    Well gang, today at work was alright.
    It was a little heck-tick in the morning, but it eventually calmed down and was alright I actually got done at not a great time, but a decent time, there were still 3 trucks out on the road when I got back to the office.

    So I guess I did alright then. I got to drive a 2014 transit truck today usually I drive the older trucks, but the way the cookie crumbled today they had me in one of the newer trucks in the fleet, didn't even have 50,000 miles on it.
    Yeah the morning was not the greatest for a little while, but after my 8th stop it got better and from then on wasn't so bad and ended on an alright note, so I'll take it.

    One thing that was stupid was I took the wrong ramp going somewhere, you guys ever miss a turn or an exit and say something to the effect of awe shoot, now look what I've done.

    Yep, happened to me today. While talking on the cb with one friend, another friend was splashing over from a different channel, and another friend was talking to me on my sprint two way. I was coming up on two exits that are one right after the other. One is a parkway (cars only), the other for all vehicles. While concerned about which way to go before an upcoming slowdown due to pot hole repair, stick with the main road or get off the all vehicle exit, guess where I went?

    And the fast recalculate on Rand McNally can get you into trouble too.
