    Too long on the red line sometimes creates a "lightning bolt" of ZAP...

    May the OM forgiveth me for replying to this without reading the rest of the thread, but I use an emulator called OpenEmu. It’s easy to use and put games on, and a PS4 controller syncs up to my laptop by bluetooth.

    I plan on rebuilding my PC again. Might take a month or two. To afford it again. But I loved it.

    Have I missed something with lines?
    You can now just save a spot or something then walk off and it’s still yours?

    I was looking to see what they had in the highly condensated window case, there was one guy at the counter getting chicken strips, the other dude and his tattooed lady, which had head shaved and whole top of head covered, 70% face covered, neck, chest, arms and who knows what else, was at the back by the drink case, rest were just milling about it waiting on a shower.

    2 J employee women talking about going to go out to eat after shift, one at the register, other getting food.
    She told me, “No cutting line, you get back of line to order, who do you think yo are?”
    I said, “Where’s the F’n line start? At the fuel pumps?
    ain’t but one dude there paying for strips, besides that, I was just lookin’ you had this same garbage yesterday, what’d you do, reheat this bs?”
    “I wish I was the manager of this place, you two’d be fired for not doin your job, and you’d be gone for insulting the customers.
    You can throw that bs out, or feed it to the hogs, they’ll eat anything too, as you might well outta know.”

    I’ll eat outta my fridge tonight, maybe the nice crew be back tomorrow.
    Should just go bobtail to a decent place to eat, hopefully I won’t be here this weekend.

    Was in a somewhat decent mood, some people have the tendency to reverse that quick, then look at you like you’re the one with the attitude when you return it.

    And the bad thing, upon walking back to the truck, I got to laughing like an idiot because I got the image of what my ole lady’s face would’ve looked like upon that exchange..
    I looked it up, would look close to this...

    Does this stuff just happen to me.. or is it all over and no one speaks of it?

    Funny thing about that. The owner of the company? He prefers to drive Petes. He researched trucks and the majority told him you only want a Pete. Well his Pete is in the shop for repairs. Last fall when I first started talking to him about driving for him. He went and bought a Cascadia. He refurbed it at his shop. He did have a driver there for a while that drove the truck for 6 months. That driver called in sick (for vacation?). So he is driving the Cascadia. He is wondering what all the fuss was about. As the Cascadia gets better mileage than his Pete. It may not be as smooth a ride. Yet the Cascadia spends less time in the shop than his Pete with lower miles.

    He said I might have to fight him to drive the Cascadia.

    I find the reliability is directly related to the quality of mechanic that has butchered the truck in the past.
