    Just things that haven't ever been really resolved, but resolved enough to keep going. They're just adding up again, and it seems like much quicker this time around. Nothing I'm going into on an open forum, at any rate. Thanks for asking, though.

    And I hope you get your ride in. I'm sure you saw the posts, but I had fun so I'm going to tell you again...we ride the Tail of the Dragon every year - rent a cabin, spend a week running the roads around there. This year, we changed it up a bit. Hit the Blue Ridge Parkway at the north end, right at Waynesboro, VA (I think that's te name...all these towns are running together!!) and rode it all the way to Cherokee, NC, 469 miles. Then the Dragon and 2 days to get back home.

    And the tiny houses are cool, but I live in a tiny house most of the time, (named The Brat, and Omaha Orange...) so I want a bit more space when I go home!

    Hopefully I can do my bucket list ride next year. I'm already researching motorcycles. I'm going to have to take a leave of absence(or just quit) to do it. I could do it in 2 weeks, but that is serious, don't have any fun, wear a diaper, riding and I don't want to do that. So I'm thinking a Month. I just need to pick a date. I think this winter is just going to be insane and May may not be theasible in some the elevations and Northern states I'm going to be going. But We'll see. Just gotta choose a bike and start building/prepping it.

    I was going to ask about this. Does Schneider go into Canada or Mexico? I was going to renew my passport anyway...

    Well guys and gals, orientation is complete and I'm ready to start running. But then again, I'm already in the shop day 1 lol. Tripac is inoperable so I brought it up the road to thermking to get fixed. Sfi told me I'd be reimbursed for this so hopefully they get off to a good start. From there I'm to bobtail 400+ miles to lake park, ga to get an empty. Waiting to book freight until I get this APU fixed, wasn't planning on leaving out of Charlotte til tomorrow morning anyway.

    Our drivers don't go south of the border. Mexico drivers pick up relays at the border. We do go into canada though if you want to run up there.

    Welp, think I'll wait until the spring then. It's already cold up there.

    I might in the summer. But I'm going tanker, so now that I think about it, I doubt I will ever make it up there. Too bad. It's been a long, long time since I was in Canada.
