    I've still not totally given up on the idea of hauling fuel, so be home daily.

    One gal wants me to do cryo. Pays a lot, but not home daily.

    I do enjoy eating properly.

    On a load last night. Slowed down and the jake came on. Only thing was, I had the Jake switch in the "off" position. Then I noticed that other switches in the same row were not working. Dome light, sleeper and floor lights, engine fan. suspension dump. None of them worked. Jake worked but could not turn it off. Discovered I could turn the jake off by putting the dome light switch in the off position. Truck had been at the stealership for 3 weeks on another issue. Had it out and ran about 2200 miles before this. Back to Texarkana it went and back into a day cab I go.

    Old arn never did anything like this to me.

    All of that, except the Jake, runs through the cab / chassis controller.

    So we're going with bad harness.

    Surface area...... Ice cubes with more surface area cool things more effectively. Beyond that it's just generating "press" cause there is no such thing as bad press.

    If they really wanted to do it right they would freeze the end of shift coffee into cubes. Don't water stuff down that way. Had a few customers that wanted to bring the temp of their black brewed coffee down a tad.... One regular cube is enough to take the edge off the temp of a good travel mug. Summer time had several customers that wanted milk poured over a few coffee cubes with a scoop of froth on top, Made for a good strong chilled latte that did not water out toward the bottom.

    Grew up doing the same thing with iced tea for road trips. Freeze some tea as cubes, put the cubes in an insulated container then fill the container with more tea from the fridge.

    Smart... Get the gym stuff, leave out and have someone assemble while you are gone. Run a long convoluted route, having to hand load or unload at a few places, more trouble with another trailer's (brake/slider) defects.. Get back 3 weeks later. 22 K richer but exhausted and have lost 16 pounds.
    What is this gym stuff here...??
