    Well, friends and neighbors, it is a glorious freakin' day here at the TA in Wytheville. Clear blue skies as far as the eye can see, and a balmy 64F out there. Walked 7 laps around the parking lot to get the blood flowing, and had a Gatorade run to Indy waiting for me on the QC by the time I got back in the truck. Gonna finish up my breakfast of strawberry and pineapple and hit the road.

    This Marathon has a little grill. Best basic eggs, bacon, biscuit and gravy breakfast I've had in a long time. Can't wait for lunch.

    My power to my master bedroom, outlets, fan and switches quit. The rest of the house is fine. We checked the breaker box, it's not tripped. Help!!!!

    Sometimes the breaker will phantom trip. Meaning, the breaker did trip, but is not showing a trip.

    Try flipping that breaker off, then back on. Then check your MBr.

    If you still have issues, let me know. You will need a multi meter if further troubleshooting Iis required.

    (Or call and have me routed that way. I have my basic tools on board. LOL)

    I'm on my way to the land of Zzzzzzz to atone for my goof. I'll do my best to answer your questions in a timely manner @JohnBoy . I'll PM my cell to ya. But I'll be on an early shift for a few days. Getting up at 11PM to head out at midnight when my recap hrs hit.

    But, I'll answer while I'm still awake.
     
    Lonesome and JohnBoy Thank this.

    Naw... you still get an atta Boy... :)

    You opted to run the last three hours of your clock instead of sitting and didn't shut down until a minute left on the clocks... WOW

    You are now three hours closer to the drop and you were controlling the clock instead of the clock controlling you.

    And a simple misread of the QC?
    Heck I did that today too.

    I was going to take an 8/2 last night so I could roll right after the drop. But, the other driver called ahead to be unloaded first at the BH Drop since he had one case (wrapped solo on a pallet) that he wanted to give me since we were both going to the same drop... he skipped it and I dropped for both of us.

    But by him doing that, I was massively delayed... so when I finally rolled out I was only 20 minutes from completeing my 10... so I ended up with a 9.75/2 split... sitting here at a Walmart for 2 hours waiting to get back enough time to get to my last drop. Doesn't drop until 5:30am but I could have been there now had I noticed how close I was to completing my 10... {shrug}

    So, stuff happens... no biggie.
    Just another learning opportunity!!!

    And I misunderstood.... I thought you were only three hours from your drop with three hours left on your clock. Right runnbut doable. So I misunderstood something.
