    The OM called the shipper. They're going to load us today.

    I was like," Can't you just sit still for a little while?"

    And The OM is like," We can probably make it home to watch The Super Bowl now."

    Never question The OM is the moral to the post.

    Hope you make it in time for the game. Have placed my bets on the Bengals Plus 4.5 and locked in for Under 49.5 for the Over/Under. I do have a side "Prop Bet" that Mickey Guyton will miss at least one word when singing the Star-Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl.

    When Dad first got sick I took 4 months FMLA.

    Turned $100 into $5K over the summer on baseball.

    I had designs on making some real money then, but found myself routing for guys to lose / fail.

    That didn't set right with me or the cats.

    Yes, that is a problem letting emotions getting in and infusing the math to be pushed to a favored team. Almost did not bet on this game because of the Bengals connection to LSU and LSU being an emotional blind spot for me.

    But wait- LSU has produced more Super Bowl winning quarterbacks than any other University. #### it, I was wrong Alabama has more Super Bowl QB then any University.

    I was off yesterday and the tank wash washed my truck. Did a real good job too. The clean trailer I had to hook up to had a mud hole right where my truck ended up. Still better than it was though.
    Back in Houston waiting to load. Took 5 hrs 28 min to get down here empty. If I could do that loaded I could get back today.
