    Phoenix is hot. 80 degrees and its night time. Should be able to squeeze in a 34 then run hard back home for hometime. I guess Ion is having a Lethal Weapon marathon today. That's OK cause I love those movies.

    OCHELATA, Oklahoma -

    Washington County Sheriff's deputies received more reports of Walmart trucks hit by bullets late Monday on Highway 75.

    Undersheriff Steve Johnson says several trucks arrived at the Walmart distribution center near Ochelata early Tuesday with bullet holes.

    He says they are working with the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, but it appears the trucks were struck by bullets as they headed north on Highway 75 between 106th Street North and Highway 20 in Tulsa County.

    In addition, a Bartlesville Police also took a report of a truck struck by bullets after a driver made it to the Bartlesville Walmart store. The driver got to the store and when he checked his trailer, he found three bullet holes.

    A police report indicated all of the shots appeared to have come from the west side of Highway 75.

    One driver noticed four bullet holes on the driver’s side of his rig.

    A Walmart spokesperson said the company doesn’t believe their trucks were targeted because a passenger car and a Swift trucking rig were also struck.

    In total, 13 bullets hit five vehicles Sunday night.

    Deputies consider the crime assault with a deadly weapon and will continue to investigate.

    Happy they caught those idiots.

    Finally loaded. Crazy that the smaller order (6 pallets) took longer than the bigger order. Had to wait for it to come in from Mexico. We don't even grow our own green bell peppers anymore. SMH. On my way to KC then should get a load home.

    I need a tablet! I have a standard laptop that I lug around when traveling. 4.5 lbs never felt so heavy as when carrying it around in the heat of SE Asia along with all of my other gear.

    I am looking at buying a standard android based unit and loading my own android based, trucker GPS or maybe buying the TDN tablet 80.

    How goes it with your unit Jaso? Can you load other stuff like podcasts (mp3 files) onto that RM unit. I like stuff on the RM unit, I just need to figure out if everything is so proprietary that you can't integrate outside apps, programs and stuff with it.

    Regardless, it looks like I will have to keep my laptop in the truck to run my windows based logs with it.

    It's like any other tablet. I think it's an Android operating system. You could probably do your logs on it. I don't use most of it but it has a ton of options.
