    Eh, a relative wrote a book for fiction not too long ago and published it at a cost of 3000. so far 8 copies have been sold just enough to kick in royalties and taxes.

    As far as nothing else to do? Not quite. I live two lives. One here to throw two cents here and there and maybe a story now and then. Either a first hand experience or a bad lunch counter one less often. I havent run out of stories yet.

    The other part of real life has to do with working with my doctors and dealing with the medical stuff and when not doing that, I am teamed with my ex dealing with issues related to her mother's health and so forth among other things hobbies and shooting training etc. I'll just work on the stories and try to keep the good ones on here. Otherwise I live a quiet life. There was a point at which I was working with the state to retread the CDL A without too much difficulty having had it before and learned about a few things that would be a problem unless I am able to get clear of the medical stuff which is not any time soon. So that's on the back burner for now if ever.

    We’ve got a ‘95 truck with a 3406b. When we got it, you could get either the B or the E, so that was the transition period.

    How does a reciever tell the robot it is late?

    They cannot, they too have been replaced by robots inside the warehouse.

    The b model was still available right up until the E's came out. In fact I know of a 96 that came with a b, and my 96 came with an E. The one I know of probably had a 95 build date, I don't know that for a fact though.

    I just remember going to the FL dealer and they were really pushing the new E model. Dad said “I don’t want one of those electric motors” and they ordered the new truck with a B. I remember the salesman also saying that ‘95 was the last year the B would be available.
