    Well, that was enlightening, and terrifying at the same time.

    And just like that! Covid-19 is no longer a threat. Went into town with 2 of my grandsons earlier. The mall parking lot was packed! The stores were packed! The restaurants were packed! People are obviously enjoying the outside in the sunshine and inside spending their money.

    My 10 year old grandson told me there were a few protesters on the sidewalk in front of Krogers earlier today, reminding our town just how systematically and institutionally racist we are, I guess.

    He said to me, "someone wrote something stupid on their sign." What was that, I said. "Abolish the police!"

    Even my 10 year old grandson know bullsheat when he sees it LOL

    Speaking of flying off the shelf, this guy went with his father in law to the gun store today. This is what was left.

    Rates are still good out here. Spending the next couple days getting everything PM'd. Took my trailer to a TK dealer in Sacramento for annual service. Found a leaky water pump which added $500 bucks to the total, ouch. I might pull the trigger and get auto chains installed later in the year. I have a feeling this winter will be a doozy in the west.

    Desert Trailer Systems and TEC are giving new reefers away.

    Dry vans are back to what you'd expect to pay for a van too, like half as much as they were 18 months ago.

    Didn’t you mean operators? I’ve not seen any shortage of iron for sale.

    Not really looking to expand. My equipment is just a bit over a year old, paid for, and I don't plan on doing this too much longer. Maybe 5 years if my back and knees hold out. Spending most of my adult life sitting behind a desk didn't prepare me for this kind of work. It's catching up with me fast.
