    Running good so far. My load is pulling me down south, away from snow, but I’ll have to push through it to get out of it.

    I think I have my next company to lease onto lined up when my motor is paid off. Small reefer outfit out of central Michigan. That’s a tale for another time though.

    I love how I have appointment times that only apply to me apparently. The people that told me to be here at 9am, aren’t here yet. Granted it’s 8:45, but still. I’ve been here since 4pm yesterday. I gots two more stops to make!

    I’m parked. That 2nd stop SUCKED! Private island with a private narrow road with low hanging twisted mossy trees and rich people who don’t give a #### why you’re there, they just hate you and try to make your day suck. I’m glad I’m parked. That was exhausting

    It is such a wonderful feeling when you are sleeping fairly well and then the truck starts to rock. Then you realize someone has backed into the side of your truck. Just a great day at the office. Not!!!!

    At least you were there to react and get info to maybe get it fixed. I had a mirror hit and run while I was gone. (5 yrs ago)

    He hit it while I was asleep but he didn't know that he hit me. He pulled up and was trying to get situated. I thought he was going to run so out I came with my jammies on. He did pull off while I was putting on my pants so this fat man can run when I had to.

    He did get an attitude with me but I think he realized my attitude is a lot worse than his. I had to inform him that he backed into me. My truck did not jump in his way.

    Then some other Yahoo decided he wanted to get an attitude and call us morons and I got into it with him.

    All in all it was a bad day and I hope it gets better tomorrow.

    I realized yesterday that my new engine may need a new starter.
    It barely turned over and didn’t want to start. I had to use some spray to get it fired up.
    Doesn’t do that all the time but it’s a sign it’s in need of attention. It was fair weather too. Batteries were charged.

    I know it has to be aggravating to get a new engine and have problems. But it is good that you caught it early.
