    We have advanced the load an additional 462.6 miles.

    MPG has plummeted to 7.7 due to a non indigenous storm near and around Tucson.

    The OM is still pleased however. And has authorized a Starbucks for outstanding performance.

    Yeah, it DOES seem wonky today. Every time I try to make a post, I get the three dots chasing each other in the upper right corner, then the post box goes black, and I figure, "Well, screw it", get back to the forum a half hour later, and my post is up.

    There must be a cat loose in the server room.

    Finally got the load on, parked at the Rutter's down the street, gonna hit the rack and run under cover of darkness.

    I told the travel agent I'll be there by 10am. If I make it by 11AM I'll take it.

    I finally remembered that there's an Amish bakery a block up the street from the shipper, so while I was waiting for my paperwork I walked my Big Fat Fatness up there and picked up a few goodies. Can't wait to try 'em out.

    Well, that's it for me. Gotta call Missus Skillet, then turn in. G'nite!
