    Got empty this morning. Offered to swap someone and that's when it all went downhill. I got a load assignment to pickup in Savannah and swap with no other then Rebel Chick. I got my load assignment at 10am on the nose. It was 144 miles to the shipper. I got there at exactly 12:20. I check in and was told I'm late, my appointment was for 11am. I was dispatched late on it. They told me it had to be rescheduled, it was, for tomorrow. After an hour, they told me to head north and make arrangements with RC a swap location. So here I am, in St George SC waiting for her to show up be in Jacksonville in the morning. This really didn't pan out like I thought it would.

    The best laid plans of mice and truckers. Sorry to hear it man. You had it planned well. Take it from an expert on the subject. Sometimes trying to help out turns and bites us.

    A friend of mine and I both got a Commador 64... He was in a rush and got the cassette data recorder... I waited, and saved up the money, to get the disk drive instead of the cassette version.

    I think I still have my hole punch to "create" double sided disks from the cheaper single sided disks.

    Ya, I was frugal then too... ;-)

    Yup, I had the cassette too. I also still have a few original punch cards from the ole binary days. An auditorium sized room full of machines and 3500 punch cards to have it print HELLO on hole punch paper printer.
