    Yep. And after reading both of his threads it's a amazing example of what's possible in this industry. Nice to see positive experiences. This door swinger will leave it to you flat guys. Has been a amazing read and journey. Couldn't be more happy for the guy.

    Made my L.A. drop this morning early, reloaded pillows for Costco in good old Sumner, WA. Guys were great, they docked and loaded me 5 hrs early. These 6k lb loads are killing me ;-)

    Already back up to Corning for the night. Will be home before noon tomorrow. Didn't I just leave on Sunday afternoon?

    Like stealing candy from candy ;-)

    Well, they tend to be small for carp. So it takes alot to do anything. They can really create a stink, but it takes time. sort of like a fungus. They sort of melt away, then it gets in under the carpet and starts from there.

    I have a decent settlement check hitting the account after midnight. Now I need to schedule getting a new front gasket on the engine. After that new springs and shocks, then three axle alignment with new steers. About that time I will stop being as nervous about running. Later the doors, etc. etc. Fortunately I will be able to use shop time while alternating trucks with my brother on dedicated long hauls starting tomorrow.

    Have you ever seen one. One time way up in Idaho, was loading lumber at this little mom and pop place.
    I swear I saw one. They are surprisingly fast for a snake
