    Well, thought I had my truck fixed on the front seal, well technically it was, but while the mechanics had my truck idling, hood down, saying it was ready, the darnedest thing happened.
    An explosion.
    So while they both ran, I opened the hood to see the A/C line had blown off.
    So I am thinking pinched line, maybe evaporator.. but no problems there so I am leaning to pinched line when they put the air to air back on..
    Oh the joy.
    Thoughts?

    I stopped in Troutdale for some epic Chinese to go.

    Two things I've noticed. Wait four things.

    1) Why are there so many Bob tails here?

    2) Why are there so many people begging? These aren't really like beggars though, they seem like pot heads.

    3) Why are so many flat bed tractors numbered 777?

    4) Why are people ZOOMING through the lot to get a spot, and there are still spots, but they come up to one, stop, then ZOOOOOOM off?

    It appears the fine folks of east central Alabama don't take this new internet and cell phone thing very seriously. Sending this out like a message in a bottle. Will be 44 pages behind when I get out of here if Joe Dirt doesn't get me first. Joe is currently working at TA and doesn't have the tool to take a theft proof lug nut off. Kinda unbelievable.
    Putting my phone on the dash in hopes my message gets out in case something happens.

    I can top that.

    Stopped to get a fuel filter changed at the TA in Meridian Mississippi and the same kid didn't have the keys to his tool box to get the filter wrench.

    1) lots of drop and hook/power only freight out of Portland airport for Fed-Ex/UPS/Amazon and also that area is filled with grocery store D.C.s and other distributors.... almost as bad as LA.

    2) Those are pot heads well pot would be one the milder things they are on. They are trying to find a vacancy under the elevated sections of roadways. Fricken tent cities in most of the interchanges there

    3) Those are the ones relying on luck cause they have no business skills.

    4) Cause the lots are still marked from the days of cab-overs and 48 foot trailers? At least they are acknowledging they do not have the skill set necessary to use those spots.

    LOL. I have had spam. There are some things in life I really dont want to know about. Spam is one of them.
    I would rather have a plate of brussel sprouts than more spam. Yet if I am starving and all there was is a can of spam I would eat it. Not saying I would enjoy it. Tho that is the one thing the wife and I agree on. Not to keep spam in reserves.

    LOL

    I'm not sure I can handle this level of incompetence anymore. Dude just left. It's a socket with two prongs! Just hard to take when I feel like I take too much already.
    What a clown show. Going to take a few deep breaths and stare at my Eld.
