    I do miss Blackberry. They had solid hardware and software. Last one was a Z-30. That was one of the best.

    If you really want an iPhone, see if you can get a 7 or 7 plus off the web site for your carrier. Should be able to get a good deal. Stay away from any 8 model. If you decide to go with the X (10) you can find good deals on the XR’s

    Well it seems that my truck stayed clean today didn't go to Idaho. The manufacturer that I contract with needed a couple loads of erosion rolls because he is enlarging his yard. So I hook to the flatbed and run and pick up a load for him. Beside pulling my FB for the fist time this year I still have a clean truck. Ok now that I bored ya with my day I'll let y'all get back to the interesting stuff.

    Michelens were not even on my radar. Gave up on their junk in the '80s on cars..... Best thing I did to my old KW was got rid of the reseller installed Michelens on the front and ran some Bridgestones......

    Deadhead 531 miles empty they said, go on the I-80 it will be fun they said...

    Gusting to 45mph. Gnarly thunderstorms. Just a normal day for Otter.

    My trainee was white knuckling it when I slowed way the #### down when the truck was really getting buffeted. Hahahahaha. I let him know it’s way more fun in January when it’s -17° and snowing with patches of ice. I did that evil “MUAHAHAHAHAHA!” laugh.

    I said If it’s ####ty just shut it down and wait for morning. No big deal. Make sure you tell your DM that you’re a total ##### and you drive in a skirt.
    LOL.
    Ok I didn’t say that. I reminded him his #1 job was to protect his CDL and to do that you need to make good choices and be safety minded.

    Oh come on now otter... 45mph is just a breeze in Wyoming. At least it wasnt pussing 60 mph. Thats when it gets really interesting.
