    what’s with that anyway? None of the Mexicans at the trailer wash will flush it, they all throw it in the trash cans:eek:

    The sewer system in Mexico won’t handle toilet paper. I reckon whatever that translates to toilet paper in English probably has nothing to do with with toilet in Spanish.

    In many places in Mexico, they don't have the water pressure to push everything out the way it should go. My guess is the paper is put in the trash can provided, because it will clog up the plumbing. However this is my guess from time spent in Mexico. Someone may know better, but I cannot think of any use for the paper. Then the habit has set in and it is hard for them to trust a toilet that works properly.
    ( I see Six beat me to the answer)

    If I had to micromanage the way he’s talking about to make a dollar and be successful I’d quit trucking…..

    I think this is the first time we have ever had all of our equipment in the yard at one time.

    Oh, except our Reitnouer flatbed that I lent to one of our competitors.

    Yes. Not much going on in rivers until runoff is over and in-water work windows open up. We are booked full from mid-June through Thanksgiving anyway, and still bidding work for winter early spring.

    I'm here, kinda... Had the trip from hell a couple weeks back, three service calls for tires and other crap, had to get towed, 5 night stay in a hotel in Missouri, all mostly my fault for not paying attention to a couple things in the end. Some long hard conversations with myself sitting in that hotel. Also burnt the living heck out of my hand that is finely healed... That's how the trip started, should have just turned around and went home after that, that was my initial thought, but decided momma didn't raise a puss and toughed it out. It was a lot of firsts for me, never had a service call on either of my trucks, never been picked up by a hook except for a transmission failure that should have been covered under warranty. Just a long really crappy trip out that made you contemplate all of life's decisions that put you in a hotel in Clinton Missouri for 5 nights. But I am back out there, not much for a nest egg left, but building it back up and charging forward, because I am to dumb to do anything else.
