    l'm surprised it is still a TA. It was a 76 before that. l got stuck there over Christmas in1977. Myself and 3 other drivers. The manager was a single woman. She invited all of us to her apartment for the holiday. We all went.

    Chemo might not be too bad. The first session usually takes awhile 'cause they want to see how well you're tolerating whatever they're giving you.
    Are they going to put on a Neulasta patch for you to go home on after each session? That was the only thing I had a reaction to but they have some great drugs for nausea and they're not shy about prescribing them.
    I went through six rounds of chemo and twenty one radiation treatments for Lymphoma in 2016 and other than temporarily losing all my hair I can't say that the side effects were too bad.
    Sure as hell beats the alternative.
    I wish you all the best.

    Its loads like this that i wish i was a dock bumper. About 7ft tall from deck to top of engine. Trying to get tarps up and over was impossible with one person. Got an air force guy to come help me, he was way buffer and stronger than me and between the two of us we barely did it. To top it off , typical 30 mph wind . Them ####ers are heavy . Looks like a dang balloon going down the road , but its all covered. Maybe i just need a conestoga.

    Buy a roll of solid-core rubber rope, get some j-hooks, and make your own. It's a lot cheaper and you can make them any length you want.

    I've got about 200 on the truck lol.

    But for real, on loads like that. Put your straps over your tarps.

    Also get them up higher. Use that top row of rings.
