    That's just Dave when he doesn't get his corn dogs. We boycotted a truckstop in the last year for not offering 24/7 corn dogs. I can't remember which truck stop, but its a legitimate reason to still be upset, IMO. I know its hard to get decent food after hours. All we get are nasty frozen hamburgers and soggy tuna fish sandwiches. BOYCOTT!

    Got home this morning. Drove a run in from Minnesota over night. Not snowing. But foggy and freezing temps. Barely made it home. Almost too bad. Driving the tractor the one mile home from the terminal. The traction control was kicking in a bunch. I'm kinda hesitant to go out to eat this evening. Don't know about those roads. Slept all day.

    I spun my drives a couple times in the rolling hills of western IA on I-80 this evening, I never lost it but it did get a little squirrelly once or twice. And I'm not light at all... Like 33500 on my drives and 32900 on tandems. It was very slick!!! I'll bet its going to be a skating rink in the morning.

    I boycott a place over in my route territory. I got tired of going in there in the mid-afternoon and finding no hot dogs on the grill. That is inexcusable, especially when the grill is directly across from the cash register.
