    Well I had a smokin hot week but had to deal with loading and reloading in the ice and snow. I should of been home already but the weather in South Bend screwed up the loading this morning and the reload was maginnly worse. They did wait 15 min late to unload me. Still not going to make it home. I would have to drive through the snow and short on hours anyway. Parked in Plymouth. Hoping the roads get cleared off tonight and I'll hit it in the morning. Won't screw up my 34 as we got the long weekend.

    I debating on even leaving the barn next week anyway.

    Im sitting in the finest dining establishment Flying J in Seymour, Ok has to offer...Dennys.

    But after 3 days of no shower because Ive been run so hard I get stuck in random parking when my clock runs out. 600+ a day with a drop off and pick up makes for a long 14hrs.

    Can't be much if any. I usually try to run around 1600-1700 rpm's when cruising. Anything over about 1750 rpm's and I notice a change. It was like that with the sidekit too.

    I been out of commission. I scratched my eye a month ago and woke up Wednesday with it irritated again. Only running one load I figured I could get back and rest it. Got stuck at the mill for eight hours to get unloaded. Ran back home on snow dusted roads but stopped off to top off the tanks. Been laying in a dark room since I got home.

    Went to the eye doctor last week for a checkup and ordered the first pair off glasses I've bought in 35 years. I've worn contacts since i was twelve. Mama went and picked them up for me. Thursday.
