    My pain is mostly psychological and emotional. The OM has diabetes.

    Is that standard procedure to wash out a trailer before dropping it....?

    And do you get paid for that...?

    On my 30, 392 miles in 5.75 hours so far. No sunshine in sight in Nebraska, but no white stuff falling either.

    I'm at home, drinking hot coffee.

    I consulted the wind chill chart posted on our fridge.

    Your wind chill is about -19°F, in case you were wondering.

    Bundle up, and stay safe.;)

    Wind chill factors reflect exposed skin vs time. However, I believe that WC also effects all materials exposed. Common sense right. I'm not a Meteorologist ;) but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.

    Yeah, that's what I heard.

    I had to referee a telephone fight between Mrs Skillet and our son last night.

    The main reason she called was to tell him to come to our house to pick up his W-2s, and remind him, AGAIN, to inform his employer of his change of address.

    So he asks us to get the COVID vaccine when it becomes available to us, because he doesn't want to "lose a parent to covid".

    So the Mrs points out that it's too early for her to consider it, because a lot of people are dying.

    Long story short, it devolves into him shouting left wing radio into the phone, countered by her shouting right wing radio into the phone, and I'm just trying to give enough slack to both of them, so I don't end up with a spouse who's pissed off that I don't (completely) support her position, or a son that's so pissed off that I don't hear from him again for 20 years. (He's 22 now, in his last year of college)

    So, anyway. I probably won't even bother with the flu shot, either, this year.

    And still, freight must be moved, rent must be paid.

    Life to me is that simple.....
