    I've been reading on some threads about folks having trouble getting parts they need, I guess it's true. The terminal manager at the mother ship called this morning to see how things were going. I've been feeling kinda bad about how long I am going to be out for with all this rehab, he says no worries, we don't have truck for you to drive right now anyway, 5 are down and waiting on parts that they have been told won't be available for 3-4 weeks.

    The only things I can’t get for my FLD is new moto mirrors. I got the last bumper they had in stock. Their vendor is way behind. The hood is one week lead time but it’s no big deal as I’m buying from the manufacturer so I know I’ll get it.

    I know you use to run the toll roads going out East in the past before 76 got out of hand, do you by chance remember ballpark what the tolls were to run from Chicago to the Philly area?

    No I don't...I only run the Indiana toll and Ohio pike cause I need the tax deductions and the only sections of the Penn pike I run are valley forge to Harrisburg east and the northeast extension ...the PA pike has priced themselves out of business for any long distance travel .

    Shoot, we're trying to buy some new trks, and went for Western Stars, cause they said we could get them in a couple of months. Still waiting and now being told next year.
    Heck.....at this rate, I'll be ready for a new truck by the time they come in.
    That chip shortage is hurting a lot of things!!!!

    Monday morning's John Deere Board of Director's memo will read as follows....

    "Brad has gone to the dark side and purchased a Kubota. It is unknown if, or when, he will return to John Deere products. In light of this new information sales of parts may be greatly reduced in the Nebraska region. Please adjust your stock portfolio according."
