    Do you turn off your home air conditioner when you leave?

    Yes. And I didn't get your seeds in the mail. I put them in envelope, but I want to get one of those padded ones to mail it. So, it'll be another week.

    Good ideal on the padded envelope, if my mailman feels those seeds I’ll have to deal with the DEA

    Your getting the whole pods. The pods are unbelievably tough. I think they would probably tear a regular envelope, and you may get nothing but the envelope.
    You'll see. You'll need scissors to open the pods one seed at a time.
     
    tucker Thanks this.

    I planted like 6 or 8. You'll be able to tell which ones are the strong ones. I forget how long until the thorns showed up, but I think it's pretty fast. I planted 3 and gave the rest away.

    Day 1 of hometime this time was Thursday.

    Drove 485 miles, and did two stops, got flat repaired on trailer.


    Day 2 of hometime this time, got up at 0430 for deliveries starting at 0700. Only two deliveries but it was the entire freaking load between the two less just a few boxes at the first two stops.
    Soaked.
    PAIN.

    Done with all that by about 1100, then went to Freightliner and got oil and fuel water separator for PM.
    All done back at the house by about 1300.
    Slept as a rhinoceros.



    Day 3 of hometime this time.

    Got up at 0500 and took Casper down to wrench for a full service.

    Fuel, fuel / water separator, oil filters. Oil. Chassis lube. Gear boxes. Check and adjust brakes. Check and air tires. Rotate drives.

    Found a bolt worked loose on suspension near air bag. Replaced. DOT man will see that new bolt and go "A+" lol.

    A freshly PM'd Casper is a happy Casper!!!

    I did not mail tucker's seeds. I went to the store got supplies, and stuffed my face with a couple DELICIOUS hot dogs loaded with nitrates, lips, butt holes, and free radicals.
