    I’m ESE of it. According to the weather reports I should be able to get all the way to Illinois with pretty good weather. Heck, for later today Elk Mountain is only showing 14mph winds. I hold my breath on that one.

    Never mind. Wydot now shows 25mph with gusts to 40. Thought it was to good to be true.

    I got back from ND yesterday. My shop can’t check out my truck. So without hesitation. Operations is getting me a load to Lincoln. Can have our shop there check out my truck after I deliver.
    Pretty darn good company.
    You don’t want to hear all the sordid details.
    Also getting break down pay for a whole week. Not detention.

    After coming out of the truck stop from sitting on the toilet I had a guy still on the fuel island with a pillow on the steering wheel, sound asleep. Then after assuring me he was fine to continue driving he drove down the middle of both lanes for a while. Not sure he ever woke up from that nap.

    I patently deny that was me.

    If it was me you would’ve mentioned my Spider-Man underoos, and my transformer Optimus Prime plushy pillow case that I was sleeping on. Also when I’m napping in the fuel island I take a picture of the OM to the window and that really seems to keep the rule followers away.

    OK it wasn't you. One of those trucks driving in and out of his lane, in both lanes, and on the shoulder must have been you at 3AM. Which one? I don't know. But it keeps things interesting. :)
