    Busy looking for a new job lol. Naw, not really or not just yet anyways. I have been stuck in Colwich for the last month.

    This morning I showed up there around 7;30am they were broke down, and waiting for an outside vendor electrician to show up. So... for the second time in less than a month I got to give their grain a free ride on my dime.

    Not real happy with the way its currently going.

    Hang in there. Colwich is better than nothing which will probably be the case for a couple of months. Sometimes picks up after 1st but who knows... this is just the slow time for grain.

    Hi All, Thanks for asking about me. Overall I'm doing well. Glad to have a new broker just need to get my own trailer and move somewhere more suitable for getting into and out of so that I can increase the home time. I don't have internet on the road so posting has been few and far between. I do pop-in to see whats going on with my BB but typing on that little keyboard is a real pain so I tend to just lurk. Best wishes to all.
    Hope for a bumper crop of greenbacks for everyone in 2010.

    Naw, no new pup yet. But, I did take my psycho freak shorthair with me this morning. That was an adventure in itself.


    Yeah, they got tired of me grating my cup across the cell bars.

    I am gonna have to take the trailer in for maint pretty soon. Tarp is getting ripped up a little bit, and I literally had to stand on the crank (2 speed even) to get the door started the other day. I'm thinking its got something to do with the missing zerk fittings lol.
     
    Big John Thanks this.

    Not sure exactly where we will be moving to. Arkansas was a first choice for me. Wife want to be closer to NJ yet still allow me to be in a better hometime area so we are looking into other possibilities. western MO, Southern IL perhaps near St Louis, MO. Looking for an area that will be rural living but allow access to larger city within 30miutes drive. Suggestions more than welcome.
