    Some big fat old woman tried to yell at the Judge. Actually she did yell, I axed if if she wanted her #### or want me to take it back to Iowa.

    I circled this place once looking how to get in. Then see scale pull on right? Wrong!!
    You gotta go to disinfectant bay. They can get your truck and trailer sprayed with water.

    Ok, where’s the sign showing which of the 4 shop bays is that?
    Maybe put a sign that say ‘all trucks turn here?’ I have not been here, so why not say before you go turn in to scale, you gotta call this number and have no one answer like most places?

    anyway, another guy, she said has been over pit all night with ddg. Same stuff I got on, we’ll see.

    So the other week I moved a crusher that was less than legal. Trailer didn’t want to pick it up. I told my guy never again. Yesterday afternoon he called and said “hey we are going to have a lot of work moving that crusher and some other big stuff. Like 1.5-2 years worth. What will it take for you to do it. I replied a lot. It will require buying an 11 axles setup and they aren’t exactly cheap. And then 200k is a mega load. Permits are slow and expensive. And then this is going to be mostly local work in Atlanta. But if you want to pay 25 grand a week every week, I will make the investment.

    However it would be cheaper for you to buy a trailer since you already run 4 or 5 lowboys of your own.

    He didn’t say no. So, I guess I’ll see. But I’m not holding my breath. And Idk 25 a week maybe be screwing myself. It’s kind of out of my wheelhouse

    The OM is UP!!!!!!

    It was necessary to light the bunk heater last night cause it was cold and damp and we didn't want to FREEZE TO DEATH AND DIE.

    Nuking a potato with chili for hot breakfast.

    Load is supposed to be ready in two(2) hours.

    Beware— crush’n outfits are notorious for hanging something they could do but won’t cause of liability in someone else’s ### and leaving them twisting in the wind

    A mission to go get the bow fixed is currently being planned—- and it snowed again last night so the golfing outing may be in jeopardy— at least the cart ride may be

    Even worse. Big time commercial dirt contractor. But they don’t mind paying. They just want it done asap. Which doesn’t work well with big loads

    There's this Jason Bourne movie on in the TV room.

    This witchy woman is screaming at this dude that let Bourne get away.

    If she talked to me and The OM like that, we'd be finding Bourne and go," Don't know what you're into, but we're in."
