    I forget who mentioned it, but I'm having problems with small print on the forum today, also.

    Right now I'm loading a trailer for the treacherous 35 mile trip to the Major National Brand manufacturer of condiments in those little plastic containers you tear the lid off of.

    This load is hardly worth getting out of bed for, but I had Wednesday off due to no work, so I gotta take what I can get.

    Boss says inverter should be installed in my truck Monday. Then I can go out on the road and make some money, and not have to compete for runs with the herd of local hides they've hired.

    I get a weird feeling they knew all along I'd go back on the road......they just had to push the right buttons.

    Update on the mighty Silverado. The Powers that be at GM have declared the current tranny , not to be confused with Bruce Jenner , shall be replaced. CEL was related to Tranny malfunction.
    Stopped at the Chevy shop in the Mexico.
    Asked if truck can be ordered without the nanny crap. He says yes. Can't get around the stop/start nonsense but there is a button to turn it off.
    33k out the door give or take a few bucks. I'll see how my current truck does with tranny # 3.

    Ya that’s F you money at work there. Why just get a contractor to lay a bunch of asphalt for you when you got the money to buy the whole rig and pave over the whole place and put in an air strip on your property.

    Thanks for the pics, Dale. Most interesting details of your delivery. I would have thought dump in a side storage and they use small space trucks out close.
    Good pics.
