    Towed to TA, said it would be about 5 hours till they get too it. I was still on the tow truck when a Conway driver walked up to take my load. So here I am in the diner, soaking up the AC. The mech said they may not be able to get parks till the morning. I wish they would make that determination one way or the other.

    Been up for 25 hrs and feel great!???
    Prob cause I've been eating "healthier" food.

    Pick up two hours away going to San Antonio with 12 hrs to get it there. Could have staged closer but "had" to go 50mi the opposite direction for a pm and they told me they can't fix it ethier. Kill that eclock.

    Think its karma for popping that trl light out the other day lol!

Bullcrap they were supposed to be sitting in the dock at the same time again so I can collect a bigger detention bill....buuuutttt noooo..... Just the one guy was there... Still got 2 hr pay...

    Yep....French Ellison KW! I am really starting to get light headed from the blood hemoraging! Week end at 2789 miles due to brake/bearing issue on the steer. Lol, I survived a level 1 unscathed in flagstaff and figured I shouldn't press my luck. (Intermittent squeel / nonsensical squack at varying speeds / RPM)
    What is this one gonna set me back. I feel like its a high risk poker game lately. "I'll see your quart of blood and raise you a......kidney!"

    Still at TA in Baytown. On top of the bad AC pulley, they found the water pump stove up as well. We also figured out this is warranty work so, currently waiting for a tow to Houston dealership.

    Megabus is queue that someone's about to order 20 fresh chicken nuggets after they take all the food :D

    Loves usually gives ya a heads up
    "Attention all employees a megabus has arrived
    Attention all employees..."

    Lol get this...
    Trl I picked up had a dead light so instead of just taking one out of our other trailers I used my emergency backup like a good little trucker.

    Karma reward: mudflap flies off going down the road. Saw it go to.

    Odd week so far...
    Gonna have a plain double cheeseburger see if we can't get back on track.

    Got 4 hours to kill.

    Took the back way down excluding 13 miles of I 30.... It was terrible!!! 55 in the middle lane All packed up :O
