    Not sure who was too short, me or you?

    I said that I always save the URLs of sites that I want to visit in the future into my bookmarks for Mozilla Firefox (my browser of choice) and that all of my browser tabs that are open in Mozilla Firefox are automatically saved and are all supposed to open again when I open Firefox after a shutdown of Firefox (never works after I reboot the entire computer) but that occasionally the 14-20 tabs I had open at the end of my last browsing session do not reopen when Firefox is closed and reopened. That necessitates having to go through my pretty extensive list of bookmarks to open only the tabs that I had open at the time Firefox was closed. I do not complain about it if Firefox closed due to an unforeseen error on a website I had opened or if I closed it or if I had to reboot the computer. Only irritating when someone else has used my computer, asked what to do when they were finished, I specifically tell them "close the tab you were using" and they close the entire browser instead and then Firefox does not do what it should have done - opening the tabs I had open when it was closed (I would not mind an extra tab opening at that point). Guess I should mention that I have a computer that has 2 GB RAM but that seems to run slower than any I have had in the past.

    Hubby dropped his first load in Van Buren, Arkansas, went to Fort Smith, Arkansas to get his new load to go to Georgetown, KY. Does not get far down the road and notices that the transmission is not working correctly, does Qualcomm and gets told to get to the NLR Maverick terminal to get it worked on - he spent night at home and I drive him back to the NLR terminal. While there, he has me park car near driver's lounge so he can turn in the paperwork from Blue Cross Blue Shield about creditable coverage turned in and I can get a coffee. I have some of his truck supplies in the car. So, he starts over to the shop to find out where his truck is and, on the way over, he says (exact quote) "Move the truck" (I drive a Chevy Cavalier) and I say (normal tone) "Move the truck?" (Me again, just quite loudly this time) "RIOT ACT!" He quickly turned and said "I meant move the CAR so it is next to my truck!"

    He is now on his way to Georgetown, KY.

    GulfPort, Ms.. truck went in shop for B Service, they had it all day and fixed my air horn ('ell yeah baby) and tighten up some bolts on the frame, now i gotta take it down the road to another shop to get a three axle alingment.. load delivers in Houston, Tx tomorrow, it's an all day, drop in hook, so no worries. this is just going to mess with my miles a little because my dispatcher is out until Thursday, and it's kinda tuff to get reloaded after 1400.

    Hubby just got told about his next load, it is to be picked up 82 miles from where he is now in Georgetown, KY and is going to Lindsey Rd in Little Rock, AR - I told him I pass the exit for Lindsey Rd when traveling between home and Maverick's terminal. He said, "Well, I guess I get home time this weekend, then."

    Harrisburg, PA.

    Guess my message on the QC struck a nerve....pre-planned on the next two loads...VA to OH, then OH to WI. At least it'll make the week worthwhile.
