    Well, I have 2 jugs of oil in the side box, one tipped over and the top came off.... approximately 3 quarts sloshing around back there... most of it found the drain holes... right over the fuel filler caps...an epic face palm moment!!!

    The good news is dealer fixed a bearing on the drive shaft.

    Deadhead to El Paso tomorrow, pick up a Calexico load.

    Stop laughing... I'm a sensitive guy and I got feelings!!!

    Well I started the day at 24 degrees in Odessa... Freezing fog... I-20 is definitely too cold for me!

    68 degrees in El Paso drop my empty loaded trailer, and I was in and out so fast I forgot to let 30 minutes run off to complete my break... Wanted to make it to Deming I'm 70 miles away, and I had to stop for 30 minutes just so I can make it there... 48 Hours on break down and I need to be retrained... Another facepalm moment.

    Still not back to work. I’m guessing it’ll be first of the year for that. Cold as heck here. Below zero again tonight. Highs in the low teens.

    Sounds more like pneumonia than bronchitis if it's staying with you this long. Dr. Rooster prescribes bed rest and brown bottle nectar until March madness and the Masters are over...then come back to work.

    I did that same schedule a few years ago. Saw more college hoops that month than I had seen in my whole life!

    Give the choice, I would trade Arctic weather for chemo any time. But, the chemo worked, so no.complaints!!!

    Not off due to sickness. Off due to automotive stuff being shut down. Missed one day due to sickness.

    Glad it isn't pneumonia... you'll have to make up another excuse for watching March madness... still take liberal doses of the nectar... just to be safe.

    I’m glad I’m not in Michigan. That’s way too cold for me. After I deliver in Laredo I’m headed to Chickasha, OK and then through Joplin. I didn’t get my permits through the mail so I’m assuming I’ll have to go there to get them. Y’all stay safe, and stay warm.
