    Trying to decide if I want to attempt going in now, wait until later, or just wait until tomorrow. This snow needs to come to an end.

    I like the winter temps better than summer, but this day after day snow is getting old. I don't mind a little snow, but these snows that take 2 or more days to clear away are killing my time off that I had hoped to take when it was nice outside. How's the weather where you are IP?

    I rolled in 19:40 last night coughing my head off and chilled to the bone.
    I was at the office until 10:45 yesterday. Went to Pasadena for a pallet then 225 was stop and go to get on 610 North. So I hit 610 West and fought traffic up I-45. Then rushed to the truck stop to hook the trailer. Three pieces about 2 miles (pays the same as ANY airport transfer) then fought the beltway feeder around to get three pieces at 1340#. Then ran to not terribly far from SDV for a pallet at 80#. Dispatch lost the phone system and something was wrong with messaging. Wouldn't have mattered though. By the time I hit SDV again it was too late to do much. Two pieces to US Air one of which was gone over BIG TIME before they accepted it! Then dropped trailer finished logbook and came home!

    BTW there are two boxes in my back seat to deliver this morning because that place SHUTS down at 5PM!

    Patty had to use the bathroom at a budweiser plant
    they gave her directions she got lost
    bells and whistles went off
    she was brought back by security in the golf cart
    and of course it was my fault

    Well, Pete, I'm gonna go for it. I told the boss my biggest worry is getting to work then getting lost for the day in the warehouse. I'm gonna try to sweet talk my way into a ride from one of the guards.

    Be careful and hope you get out of Lamar soon.

    Wet. Snowed a little in NY last night, changed to rain this morning. Gale by the GWB approach... just wet in Jersey. If ya don't like it drive a few miles!

    If ya don't like it, wait 5 ticks!

    Well, yeah! It's in the Rule Book. Hope she got to pee before being intercepted. That's justifiable homicide if she didn't. It's in the Rule Book too!
