    While you're waiting keep an eye out for an unmanned fighter jet our gubment lost. Hope it doesn't magically end up in Russia.

    Finally rolling again, just one short trip then stopping for two more days for doctor appointments. (This is the part of getting old I hate. The rest is pretty good.)

    Load couldn't pick up till after 20:00 so I did that and drove just another hour to the mothership rather than run all night, especially since I would have had to take a 10 if I drove straight through because it's a live unload and they only receive 12 hours a day.

    Anyway, I get to the yard and roll down the window to back into a spot and smell hot brakes. I thought, geez, one of these trucks here has a problem. It was so bad that for a minute I thought it was from the Canadian fires again. Then as I was doing a post-trip I detected a hot brake smell and blue smoke from the vicinity of my trailer tandems. I can't see where the brakes are dragging, but obviously at least one wheel is. At least the shop will be open when I get up in the morning.

    When you collect roadkill, outside cooking does make it fancy, even with a cheap grill.......

    We've woken up from a Stage I rhinoceros.

    The OM is lobbying for a snack.

    As of 0345 MDT they haven’t found it— HTF do you loose an F35 Fighter Jet in the Continental USA??? Some little F probably got the crash on YouTube and is wanting $10M for him to give it up

    I’m sure it’s in the bottom of lake moultrie. Wouldn’t be the first time.

    I used to lose an F150 in the bar parking lot with only 20 spaces.
