Good Night From II

The one in the computer I'm giving my nephew is a SanDisk 960GB SSD.
With room for only one drive in the laptop, it has to be large.
I still have the original 1TB drive that came with that computer, so I could have switched them out and kept the SSD. Or I could have swapped that SSD for the 7200 RPM drive that came with this one.
But after suffering the slow speed of even the 7200 drive I didn't want to short change him.

It's painful waiting for it to boot up now.

It'll take me a couple weeks to save for the new SSD for my new computer. My next check will be near zero with this last week and home time.
But that's OK. I'll just appreciate it all the more when I get all that speed back.

 

I delivered to a construction site in San Jose. When I stopped the foreman asked if it was OK if they started pulling my chains and straps. Took me longer to stow it all than it did for them to pull it.

 

Once you have all that power, you never go back down a spec.

I'm just thankful that it don't cost what it did when I first used a 128gb partitioned with Windows and a BlackBuntu (security suite OS.)

Just used it to run my OS's at the time, seems like I paid 600$ for the thing, cause "new toy." Had programs on a high speed for the time hard drive.

But I know how that is, fire up an old machine I still have lying around that was awesome when I first assembled it and just sit there enraged by the boot process and such. Where when I first got windows 3.1 I could watch it load for days. Course I was like 8 at the time. I think.

Nephew should like that though.

 

Pretty much what happened here, I was in the zone too, I was undoing everything at full speed and then all the sudden the whole crew is helping. By the time I got the last strap rolled and stowed. They were done, and I was still packing up my chains and binders. Structural rectangular tubing what was on.

 

St. Charles, MO.

I picked up a Coke load, and they made me late. Add to that, I couldn't slide the tandems after I got loaded and had to detour to the IGH terminal to fix the problem. A wonky wobbly pin was found.
3 hours down.
But I got unloaded and headed to a small truck stop about 2 miles from my next load.

It t-calls in Memphis tomorrow, so I will finally be able to get the truck in for repairs - and hopefully get a new truck in the process. No way will it be a quick fix when the left side of the sleeper is caved in.

 

Dang, I thought you would have another one by now.

The last time I had a coke load, we got there 2 hours early and we sat there six hours until we were loaded. I hope to never do Coca-Cola again .

 

Those Coke loads can be a real bear.

Well, it looks like I'll be here at Memphis until at least Monday. Maybe Tuesday.
There is no one here that can assign me a new truck.

 

At mom's just sou5of Nashville. Got a fat bottle of Four Rose's small batch yesterday, combine that with the Jameson Select Reserve Black Barrel and I'm a happy goblin.

 

Merry Christmas from Frog City everyone.

They got some good Cajun food in that place
