    It appears tire DUDE has been here and gone. Looks like same tire, but with air in it.

    We saw the rhinoceros.

    We're going to see if we can stay here covertly for another six(6) hours and finish our break, and hopefully return to the rhinoceros.

    I feel like I've been up all night drinking coffee, but we still haven't caved. But The OM was wanting a cup.

    Back in the good old days of trucking that I miss you could tell what kind of trailer a guy was pulling by the way they dressed with a certain degree of accuracy. Reefer drivers were at the top of the list. Always dressed neat and always clean. Open deck always dressed neat but not always clean for obvious reasons.Van drivers always looked like they had the same clothes on Friday that they had on Monday. Now everybody looks the same, and that's like a van driver. I don't know what happened to pride, but it has sure disappeared. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone, and I know there are exceptions to the rule. These are nothing more than my observation and recollection of what was and what is so if I offend anyone, I apologize, and if I offend anyone, get a shower and change clothes.

    I'm blaming the OM for this fiasco. She didn't axe the right questions of the nice agent when they said they had a trailer for you.
    Does it have all it's parts?
    Does it have all the tires and are they full of air?

    Hey I wear almost the same clothes every day camo shorts or jeans WORK boots stress the work, sleeveless gray fruit of the loom shirt or dark gray polo and camo hat or steeler hat. or if company hasn’t annoyed me company hat. I buy a bunch of the same shorts pants shirts when I find what I like. Hope I’m not in that crowd. And I’m a reefer driver. For another day, maybe. Lol

    Well we departed The Casa Del OM with my head all the way up my ###, and forgot our Coleman blanket and shaving kit.

    We have plenty of clean clothes, but until we find a store with things like a hair brush, the driver will be looking a bit ruff.
