    Alright got unloaded and reloaded today...now at the second stop to continue to get loaded....I wasn't supposed to be here til 1800 tomorrow...but I was only 5 hours away in Massachuttes...so I rolled into Fogelville....then I am supposed to be in Leesport Pa the day AFTER tomorrow at 1800....gee I don't know if I can make it 30 miles in 24 hours......hopefully I can get loaded here early and in leesport early...cause then I got me an easy roll west to Lincoln....

    I am taking the 22nd to the 28th off to take care of some personal buisness...got to get my stuff from Florida to Sheldon.....then slowly collect everything again that I need to live....(furniture, dishes and such)...

    I swear this pos truck is gonna be the death of me....finally got my load dropped into harrisonburg, and had to take the truck into eddie's for the a service, and to have that cold water leak looked at. Only had to wait 2 hours, then they washed the truck, went back to the yard to grab my jefferson,wi load. Got down as far as white's since my 14 was running out again, only to find now my sleeper dome lite will not work...now wtf ,did these worthless pos dimwits at eddies even do anything with the water leak??. How do those idiots at eddies even stay in business? Tries calling them to ask what they did to this thing, but no answer, they wouldn't even answer any questions while i was there. I'll call cory tomorrow and tell them NEVER, EVER send me to eddie's for even so much as air filter change again, i'd love to take that stupid race car of theirs and send it off of a 1000' high cliff with everyone of those moron excuses for a mechanic strapped to it! :smt093:violent1::angry4: Looks like I'll just have to buy a camp lantern(LED of course) and rig it up until i get this ####pile truck into sheldon.
