    Sitting at home, was supposed to be in Montrose, Co. loading today. Put my chains on this morning at the 260 WB, only to have my windshield wipers quit working. Had to tuwn around an limp 17 miles back to the yard in a blinding snow, pretty much did it by feel (funny I didn't feel anything either). Then spent the next 3 hrs helping the boss work on it to get the #### thing fixed. The bolt which tights the clamp for the wiper arm to the motor came loose and allowed the arm to fall off, then the whole contraption got out of alignment. Once it was fixed, they told me to go home, it was too late to leave for Montrose, plus I had already been on the clock for 4 hrs at that point and it wouldn't have mattered. So, came home shoveled the 10" of snow off my driveway, took a nap, and now I'm contemplating heading to the bar for a cold one and burger for lunch then back home and back to bed so I can leave out at 2:45 tomorrow for the pickup I missed today.

    Seriously, Otter? You had to have done that on purpose.

    I was taught in fourth grade that "ma'am" was the contraction for "madam."
