    So one of Okie Dokie's boys in a new red 680 with the transformers chrome bling just pulled out of the service bay, connecte..d to his new $100K refer, and proceeded to dump it in the driveway.

    Going fast enough he nar rolled it. It's on one peg and four wheels. Thinking cargo may have shifted a scosh. It's hanging onto the corner of the tractor by a thread.

    I told him give it a try cranking it up, but with all the weight on just one landing gear doesn't look like it's going to happen.

    Some people's children. He's not wearing a mask either.

    The Love's tech that backed him out of the service bay, that narrowly missed becoming an FBI profiler, came up and asked, " Didn't it couple properly?"

    The OM has come up with a plan for phone repair. We deliver in Houston, but must 34 in order to continue on with The OM's epic master plan. This wasn't a problem until I watched the phone spiral to the jagged asphalt below.

    So there's one of these UBreakIFix it places not far from the receiver. Like 10 miles. So we are going in early per plan, whilst the indigenous population slumbers. We will drop trailer at receiver, then PC to said repair store.

    We have to do this because these tech dudes don't open until 1000. That's right. More prestigious than bankers.

    Figure by the time they get done fooling with it and we drive back, be 1300ish. This would be too late to 34 and still achieve The epic freight-a-thon.

    The OM figures this is a legit PC.

    The only parts I've hated at times are the pinheads in the office. And the pinheads at shippers and receivers. And the pinhead mechanics. And the pinhead four wheelers. And the pinhead steering wheel holders. And the pinhead super truckers. And the pinheads at the truck stops. And the pinhead inspectors.

    Did I leave anyone out?
