    Did consider that - a bit too late.

    Would not have worked on the Port end - TWIC, Passport, Stool Sample - but woud have on the unload side.

    Just thought my skills could withstand the punishment . . . apparently not.

    I heard your getting more parts delivered Thursday, so more work.

    I’m home and couldn’t get motivated to go to Illinois to pick up a 14k load, oh well something closer will come up, then it did 14.5 k to Massachusetts from Tulsa. Told them I have paper logs and not sure how to spell Massachusetts, so here I sit.

    I think the paint or polishing fumes have gotten to me. Truck is finally done. I bought chrome for the first time in my 30 years being around trucks.

    Makes me glad I have minimal chrome.

    I have better things to do with my time than polish that turd.

    Heck it may soon be time for one of it's twice a year washes.

    I've always had trucks I was proud if having polished and clean. I said this truck would not be that.... and yet. Here it is going for paint work..... I got attacked by a refrigerator on i65 in Alabama a couple months ago and the left side fairings were damaged... so... might as well 2 tone it. .. but what goes with orange. Purple or bronze. Any... we will see how it looks... 20170922_132044.jpg 20180405_181702.jpg 20180406_131949.jpg
