    Yeah they both got fired, she was driving and the trailer hydroplaned and couldn't correct it, he was sleeping. Conway sent out the message that they took the curve to fast and rolled over, but I wasn't there so you know, Conway put them in a hotel then the next day let them go and they said Conway left them there to find their own way home (FL), but like every story there is always 2 sides, I don't know them well enough to say which is right, Conway may have let her go and he said well if she goes I go.

    I would not continue to do this job without my wife. Way too much work for the money solo. If something happens, I'll go back to looking for contractor work in the middle east. It sounds like I'm joking but I'm not.

    Walked over to Hess to get some milk before bed time. Got back to the truck and went to crank it up to charge the batts. Didn't want the bunk heater draining them too much, it's gonna be down to 41 tonight. Truck won't start. Hmmm... Seems like I brought this up before.... Twice... Oh well, I'm going to bed. I'll call RS in the morning for a jump. I got plenty of time before pick up. I hate not getting a shower in the morning... Rambling... Sleep needed...'Night all!

    Don't like the weather in Texas, wait 5 minutes. I'm a South Texas native, Texas mostly does hot.
