder so you can move your arms freely. I was surprised how easy it was to do labor while wearing it. And it's warm. Usually when I work in a coat I end up taking it off because I feel like a #### penguin while I'm wearing it.

    Generally, if a female buys you clothing, wear it. They know what looks good. Most guys would probably look and dress like hobos if not for their significant others telling them, "you are going to change out of those boots before you leave, right?"

    So I'm coming up on 5 hours at this shipper.

    So that's 3 hours of detention. And this is a most excellent customer and agent, so I know I'll get it.

    But The OM just isn't down with this sitting around stuff.

    Pittsburgh's high temperature breaks a 130-year-old record
    Updated 8:07 PM ET, Sat January 11, 2020
    (CNN) - A typical January day in Pittsburgh means temperatures reach the mid-30s.

    But Saturday's temperatures were a far cry from the usual with the thermometer reaching a sizzling 70 degrees.

    And it wasn't just unusual. The temperature broke a 130-year-old record of 68 degrees set in 1890, according to CNN meteorologist Briana Gordon.

    The higher-than-normal temperatures are due to southerly winds moving upward ahead of a storm system, bringing warm air with it.

    The warm temperatures won't be around for long, though.

    Sunday's high is 48, which means the city will be back to its regularly scheduled programming soon enough.

    No. The old record set in 1890 was due to global warming caused climate change due to drought.

    Well there's good news and bad news.

    Good news is I've been here long enough without moving that I got my hours back.

    Bad news is I'm still here. I'm at the 9 hour mark, which means 7 hours of detention, $350, Landstar gets none ( HAHAHAHAHA), but typically these guys cap it at $350 for the day.

    So I guess I'll make another sandwich and see what happens.
