    I was doing good but fell off the wagon. My hot dentist will be disappointed.

    Wonder if she goes home and thinks about me after a visit? All that wasted time in high school when she was annoyed with me could have been spent planning our life together.

    Is your work all direct or do you use some brokers to fill in ?

    Well, more direct then at any other point in the last 15 yrs now. But, still a lot of broker freight for sure. Probably 2m+ worth.

    This year is probably going to see a drop from 8 to 6 but still better then the 5 in 2021. Last year was just insane. It’s hard to wrap one’s mind around that big of a decrease but it’s still over the 3. Something of 2020 and the very high 2’s of 2019 so gotta keep perspective.

    The OM has a dedication for all those with NB. She'd try to explain it, but that would be a waste of time.

    In the day there was this thing called The " Take The Highway tour." If you missed it, well it sucks to be you. This was a little toe tapper from that album's tour, a few tours later lmfao.

    I have no idea, and I don't have a dog (or cat) in this race, but I seem to recall seeing a check in the amount of around 40K that Dave sent to the IRS. And that would have been after all the deductions and depreciation, which can be substantial. Hell, the OM can even right off his showers!
