    Wait for the computer shortage to get fixed.

    It may be nothing, and it's only what I've heard. But apparently there are a lot of new trucks sitting around just waiting for computers.

    Once when the computers show up, some of those trucks might be available cheaper.

    It could be they are already bought, though.

    We have five trucks (Pete 389s) that were supposed to have already been delivered and another 4 by March. Still nothing…

    I have lots of goals and all are daily .
    Not to get sides wiped by an idiot pulling a blue trailer with a ##### on the the side .
    Not to end up in jail for pimp slapping a millennial whose mommy was to lazy to teach manners to.
    Hmmmmm ...that's about all that really comes to mind .
     
    Zoltan1a Thanks this.

    *lights smoke*

    Tell me more about slapping.

    My great uncle George had me in tears when I was just a young pup. He wanted to take me to “slap” the hogs (I grew up in Arkansas) and then we’d go cat fishing in the farm pond. I began to cry because I didn’t want to “Slap” a hog, or any other animal.

    Well, I was mistaken in his intentions. His mountain dialect was far different from my city dialect. He wanted me to “slop” the hogs with him, which meant he wanted to feed the hogs.

    I was relieved that I didn’t have to slap a hog(s).

    That said, apparently, there is an armadillo that has decided to take up digging holes in our back yard. I haven’t figured out, YET, how to dispose of the critter, but I assure you I would have no issue slapping the water out of the little cuss!

    Human urine repels many animals. Not sure about armadillos though. Maybe worth a shot.
