    As usual, WM keeps up it's tradition, we got to spend the night at the loading dock waiting for 2 pallets of whatever. Finally got out of there at 5:30 this morning. Sitting at the Outpost Cafe in Victorville having breakfast. Waiting on my delivery confirmation from dispatch. I should have it later today. Meantime I will run hard until I get it just in case I need to deliver early in the morning, which I hope isn't the case. My veggie omelette just showed up, later.

    Nope. I have a Volvo. Don't want any part of a KW. I'd be forever hitting my head. LOL

    Shhhh........unlike my last new truck, that never made it to the shop before I got it and the thing ran 74/70, this one also hasn't been looked at yet, hence the 71/68. I'm sure the first time it goes in it will be castrated. The last one took 4 months before it was caught. I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

    JB, having dreams (sleeping/or awake) of your upcoming cruise yet? I know you and Lesli are super excited and anxious about it. Being apart, as is the case with trucking, you certainly need the time together having fun, etc.

    We always look forward to our cruise, even with this being our 15th cruise since we've been married. The difficult part for my wife is juggling her real estate work while we are gone. With the technology we have today, it's easier for her. Every vacation we go on she takes her work with her. She's got 2 closings while we will be gone. My work? It stays parked at the house and my biggest concern will be what's for lunch.
