    I just thought I would buy mine now. In a few hours the Friday rush starts...lot of Utah plates in the parking lots, stocking up on porn and liquor like usual for a Friday. The big lottery jackpots draw an even bigger crowd and sometimes a news crew since we're right here on the border. Utah doesn't do lottery and you've all heard about Utah beer.

    Good day for me. Got another raise to go on top of the one a few weeks ago. A pretty significant one, up to the top of the pay scale for someone in my position.

    Will go a long ways to helping me get some debts and whatnot paid down over the next year or two ,so I can start thinking about finally going to work for myself.

    Double edged sword for an employer. Pay guys too good and they become your competition.

    Whatever you do don't introduce her to Doc, he's on the road and away from home a lot if you know what I mean ;):D

    You could end up a multi grandfather real quick, lol.

    Yep.... most of my family was self employed Drillers. We installed the lining on all our drill rig brake bands as well as trucks.

    Empty. Laredo bound after we do some blueberry flapjacks.

    Transformers to SLC. Supposed to be 32(?) units... wonder what I’m getting. They mentioned edge protectors and straps...

    Hmmm. This will be new and fun :)

    If I were a betting man it’s a load of transformers from sunline. If you’re lucky it will be 3 big ones going to a wind farm. 6 chains and go. But you could also get about 100 little ones.

    No Spanish needed. Just be fluent in pointing. I think you check in at the purple roof building. They give you foam edge protectors to protect the paint if needed.
