    I couldn't figure out why you were flustered Brett - I'm just another dumb truck driver like the rest of us here!

    What I should have done is whipped out the recording gear and grabbed you for a quick interview for the Boob Tube channel. I had the time and it was a nice day there.

    Congratulations on the weight loss - you certainly are not a F4T Guy at all.

    Blair.

    I just figured since she autographs her paintings so nice,
    She would be the one to do it.:)

    She's absolutely up for the task - we just need to know how much Sharpie we need to fill the boob involved!

    I prolly woulda pooped a little and tried to do the interview in Spanish. Woulda made an interesting TikTok though.

    On another note, that hard starting issue I told you about mysteriously worked itself out as of that morning I saw you. Has fired right up ever since. Strange. Maybe it just needed to run after sitting for a while. Just gonna keep an eye on things and try not to question the humor of the gods for the time being.

    Had a LS driver die over the weekend and I am driving his truck and trailer back to his family.
    My first time to use a eld. My sympathies for everyone that has them, what a pain to learn.

    The sad part is he new he was sick(heart)
    Was going to see doc when he got home.
    From where the truck was parked you can see OU Medical Center and the VA hospital. But stubborn truck drivers.

    Unfortunately a buddy of mine was telling me about a friend of his and fellow LandStar owner op last week. 62 years old had a massive heart attack and passed away waiting to get loaded at a military base in Ky. Thank you for getting his rig as I am sure his family really appreciates you doing so.
