    Got to Lancaster Leaf at 0430 and didn’t find my trailer at first, turns out it was an old swift trailer abilene apparently bought and slapped a couple decals on but kept the original 6 digit number. It was also unfortunately locked with a glad hand lock still they apparently forgot to take off yesterday so had to wait til they opened for the guy to come down and release the trailer. Thankfully still pulled my truck in for a pm 1500. Hopefully be able to take off in the morning.

    Well, down for the day being my truck needs an EGR valve, supposed to be fixed today. I had a suspicion I have been needing a new EGR valve with the way my truck was behaving.

    Welp, I tell ya. Using the CPAP machine kicked my hay fever into high gear. Nothing like having a little machine ram all those allergens directly into your lungs and sinuses.

    Steps are being taken to provide some relief, and so far they seem to be working. But man, I thought I'd really screwed the pooch that first week.

    You need Flonase. That helps me a lot when the allergies kick in earlier than expected. Along with Allegra and eye drops.

    EGR replaced and got a Bissell load to York for tomorrow morning then backed up by the Volvo load going to the WM yard Sat. Planner asked if I could help with the shortie to York and he would throw that Volvo load on me after. Finally getting away from Richmond and Pa, lol!

    Those two things are indeed among the steps being taken. And they have very much helped.

    Enjoy the vacay. Got any plans?

    I've been off for a hair over a month. This is the cleanest and most organized my apartment has been in years.
