    The OM only tolerates You as an easy source for food. Otherwise not very impressed with any of Your Endeavors. Lol

    The unfairness of this home time this time isn't unprecedented, but it is unfair.

    Day 1 was Thursday - Got home, unloaded truck and cats, went grocery shopping.

    Day 2 - Went down and got truck at 0100 to deliver load at 0300. Load delivered, no problems, slept for several hours in sleeper, went back and dropped off truck, got home about 0900. Ate and slept. Sheila made me eat fattening brownies, unfair.

    Day 3 - Payed the bills. Worked out. Stuffed face and watched golf tournament.

    Day 4 - Same as Day 3 without the bills.

    Day 5 - Got coolant tank replaced on Casper, had to get up at 0400 though. $400. Ordered bottom access cover from TK for APU. Ran over two still kicking mulie's in Utah where 84 meets 80 last winter and it just TWEAKED that cover. Screwed it back on, that lasted for awhile, but the edges are rusted out so they snapped off. $220. $30 for over night. Ridiculously unfair.

    Stopped by Shaker and got two headlamps ( $21 both, $25 for 1 at Peelot across the street ).

    All of this time and money could have been spent at a casino where I could tripled, even quadrupled the money.

    The unfairness continues...……….

    Blame it on the OM team and the want of trailers.
    They really don’t want to buy any used ones, they want shiny new. Then the new truck that will be needed to pull these new trailers. Can’t have an old truck doing that.
