    They had a rig like that at Frito Lay in Charlotte before they shut it down.

    Well, seven hours of driving took me from the Rockies to the Great Plains. From the Air Force Academy to Dodge City. Passed a few places i had been to with Trans Am...made me think how much things have changed for me in a few months. Drpp this load tomorrow morning and hope to have something soon to get me out of Kansas.

    More later...

    Me thinks your load out of Kansas is gonna be sailboat fuel.

    The last few days, it's been high octane sailboat fuel.

    My bet is motorcycle doors, and it is definitely high octane sailboat fuel here...blowing 40+ all night and getting stronger as the sun gets up.

    Well, I'm a Southern Boy, so anything below 35 is cold to me...bank thermometer says 31 right now.

    Oh no! Now guys know I used to drive for May & own a Volvo, I'm a double loser ;-)

    Will say though, I received a nice compliment yesterday from a dock guy because I put the 53' trailer in a hole with no pull-ups that he said takes most guys 15 to 20 minutes to get in.

    I told him, "it's all about the Volvo, it's all about the Volvo." ;-)

    Two and a half hours to get unloaded....looking at three on a reload of drywall going a whopping 360 to Arkasas...which I very likely won't be able to complete today. Looks like a third straight crappy week.
