For Rocks the spanish comes out to Hiney probably the same as the American Meaning of Culo. You follow me?

I don't think they had the restriction up yesterday for light loads, but it was HOWLING at Elk and The Sisters. 9K would have been an ### pucker ride on top of all the truck traffic.

I was 72K, and fought that wind all the way.

I'm going to Gillette then down to Midwest tomorrow. I've made it there before from here within 11 hrs.
Take 10 there and check the weather.
I could go across 26 and down to 30 or even I80 if I have to. And miss some of the worst.
Oh well, we will see what happens tomorrow.

Well I too am heading through Why-Oh-Ming. They predict it might be breezy there. And I have 9,000 lbs. in the box.
Any odds on me making it home in Idaho from Worthington, MN by Thursday night?

It is usually very common when learning new languages is to go through the slang and dirty words first. Profanity etc.

Then we can build on that for better words.

Baltimore is one exception.

Despite 50 years of indoctrination in education on the shining hill the first word is.....

"AIN'T!!!" //tease

Didn’t have to. Dave came right out and told me exactly what the truck would be like. It was way better than I expected or frankly deserved. Dave is adamant about the Cascadia’s because of his experience with them and the man who he has wrench on them. Then a couple weeks before my eligibility to work for Dave at Landstar closed in he called and went over the specs again and confirmed I wanted a white one. Couple hours after that he sent me the invoice...he bought the truck.

In business I call it the sniff test. It’s a cursory look. It stops me in my tracks most times. Dave is one of the few people in my business life that is just a straight shooter. Good or bad Dave’s going to call you and say it straight to your face. Well buying the truck and sending me the invoice is straight up baller. It’s like he was saying “I did my #### I said I do, you’d better be ready to run like I think you can.”

Tell your friend this is big boy trucking, and he’d better be ready. There’s not a lot of do-overs in this.

Otter, you and Dave are two; one of a kind. people apparently. I salute you both and wish y'all well.

Drop your landing gear, and write large block letter note to yourself on a legal size paper TAPED to your entire steering wheel to remind yourself to raise the #### things before leaving tomorrow.
