    We need more people like you out here. I bet there was 20 guys sitting in their truck watching u guys struggle to get that moved and the thought of helping never crossed their mind.

    That's not my load. It's my dog. She's a good dog. Those APCs. They look like V150s. A late viet nam era design. They were sold to a fair number of nations with different weapon configurations.

    Used to be corn cobs, nowadays its only "non skin". Times change, go figure.

    Thinking of the load, was going to ask. Billy Milican, Owner of Royal Trucking Company, West Point, MS, had a deal of hauling a lot of military from incoming port on GA coast to Navistar's facility in West Point. Back in time, were reconditioning and welding on underneath, a V shaped flare to divert the IED blasts.

    The truck has stopped. Fortunately at a truck stop.

    A truck stop near a Walmart. A Walmart that had banana nut muffins, cat treats, and other items indigenous to the truck driving profession.

    This was a tough week.

    Hopefully we've turned a corner. There was one spot available, and my tandems are way back there, but the dude next to me pulled up so that we could get in.

    The OM is pleased.

    For some odd reason, it seems as though bad times come a week at a time.
    Hope your week is over.

    What else happened to you. Did you get the house power washed?
    What was the injury?
