    They have more sports than just football. Besides, our family leans toward green.

    I'm kicking myself for missing most of training camp too. It's ok, I know a season tix holder than gets me seats when I can go.

    I had to rearrange my home time to this weekend, since my hemotologist only comes to town on Tuesdays.
    Got my beer off this morning and now getting a load to Michigan anyways.
    Deliver in holland at 9am and see what's next .

    Headed out to philly for. 7am unload at stop 1, and then to Md for final unload. It's all plastic plates in boxes, loaded on the floor. I should be able to take a nap while I'm there. I'm getting too old for switching back and forth from day running to overnights . My system is all out of whack now. Hopeful there is somewhere to park at stop 1 if I get there at 0230am. Maybe I should call.

    Better you than me. Now that I said that I will probably have jinxed myself and end up getting a load up that way when I get back to the plant tomorrow evening.

    Just had a nice experience at Greencastle , Pa TA restaurant. I was shocked to see a TA with a buffet. A chef attended stir fry station. "Rockin'Rick " was animated and personable. Most of the time none of the staff wants to be there, even less want to talk to you. I was impressed with the overall package. I felt like a real restaurant rather than a greasy spoon.

    Never stopped in there but heard it was a good place.

    Told you that I would regret my remark about the NE. Have a stop in Frederick MD then to Shokan NY then to Albany NY. I just love my job and have to unload all these darn windows by hand one at a time.

    Do you at least get paid extra for multi stop and driver unload?
    Dont get finger prints on them more than once!
