    Screw a tire. You ever going to find a permanent trailer solution?

    Nope, no tire yet.

    Permanent? Depends how you look at it. I am renting which in and of itself is not permanent. But I am still renting the one I had. At the time I didn't really want a permanent solution so I can remain flexible, but I don't want the option taken away either. I think the guy renting it to me died or something. He's been MIA for 3 weeks now.

    Let's hope he died and it takes months for them to sort out who has what.

    Pharm, back a few posts you mentioned you scale ticket. I saw it was only $75 and I went about my business. What I realized, as was mentioned, was the fact that you were not subjected to a log inspection.

    Now I've had my share of bullets buzzing by my ears, so I know the feeling...but this one takes the cake of "best escape from uncle sam." lol

    I'm not sure if you are spiritual at all, but I would say there is a guardian angel keeping watch over you. I really think that could not have happened to anyone else.

    Maybe.

    But I'm not sure why they would encourage and protect such disregard!

    So did you jump or what?

    This pretty much sums up the view of my 12 year old daughter trucking with me for a week:

    Darn texting!!!

    She graced me once for a photo opp:

    Apparently this picture reveals that the only way to enjoy the view is through the tiny monitor of the phone???


    (Ok so it wasn't all that bad lol)



    Here's a shot at Cargill... wonder what happened yesterday:

    Stockholders should be pleased to know that despite a terrible safety record, the more important and firstly listed thing is that business continued as usual.

    a BUNCH. But it was never about the destination... just the bathroom :biggrin_25516: I swear my son went once a day maybe. (of course one of those times was on the top bunk:biggrin_2554:)
