    Back haul of door skins to Grand Rapids. Then try to squeeze in another 2 loads before camping.

    Blower must have been a short in a wire. I took the front panel off the dash to have a look, and it came on. So I cleaned it up a little and left the cover off. It started to drip from condensation. If the cover were on, the water would have reached the hanging wires. I think that's where my problem child is. I have had the AC at max for 2 days and it hasn't cut out yet.

    Tried to deliver my load, they don't want it until 10pm.
    It's times like this I'm grateful for a drop yard and a fleet of daycabs.
    If I were to do "do it right" and have my own trailer id be stuck trying to do it myself, throwing off my Friday to try to work.

    I'm set up with a quick run to Cedar Rapids and I can get a load back to Mi and I'm done for a week. Can't wait for camping and fishing

    Maybe one morning. Before I drove a truck I was a sous chef. I get creative at the campfire. French toast and breakfast pasties are staples. A sheet pan works for bacon.(and pancakes) and I have several iron sandwich makers. They work good for omelettes

    I was talking your CR load ... but I appreciate a good camping breakfast. When my son was kid, we used to go out at least once a month form May to Sep. Breakfast was either pancakes and sausage on the cast iron griddle or what we called leadbelly - in a cast iron pan, fry up some sausage, then scramble some eggs in with the sausage.

    Omg. I took your comment totally out of context.
    Yeah it's certainly possible I come back with Quaker or purina. We shall see

    LOL ... makes sense though. You're focus is on your camping trip. CR is just the path to get there/
