    Welcome to my world. Picked up yesterday at the Sweetwater plant in the pit of h*** known as Atlanta. Not even 3:30 pm along I-285 and already traffic was backed up,and would continue to be when I got on I-85 north. I thought with the 7 1/2 hours DOT time I would at least make it near Durham,N.C. before I had to shutdown. No such luck, since someone decided to have an accident in a construction zone near a bridge traffic was backed up for at least 15 miles from mile marker 137 northbound. I ended up shutting down last night in Charlotte. Barely through the afternoon in Georgia in people are already acting stuck on stupid when it comes to driving for the Thanksgiving holiday.

    Betta roll early through Charlotte. It's not friendly either.

    Mostly because the OM doesn't drive and it's a lovely view.
    That said, if you come in on 85 or 77 between 0600 and 1000, you will hate life.
    Particularly on 77 north out of Charlotte.
    It's every day.

    I'd like to be able to take that off your hands it would be perfect for the property in Georgetown. Wife would probably iron skillet my head. Not like I have enough projects already
