    At the mothership in Marshfield again tonight. Got moved into my new truck today, found a couple little problems that needed to be fixed and they took care of it pretty quickly. Have been pleasantly surprised that moving from a condo cab into a regular, there's actually more usable space than in the condo.

    Pick up a relay load at the Schofield yard in the morning, then off to St. Paul yard to drop it, then home for Christmas.

    2013 International Prostar, teal-green, with flatbed dressage. First one of Roehl's that I've seen so far in this color. Most of the newer flatbed tractors are silver.

    What a week. Bad weather, bad roads, and bad luck. Watched one guy cream a car in Appleton, round exit 137 on US 41. Not good. Then earlier this week, my cooler died. After 3 months, my 20.00 garage sale cooler that worked so well, bit the dust. Replaced with same model, and it worked like trash. Exchanged it, got one that worked for 1 hour and then didn't. Exchanged for the only other cooler LOVES has a HUMUNGO Coleman, but it works. Only issue, it doesn't fit anywhere convenient in the truck. I need one smaller. Looking at a Schumacher at the local stop near home. Looks right sized for the Prostar. Just need to find out if it works well.

    I've seen guys strap regular coolers of foot on their catwalks during really cold weather.

    What route is that? Most aren't from Chicago. Just call it by the number like everyone else.

    the Edens and bishop run u thru downtown...I think most people on the Roehl check in know that. 94 in Chicago could be interpreted a number of different ways. lol I needed to connect to 57s, cons just s of 80 so route has me go all the way to 80 and then west to 57. no idea why it had me bypass the 57 connection just south of the city...sometimes I wonder how that route generator works...
