    -38C this morning, after the first load my trailer started freezing up. First the air bags stopped filling, then the kicker roll stopped lifting, and by the end of the day I had no brakes back there. Limped it the 4 hours back to the yard with the bags deflated hauling our 20 ton 12 foot wide ramps and no trailer brakes in less than perfect highway conditions. Gotta love truckin' in the north.

    The OM is UP!!!!!!!!

    The driver is also up, not UP.

    Christmas lights are to be hung beginning at dawn. Coffee and BLT, with Oscar Meyer BACON, until then.

    Today is Winter Solstice. That means tomorrow the sun will start shining longer, giving us moar solar radiation to warm the earth's crust and atmosphere.
