    Simple... they won’t dare cite you with the OM in your truck. That’s animal cruelty. You can suffer and die. But not the animal.

    20 years in the Black Hills. I finally gave in and became a biker dude. :)

    Seriously... this is my new folding electric bike. Ordered it months ago for OTR. In the box. It fit in the back seat of my Corolla. Not sure what I’m going to do with it now. I do like it.
    I don't see any problem...with it folded...getting it in the trunk of my Corolla.

    Well my load might be ready tonight.

    Which means I can make it home and drop Casper off, get APU fixed, maybe.

    OR

    I can take Truck 4.

    Now if I take Truck 4 out for 3 weeks, The OM is gonna have hair all over it.

    BUT

    No way I can idle like this. I'll go bananas.

    We need a poll.

    $50 to get it cleaned of cat hair?
    Drop off Casper and roll out in truck 4.

    I mean the sky is falling. If you’re going to clear more than $50 it makes sense. LOL

    I'm supposed to head out in the morning. If he gets me unloaded... Doh!
    Same as last week. Only will be heading up to Illinois after Springfield on Sunday morning. Do a couple short loads up there. He asked me if I minded. I said nope... they pay, don't they? He said: yup. Then will pick up a load out of DesPlaines Iowa headed home.
    Hope it goes ok.
    He told me the run out of DesPlaines... used to pay $1900. Now only $1300. Said that hurts. I'm hoping low fuel costs might make some of that up. I keep it down to 65 to save fuel.

    I often ask myself what JW would do in these situations.

    It's all so unfair. I was living the dream. I was resting, squeezing fuel in air conditioned comfort.

    I was appointment numero uno and unloaded in 20 minutes.

    Well on the way to executing another one of The OM's master trips..........
