    Day 4 of hometime this time.

    The OM is already on about a lot of work that needs to be done. I can see this is going to be another unfair hometime.

    Got truck #2 back from Freightliner. Warranty paid everything. Something about DEF line. Actual line? wire? I'll never know. Even the guy that takes you to get your truck in back - this is no BS, walks up and says " I still have 8 minutes left on my lunch."

    That's a rap for Freightliner. Called around, all the high end shops will do they work and it's covered by the Freightliner warranty.

    Made giant pot of soup, cooking noodles now, the unfairness continues.

    Enjoy at least it was covered. Nothing screws up hometime like a repair bill. Furnace was bad enough! Had that happen once went home to frozen leaking pipes. Now I shut water off and have pipes wrapped just in case. Luckily we were remodeling anyway. We’re headed home had the delivery from Hell, meanwhile Wife In hospital for 3 days. Now p/u from hell. What a week. Main thing She’s going to be OK.Got to get her home without any problems.Thats Life. Enjoy every minute it’s too short.

    That's not acceptable to me. Being happy that a group of ####### finally did their jobs. I expect more than that, and I won't settle for that kind of treatment. The place is full of dildos. And if the people in charge weren't dildos, it wouldn't be that way.

    Day 5 & 6 of home time.

    I actually took some home time. I've done nothing but cook and eat for 2 days. I am ashamed.

    That was actually going to be one of my next questions. Should I book freight? I still have good weeks worth of stuff to do here, maybe more.

    Indeed and lots of it.
    But come on down here to Mississippi where the weather and roads are friendlier.

    Well I got up at 0400 met wrench for PM and had headlight wiring fixed on second truck.

    Then took it to Glendale Laser Alignment. Alignment is good.

    Truck 2 is ready to roll.

    So then took Casper over. Alignment is good. Having APU fixed, appears to be low oil sensor is bad.

    I just knew the OM would get her way, who is curled up sleeping someplace, while I have another unfair hometime.

    I did find a place close by that has hot roast beef sandwiches though.

    Casper is all ready.

    Now have to pay bills. Could have had a group catwoman weekend with all this.

    But oh no.
