    You know they say O/Os never die, they just get new extended hoods. Although, I think I wouldn’t be caught dead in an extended hood emission truck, even a W9.

    That restaurant I ate at earlier is really cool. My wife’s family has been eating here for years, the owner knows you by name, sits down and chats with you. The bill was $85 and he knocks it down to $60, so I get them a generous tip. I try to go there once a month. Even though it’s a hole in the wall, some important folks come in, it’s just a great atmosphere. As long as the doors are open, and they don’t have a dress code excluding trashy sweaty truck drivers, he will get my business.

    We have 1 day of planting soybeans left, about 60 acres and about 30 acres of oat and alfalfa to do. Running a little behind this year but we’ll get it

    Our meteorologist that's been with us for 20 years has never seen a set up of storms like we're having now.

    That's a pretty impressive line of storms, on the radar.

    no problem
    as you can tell that ol 96 9200 Intersmashable of mine could almost do that run by herself.
    by the way I found that going north out of York NE (81-50-281) even if you go through some urban areas still saves time over I80-281 by about 30 minutes.
    if you switch to CDN logs on the nanny you should be very close to home Saturday night then reset at home Sunday/ Monday and go back to US logs before you put her in gear.
    I ran a nanny for 2 years in international service so have a bit of experience with playing the games they force on you.

    Spent the day in Garden City, KS
    Supposed to pick up a load, 3 hours later it got changed. Had to make a BOL. Filled it out, they signed it and said bye.

    30 minutes later they called

    “We forgot some stuff”

    Believe me, it was worth my time. I made sure of that:D

    Dinner at that truck stop on 83/50 was decent
