    Yeah I ordered it a couple days after that. So far all I've been able to wrangle out of them is a hotel room. But eh I'm sure I can score some goodies from them when I get there

    I'm still in the projects stages.... Haven't wound down to chores yet.

    But do have a nice W.C. ( and shower) near the mini kitchen all less than 30 feet from my stool. None of which I have to go outside for.

    The Good Lord is having his angels shake out the stuff we failed to order last year. The children prostrated themselves in the greening grass of our winter drought and finally understood that God is Deaf that season. H eid not hear a #### thing.

    And not a #### thing came down last winter.

    We are very afraid to frolick in our fields in our joyful hearts slowly filling to the brim with ice and water that needs to be replumbed by a people who will remember where the dam is placed.

    My spelling is getting bad. It's been a very long day on weather watch for three people. two of whom are in church.

    If I wish to continue to scare the little ones with old time stories that stated with "The #### key would not start the rig, shes deader than Edgar Allen Poe. If I find out fast they don't know poe, then I'll substitute svengoolie.

    Careful with that high range reverse. She will start whipping and aint no human alive can hold her when she does.

    Then she is going to swap ends, hook a sidewall and then never ending roll to your death.

    If I were you I would not take any more of those runs.

    Once on a moonlight night I scared a church van very badly lights out running backwards (Easy just keep the yellow line where it needs to be) and came up on the van.

    Waved hi to the driver while going backwards at her speed. She looked. waved. back to adjust double TAKE!!! BIG EYES SWEPT my rig end to end her van started shaking as a extension of her body language losing it to emotions. Slapped the brakes dropped her to 10, Let her come around straight into a smugglers flip and caught up to the van easily and rode with her nice and calm as you please until seh understood there will be no more of that.

    That weekend my boss asked me on sunday before Philly what in the world have I been doing whit that tractor>

    He led me to three tires taken to scrap I know anything about those? Hm erm no. That's a surprised to me as much as you. These damage is not good. Whatshame. Move a truck too hard to get away from someone... etc etc etc.

    That was the end of those games for a while. If ever. I had one truck tried to imitate while bobtail. This was in Charlestown. That did not end good. Bridge deck teeth got him good. He should have known better.
