    Ya... Looks like 820ish... Full day tomorrow, take your 10, up early to drive the last few hours... Seems doable.

    I wouldn't say it's that big a deal. City driving in general is not for me but I will do whatever I need to.

    Nope. No way. Houston traffic never fails to slow.

    Man, home time can't come quick enough. I just ripped a mud flap off of my tractor getting in a parking spot at this Pilot. (Sigh)

    Today makes 30 days straight after being out of work for 3 years. I've been exhausted for 2 weeks now.


    I ran up on a curb while trying to back into a spot.

    And yes, they are running my butt off. Sadly, it's been all live loads and unloads.
