    Hey Fozzy-

    I'm curious about the Idle Aire. Do you find that many of them make your truck stink or smell like cigarette smoke? Do they smell funky, like moldy? I read that you got a truck with over 400K on it. That's probably not a bad thing, they'll be trading you out of it before long if it has that many miles. Maybe you'll get lucky and get something new or nearly new. Did you get a FL T2000? Are their in-dash stereos equipped with Sirius if you sign up and pay for it?

    I've got you beat. I have FIVE DAUGHTERS! Why do you think I want to go OTR? LOL. Actually, I'm surrounded by beautiful women, including my wife, so I'm really blessed. Plus, they're all athletes, so parts of it are almost like having boys.

    Hey Big-glad to hear you're kicking butt and taking names over there. I may run into you next week. Not sure which location you're going to the DPS, but I have to go to the Garland office on Monday to pull my MVR. It's the only office in the DFW area that you can do it at. I'll be hitting it in the afternoon, so if I see any guys with Stevens hats on I'll say hey.

    I'm out the door pretty soon. I'm going to watch my nephew play HS football. He's a kicker, and he's awesome. He'll probably get a full ride to a D1 school. My wife and I are getting out the rain gear as we speak. I'll be online later. If you need anything this weekend let me know. I'm close enough that I may be able to come take you to a store if you need. I'll be online later tonight.

    I just signed up this evening, no smells. Funny, you made the same mistake I did. The T2000 is a KW, not a FL and yes that is what I'm in. If you go lease you get to choose between a T2000 or a Pete 387. Fleet just gets T2000, although one guy in my grad class got an old FL, must have been left over.

    You know, I've probably seen those trucks a thousand times and I know they are KW. I have no idea why I wrote FL. Oh well. I like the KW T2000, and I like the Petes too. Not crazy about the FL looks. Since I'm not paying for it I don't care, but if I was leasing, well, that's another story...lol
