    Glad yours lets you sleep. when mine has a friend to stay the night I and I am home I think they want to see how far they can push me before I have to tell them to quiet down. It seems that the only thing they know how to do is talk loud and laugh so the people 5 miles down the road can hear them. Most of the time I just go into my bedroom and hide. But all in all they are pretty good girls.

    Hey Brian =

    Yeah I'm still here. Lisa and I just bounced all over the US for the last two weeks, including a 34 in Laramie, WY. We went to Mobile, then Hagerstown, then Richmond, Laramie, Denver, Albuquerque, LA, Salem VA, then home. Just got home this afternoon, and heading back out on Thursday. Been a long, hard running 15 days.

    Hope y'all are doing well

    Home time is complete as of yesterday. Heading to LL in H VA great miles coming off home time. Got lots of the honey to do list done. It's hard to believe the first week of August is almost done all in all.its.been a mild summer compared to recent summers. Just think if about 70 days we will have to worry about snow. Be safe every one. Should be on the Richmond yard tomorrow need to get some new shoes for the truck.

    Don't know. If it's hot, my truck is idling. No one has ever said anything to me about it. Last year they put out a list of idle times by truck number. I would say I was about average. I have asthma so I can't sleep if it's too hot, I thought my idle time would be pretty high, but it wasn't.

    Hey y'all. Been running wide open for the last several weeks. Stopped in Richmond Friday and got to talking to Bill about a rather substantial water leak in the cab. It was determined that I needed to move into another truck. Then I was talking to Sally and the topic of me training again came up. Long story short... looks like I am going to be training again (first stage) and Bill put me in a new Kenworth. So if you see 1546 out and about, come say hi.

    Be safe
