    My Wife never puts anything back where it is suppose to be. She will leave things alone and in there place for 2 mth's., then it will disappear.. Ask her and She can't remember where it is. Keys for the Vehicle never can find them and She is strong physical for Her size. Slams the car door so hard I just look in amazement. Always takes Left turns even when you have to go right. No use sayin anything, waste of time. I just sit back and think about how trucking has taught me patience. No use in upsetting the apple cart. But for me I have a good women, honest and caring. She is a tremendous help with the Truck and the Kids. takes a lot of pressure off me and I'm thankful for that. Yeah, I would spend my life with Her again if I could. Just ranting, but I know many of You guys have great partners also, just by the way that you mention them every so often. I glad for you, makes your lives easier. I hope She feels the same way about me.

    Well I bought a new squirrel cage. Pull everything apart. Wires were loose. Do I keep the squirrel cage? Go back 20 miles and return it tomorrow? 125 for cage and new harness. It will be 5 or 6 gallons round trip. Another 15 or 18 dollars. I'm leaning towards get load right away and make money rather than messing with squirrel cage. Ability to turn around at FL was horrid, which adds another gotcha factor.

    She fixed herself up a tool box for home. Little hammer, pliers, 2 screwdrivers, little crescent wrench. Make sure you put that back! Recently putting her new table together, no crescent wrench. Oops it’s in the Truck. Lol. Couldn’t find the 8 screws and washers. Bought new ones. Later found them taped to the outside of the box, hanging by a red strap, including a wrench. We both had checked everywhere. Can’t believe we both missed it, anyway the tables unstable. Have to grind down 2 of the legs to make it stable. I got no time for these things. $50 tables the last thing we need. But that’s what makes her happy. Lol.

    This day and age? Anything is possible. Tho my dear 84 year old ordained mother explained it as.... The Lord asks us to hold one day per week special only unto you. That what ever that day is? Shall be the day that you feel is the Lord's day. God knows we will screw up as we are only human. God set out the ten commandments and asked that we do the best we can to adhering to them. If you want Friday? Friday it is. Tho I tend to believe it may be Monday. As that is the day when things go wrong and many cant get anything done. Grin

    OK, I’ve been refining my Business plan for Catmando Trucking. Add D.Tibbit with a flatbed, and Cattleman 84 with whatever he wants to pull. Everyone books their Own Loads. 10% off the top for slush fund overhead. Maybe pay a compliance Company to keep up with the BS. Handle paperwork. Any extra at the end of the year gets distributed back as bonus. Pay Dave a small % for Authority Use. Why only a small %? Just enough for the risk. Maybe 8%. OK 10% just to keep the #s simple. Sorry Dave, Lol. You being the eldest, and the Appointed Leader of this gang, I mean Drivers, should get the Authority. Then if the Safety rating gets Tarnished. Shut it down. Next eldest opens one up. This ensures constant work, for all. Pick and choose, work when you want. Everyone has their Own runs/ Customers. In the end, Otter being the youngest I suppose will be set for Life. I got it all figured out. Lol. Seriously I’ve seem Brothers/Friends do Similar Things, Same bunch, different name and #s. As long as it’s a different Person with the Authority, it’s not a problem. Not considered a Shadow Company. CatCatotterdobitt Express!! Tearing up the west. Lol!!
