    I got home at 5pm, just soaking in the tub now.
    Yep. Thought that, too.

    I feel the same way about their red beans n rice.

    I LOVE me some WH! And I'm a transplanted east coast native.

    Yeah, the haters call it the "Awful Waffle".
    They generally end up in shallow graves behind the building....

    I don't know if they fixed it, but it would block out "retard", even if you were talking about ignition timing.

    Also, I delivered in Michigan this week.

    I saw a few of the new MSP sport-ute vehicles with the LED "bubble" light on top.

    Disgusting.

    If you're going for more visibility, MSP, then use flashers in the bumper or back window. (Which they did.) BUT...that stupid flasher on top looks like a construction vehicle.

    Shoulda stayed with the old-school two-beacon rotating light.

    I didn't notice, but I'll bet you jerks took the "shark fin" off the hood, too.
    .........

    Yesterday, since I had insufficient hours to make it home after my delivery in London, KY, I schemed while unloading.

    "Surely,", I thought to myself, "there must be a truck friendly way to get to Corbin from here without backtracking to I75."

    I checked map and gps, and there IS a way....

    So I had pork 3 ways at Sonny's for dinner last night.

    Back out on the super slab Monday, on the Triangle Of Pain (Cinci, Chicago, Albany NY, Cinci.)


    In other news, me & Missus S just bought our first washing machine.

    She said, "I feel more 'married', now!"
    (It'll be 27 years if we make it to November)

    Our laundromat days are FINALLY over!

    And yes, we already had a dryer, courtesy of a freshly-divorced co-worker a few years back.

    That's all. Gotta freshen up the bubbles.

    So the only thingy on is the MIL light when I turn on the key after shutdown.

    This place has no DEF filter. Dude says the next TA shows 2 in stock.

    But that's near the stealership, so if they don't I'll get one Monday for sure.

    Went through two t shirts today. Two. Total BS.

    Define fairing.

    Well it disabled my cruise as well. So it would probably be better.

    I think not derated though, cause I can gain some speed or maintain it up hill.

    A think that is equal aka fair. But it's active so innnnnggggggg.

    I have a mid roof. Great for an empty step deck with low tarped loads. Vans kind of sucks to use with.
