    Well, I may not know a motherboard from a fatherboard, but I certainly can empathize with you about using a real computer, rather than a phone. (Or a tablet, for that matter.) There are things both the phone and tablet are just great for.
    But trying to make posts that are intelligent, readable, and even half way correct grammatically is best done on an honest to God keyboard. And a mouse. Speaking of which, somewhere in the past few days, I saw a computer mouse that looked like a MOUSE! Thought it was kind of nifty.

    Just to point out, I do most of my posting from my tablet.:)

    On a different note, pigs now hear this. :biggrin_25516:

    If you use my truck and leave trash in it, expect to find it in yours. Clean up your own mess. :biggrin_25510:
     
    misterG and Mike2633 Thank this.

    That almost happened at are yard last year. One of the other drivers took at the time a brand new transit truck out on the road and left a bunch of garbage in it all over the floor. The driver who drives that truck normally collected the garbage to throw on the messy drivers desk.

    Well BULLY for YOU!:p:D
    I'm pretty good with a keyboard, but suck when it comes to the hunt & peck of either tablet or phone.
    And then there's that flippin' autocorrect. If I was the only one who used this tablet, I'd turn it off. But I don't need the grief...:confused:

    Well, if it's any consolation I have to "hunt and peck" with anything even resembling a keyboard. ;)
     
    Big Don and Mike2633 Thank this.

    Saw the funniest thing. One of our SLC linedrivers hooked a set and forgot to raise the landing gear on his back box.

    It was kinda cool to watch two streams of sparks coming out from underneath his trailer as he rolled down the highway. Wish I would have filmed it.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

    I did that once accidentally. However I caught it before I left the yard and you know why I did it? It's because I was in a hurry.

    Get in a routine. If something upsets that routine, start over. :)

    I also found that being on the phone can upset the routine.
