    Best have this friend take a closer glimpse next passing rock load and send a list of favorites. Copy of tape from the security camera in case he missed the titles.

    So got the water pump ordered for the substitute truck, should have it installed tomorrow, quarterly and monthly taxes are paid, and I still had enough money to walk to 7/11 and get 2 slices of pizza. Talked with the wife, and I think I'll finish this year out, split the savings with my partner, and find a local job like Wal-Mart city/ yard jockey.

    Escaped from Atlanta. Picked up right downtown. Southbound traffic going in was backed up for miles. Worst I’ve ever seen. Paid $3.25 gal in Jefferson. Saw it for $3.09 in Calhoun. Oh well, only $30.00 lost. Good news is I’m up to 6 mpg. Hope this is just the beginning. Looking for 6.5. That’s what it should get. 6.5-6.7 historically on Classic w/ 12.7. Big tain storm today. Got to Calhoun for Waffle House breakfast. All is well. Cracked headlight finally blew out. Need to change it, and get to Ohio. We are woke!

    Friday to Friday, 4 trips. Total 3660 miles, once I’m empty this morning. First Load picked up last Friday, delivered on Sunday. Lucky break with Sunday Load delivered on Tuesday. Tuesday Load delivered on Thurs. Thurs Load delivering today. Wish I could do it again. This Loads a PITA. I’ll be Lucky to avoid some floor damage. I screwed up, should have put the heavy machinery on the tail. 21k lb. Forklift, moving a 9 ft long 7k lb. machine. Floor was creeking and crackling. Going to have to improvise tomorrow. Get some plywood under it, and drag it to the rear. Not sure yet. Don’t need any damage. My fault for not having them load it different.

    Be grateful your not running a sweepster broom behind a farm tractor on the 3 point hitch. I had every where you mentioned. One would think, if you wear pants with a belt, one wouldnt get sand around the family jewels. Yup I got it there as well

    Frankly, that is some seriously f'd up trailer management.
    "hey man, need a trailer."
    "We ain't got none."
    "Well, how about this one?"
    "Oh yeah. Forgot about that one. You can have it. Make sure you tell someone where you leave it."
