    What? Dave challenged me to a fight? He's 6'-2" & 220lbs? Whoa! He must be a hunk of a man!

    Little does he know I was Bruce Lee's sparring partner, was an Olympic Gold Glove winner in the '72 Olympics.

    Not only that, my current bodyguard is BrokeDown 69er. I take him on all of my autograph signing tours. Nobody gets by him without paying first! He's a retired Navy Seal!

    Besides, Dave obviously never learned from the few female partners he had, or maybe male partners in his case, that SIZE DOES NOT MATTER!

    Okay, I don't normally do this kind of stuff, however, I'm going to post my recent photo from the Mid-American Truck Show to prove my point ;-)

    Holy Hell, I haven't laughed that hard in a long minute. I don't care where you're from, that was funny right there.

    Unloaded in Auburn, WA this morning. Posted my truck. Ring, ring, ring, "hello, this Joe Blow from Nolan Transportation...I have a load from Tacoma, WA to West Salem, OR area...$600."

    Me, "not interested for $600, my price is $800."

    Joe Blow, "man, we can't pay that, thanks anyways."

    So, I book a load 5 minutes later for my price. Take a peak on the board an hour later, and guess what? The guy from Nolan repost his load for $800.

    SMH. Reality is, he'll probably have to pay more than that now.

    Looks like he went back and edited it to no longer read quite as aggressive.

    Well, I'm running myself silly trying to get set for another run home. Sorry business waiting on me there but I can't see any other way to handle it. I'm back at the yard for about 24 hours waiting to pick up a load to Rochelle, IL, then to Franklin, WI for Four Oaks, NC.

    Oh yeah, I alluded to some actual positive things happening in my life so I might as well tell you yahoos that I'm getting married. I'll wait a moment for ya'll to cue up a few smart aleck remarks. This will be my second time around but I believe I finally found the right one...lord knows I auditioned enough for the part. Got tired of Hooters girls and strippers and finally realized there had to be a better life out there than that.

    More later...
