    I got to roll out of the sack @ 03:30 tomorrow morning and head to no man’s land Nevada to look at a job that another contractor F’d up and they need a life line— I’ll have about a 12 hour drive home to determine how far we will bend them over — you can tell I’m plumb thrilled about this

    Really haven’t had time to work on it, grandson has laid claim to it and wants to work on it so we can haul his race car to the track. I do need to put some time into though, I’d like to do some work on this W9 but I can’t take it off the road that long to do all I want to do. Seen this aerodyne last month in Louisville, Ohio, got me to thinking….

    Unloaded this morning in Anthony, Florida. Called a customer to see if he had anything down here that needed a ride back north, he said no but there’s an auction tomorrow in Davenport but not sure I’ll buy anything. Told him I would hang close just in case he does.

    So I just dropped on down to Wildwood which puts me closer, and while slobbering or I mean looking around the chrome shop I get a call…. Hey Jim, you still in Florida?
    Yep I’m a little south of where I delivered.
    Turns out he has a customer here close that needs his drilling rig hauled up to Ohio to be refurbished. So hopefully tomorrow I’ll have a load going back north one way or another. I’d personally rather haul the rig it will put me closer to the house.

    Makes you feel good when things work out like that…..
