    I just might drop my "no coffin sleeper" clause for a chance to steer and gear that beauty. My dumb ### would probably buy a Eby hopper bottom to put behind it or maybe a Mac dump bucket.

    Just got back to my shack. Have a bunch of work for tomorrow. Went to hook up the trailer at 4:30 and the little finger that trips the fifth wheel lock broke. (Little finger probably isn’t the correct term.) anyways spent the next six hours pulling it all apart. Welded the finger back and reassembled the fifth wheel. I so wanted to tell them it was a no go, but I made promises to be there at 7 am. And it’s about 6 grand for a day and a half of work. So I didn’t want to say no.

    I hate owning a truck some days.

    Still here still hauling the freshest pork around. My daily driver is in the shop for service so I got the W9 with yellow under the hood and an 18 comin up out of the floor. I thought I hit my head a lot in a pot, this flat bottom bout to wear me slick already.
