    We had an unforced error a bit ago.

    Basking in the glory of delivered load, DH to Love's down the block from the load tomorrow.

    BOL's scanned. Garbage dumped. OM's box emptied.

    The Dream is realized right?

    Denied.

    At the receiver you have to have long pants. So I put on said jeans. I did not however transfer all the contents from said cargo shorts to said jeans.

    All contents. Like my spare keys.

    The OM was not pleased.

    I used to start the truck, then go inside, wash face, get coffee, etc.

    This took care of 10 or 15 minutes of the warm up.

    Come back to truck one morning, both cats are hanging out the passenger side window.

    And my window buttons once you hit them, go all the way down or up.

    So now no more warm up or idling unattended.

    I went with the wife this morning to get my key fob reprogrammed to the wifes honda. We got half way to Bangor to realize I left my keys at home. Oh well, at least her fob works yet again. Tho I am thinking of getting an OBD tool from Amazon that is supposed to give me full access to anything with OBD functionality. Amazon has them for under $70

    Big news for thise of us that go through SLC, UT on I-15... Legacy Parkway is open to trucks and has a speed limit of 65!!!!!!

    I had heard talk that they were going to do this, but the community had a melt down over it. Not sure when it became official, but it is open for us now.

    Its funny how when you honk at someone for doing something stupid they always know who is being honked at... Then they flip you the bird.
