    Go to the window and ask to talk to one of the planners. Tell him your situation and I bet you'll be headed home especially if you talk to Robert. If there are no trailers, ask them if you can go over to Mattel (off Killam Industrial, exit 9) and pick one up. There are always mt trailers there.

    My truck is still in the hospital, her chest wide open and her 5th wheel slot showing in full view through her thin see-thru-split-in-the-rear gown. She's under mechanically induced coma and on slow battery charger life support They drained all of her red blood in preparation to transplant a new EGR cooler and Dozer (spelling?) behind her Turbo. She's a tough gal though, the doctors assure me she will be up and running today with no recovery time once her parts are airlifted in and installed this morning.

    Most of the hotels around here don't accept pets. After several phone calls finally found one hotel a few miles away and the kindly Kenworth service writer set Abby and me up with a ride down there.

    Lafeyette, LA. So much for my delivery tomorrow. Was delayed at the receiver almost 5 hours this morning, then another 1 at Kimberly Clarke. Then the routing said 990 miles, and there was just no way that I could get there by afternoon, with all of 16 hours drive time. Nice DM that I have, t-call back to myself in Houston tomorrow, then complete the rest on Thursday.

    A little update, the little wifey is really enjoying it out here. She has been trying some different foods. tonight, LA Boudin, and been burrito. So far her favorite, Flying J/Peelot pizza.

    Think that the QC is messed up. Right now saying 9.4 mpg. No way in ..........
