    I was thinking of hollering at you a while back but didn't think you were still around.

    I might be mistaken but I thought you had bought a set of knives you really like. I'm looking for a new set and couldn't remember what you got and was wondering if you still liked them.

    Barely an OD move on the black one, he's only 9-6W going to Jamestown, NY. You missed the circus earlier in the week with 3 of my T-8's taking supers out to Long Island, NY.

    Rick and I are doing well, Rick is still mean as the day is long. We're down to just 3 of us in the office now, Bailey found her way out the door a while back and we're no longer going to have operational staff at outside terminals besides the regional managers (Myself and Steve V) and of course local drivers/warehouse staff, so as people leave from remote locations, they are being replaced in Arlington.

    I seen the separation come through the system for you a while back, hope you are doing well. If you ever want to come back, I'll have a seat for you.

    Still around, just always so far off the lead lap I never have much time to check in over here. Right now I'm fighting the battle of every load I move, I have to turn down 4. It's nice that my drivers are in high demand but these poor guys have been running ragged for a year now, always against their 70 clock and they're getting burned out.

    As for my last set of knives I got, still have and still very impressed with, they are Zwilling J. A. Henckels. I don't remember the series but I will say this, if you go looking at Henckels, make darn sure you are getting the ones made in Germany. They also sell knives that look identical that are genuine Henckels that are made in China. Still good knives that hold an edge very well when compared to other brands of the same origin however nothing compared to the edge you can get and keep on the one's made in Germany. Just NEVER put them in the dishwasher, Henckels, Wusthof or any of the other Germain made knives, it will ruin them pretty quickly. Stay far away from any that advertise as "ever sharp" or "self sharpening", these all use micro serrations on the edge, cannot be sharpened and will be junk in no time at all, especially if you accidentally run them against glass or any other hard surface. Glass will take the edge off any knife but at least with a true edge, a minute with a steel and you can have it right back where it was. With one of the ever-sharp, you can toss it in the rubbish bin, it's done.

    Yes, they were loosey based on the gn. It has a great history and the guy who designed it was a pimp!

    I did drive one. Never owned one. I am sick, and enjoy the uncertainty. You had to be a driver if you had the sack to stuff it!

    Awd turbo eclips was the same way. Its gonna go, left, right, maybe up? Who knew.

    I had a adrenaline problem in a past life.
