    Holy poot! Glad you're okay, my man.

    Good thing you parked at a WalMart. They have a wide array of cleaning products to help remove the stain from both your pants and your seat.
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.

    Put my truck in the shop again for EGR issues. Put 2 jugs of coolant in it in 2 days. None on the ground. None on the engine (except where I spilled it). Keeps throwing the same code that the shop has cleared 3x. Needless to say, I was not so nice when I turned it in this time. But, it coincided with me having to be off for the next few days for yet another surgical procedure for my mother, so I suppose that is a plus. I just hate leaving my truck in Richmond. Y'all carry on driving the green-red-white. :|

    Wow. Glad you weren’t injured. Maybe a little rattled, but I’d take that over injured by a flying rock.

    I’m home. Got here yesterdsy about 5pm. Let me tell you all about my load home. After 4.5 weeks out, having a new trainee that I got up to stage 3, going to Toronto and Winnipeg twice, and 4 multi load stops to California, being in more snow storm the last 4 weeks then the whole winter, my load home from Richmond was an 11 stop pickle run. I started yesterday at 3am in Jacksonville, 9 drops later I was 5 miles from the house. Left out at 3am today to do the last 2 within 15 miles of the house, and was back home at 5am. Now I’m home until next Tuesday. I’m going back to sleep so I can get my happy arse on a normal sleep pattern.

    I'm still having power steering issues. It's a lot better since the shop worked on it, but its still not 100%. The thing is, do I put it in the shop again to see if they can fully fix it or just live with it to avoid the unpaid downtime and frustration you are experiencing.

    I passed a personal milestone today. 300,000 miles driven since I got the truck on May 14th 2016. Another 87k and it will hit the half million mile mark. I'm going to see if I can get that done before the end of the year.

    Cant believe a 2 letter combination is censored. Totally ruined my post.

    Good job. I’m about 87k short of my million miles here at Abilene. That milestone gets me a varsity letter jacket. Keep the jacket, give me money.
