    Just had 5 hours delicious of sleep. Now to catch up on the two pages behind. Will go back to bed when tired. I did try the tylenol for two nights. Third night back was starting to hurt again. Had to stop using it. Only need tylenol when breaking the fever temps. Tho I did try for giggles. Found that one variation of the tramadol that I have (long cylinder shape) tends to make me drowsy.

    Looks like a fortnight player whom cant stop. Tho it is a sense of imagination. Hopefully what ever throwing skills they are using doesnt damage the contents of the boxes. (look at cardboard boxes on top)

    Get 20 or 30 miles out from any decent sized town on some tiny state or county road... Price drops considerably. I got my place for $145k, about 20 couples had looked at it. My realtor told me they all said "Its just to far from civilization." I said "I Wish it was farther from civilization."

    My monthly payment is less than $700 after I put $15k down.

    This is if you have too much time on your hands.

    @Cattleman84 You need to get a FB account. Look up Marketplace and search Lathe. Set price point between 3500-7000. Start drooling, Alot of fine machinery avail. You could do it with out price restrictions. As I have seen some huge lathes going for $500 (the price of scrap) as the owner just wants to get rid of it.

    I'm delivering to the Major National Brand Ketchup Plant as we speak.

    I get a call from night dispatch wondering where I am.

    Tells me I'm supposed to be on a different load. Some driver is at the terminal looking for the paperwork.

    Short version: "Guess again, fella. All my bol numbers match what's on PNet. Someone ####ed up but it ain't me."

    Oh, yeah......dayshift musta double booked it.

    "I'M where I'm supposed to be. Buh-BYE!"

    I had to fix a leaky coupler, and I got corn syrup all over my gloves and flashlight...and it's the "thick as snot" grade of corn syrup. Schtuff is almost as bad as fifth wheel grease. It gets EVERYWHERE!

    But, the rain stopped, and it's too cold for the bees, so there IS that.......

    New crapcadia life has crashed at the Ryder shop for a pm. I attempted to tell the tech of minor issues which got a response of weeeelll I don’t know about that. Before I left on this trip I told the boss I needed a substantial raise to come on full time. His response was that seems reasonable I’m thinking darn I left money on the table. I’m secretly hoping they say no it’s been so long since I’ve had a real job I’ve been enjoying life as a gypsy.

    I’m woke. Picking up a Load of Tractors. Light 18k Load. MPGs are up a bit. 5.5 w/43k Load I brought home. Not bad, considering idle time and hammered down, and the cross wind. If I can get 6 mpg on this trip. It will be a good sign. If not, I’m going to put a winter front on it, and let it run i a little hot to break it in
