    At the receiver in NV, after an arduous journey from the Midwest. Saw a wild coyote in the truck stop parking lot early this morning. Be aware of your surroundings out here in the west. Many drivers have small dogs, and other pets that should be kept nearby. Will be at this receiver about an hour, then going to a live load pick up at a shipper.

    Well… made it for my appointment time.. 6 other trucks here and doesn’t look good, think they’re broke down, see. A lot of electrical company trucks upfront.

    May have to figure a parody…

    The gun captain leaning on the open breach of a 16" cannon, fixing to load. That particular one is on The U.S.S. Wisconsin.

    Opus I'm going out on a limb here and say the Navy does an incredible job with their fire control on 16 in guns, more so considering the projectile weight fried from a 16 inch barrel on a us navy ship is 1800-2700 lbs. and fired from a moving ship at a target 26 miles out.

    Quick worthless parody of that song…

    I’m gonna lie down, on my pillow,
    leave a note, on the window.
    I close my eyes..
    The sound of silence, in the bedroom…
    I go to sleep…

    Someone’s beating on the door…
    I jump right up,
    out of bed….

    But There’s noone there…..
    I get out and look, but I lost them somehow…
    But it’s over now…

    I climb in the truck, lie back down…
    I stretch back out, and close my eyes…
    It’s all over now…we’re out of time.. but we got shelter…and it’s a hot, sunny day…
    I turn over… and I dream away…

    I think I hear a knock, so I gotta jump and look…
    But there’s no one there, I’ve lost them again somehow…
    It’s all over now, I’ve lost them somehow…from the moment I got here, it’s been over now…


    I could keep going but I’m just gonna sit here and wait. :p
