    I've said that about the "Glory Days" at our company I said "I'm sick somewhat of hearing about the "good old days" I wasn't around for them, all I have is here and now and this is what it is so I'll make the most of it. Still do pretty good believe it or not. Heck I'm getting new granite counter tops installed in my kitchen and all my hardwood floors redone!

    Indeed, drinking wine from a box and driving an AMC Pacer quite the word smith.

    Produce and any reefer hauling is a mystery to me. With as many drivers as those places lose, I often wonder how any food gets to any stores any more if the distribution centers were left hanging due to hang-ups. Perhaps the grocery stores will just buy out the farms and integrate their own set of drivers into the direct farm pickup of produce.

    Just throwing this out there, doing donuts with an AMC Eagle in a snowy cornfield is bad### fun. And box wine will totally seal the deal if you're drinking it on the steps of a gothic cathedral in Spain with a lovely young senorita, unless her brother shows up to ####block you.

    Thurs and Fri are my days off. I spent most of last night looking for the fuse block on a stupid riding mower, and drinking beer. Mostly the beer. I still haven't found the fuse. Looked online with the model number but the only answer I could find was "just about anywhere."
