    So, I went to get lawnmower gas in the The Hazuls car.
    Somewhere between here and there, one of them tipped over.

    She is quite beside herself and has commanded that I will never get to go get lawnmower gas ever again.

    I call that a win.

    Probably a good thing she has stopped smoking. Just saying.

    Actually fired one up at the liquor store. Said to myself, "man, something smells like gas." So, being adult and logical, I determined that the liquor store was now selling gas and I moved on.

    Well I feel like I hit a new low. (Not really). I delivered in the south. To a section 8 housing rehab job site. Which is behind a subdivision. Had to take big truck thru the sub division. Tandoms all the way forward. Then three points turn in section 8 apartment housing to turn truck around. It was doable.

    I didn't book a reload not knowing when I would be unloaded. So I have one tomorrow. Today drove a whole 2.2 hours. Makes me feel like a bum and underachiever.

    What do you make a mile? What are doing with all the money?

    Looking at this situation in a different context. You delivered today, so the load pays today, so you made a lot of money today. This is achievement and excelling at trucking.
