    Got the truck back yesterday. They replaced the bearings, which still didn't bring the oil pressure up to specs, but keeps it between 20 and 40. So I ran back to the yard, fueled, loaded rock and took those to Great Bend. Then back to Lyons, loaded salt, which I'll deliver this morning around 7 at Yates Center, which is a whopping 45 miles.

    Mornin' and welcome back, Eaton.

    Good to hear you and TruckerDawg are safe, Pony. I had to read that last line twice before I caught what it REALLY said. I kept reading Virginny.

    Off to the south, as soon as the heathens finish breakfast. Have a superb day, folks and please be safe.
     
    Eaton18 and FloTheWaitress Thank this.

    7:30 am and I am still the only one (and that includes employees) at the receiver. Rather odd after the usual frenetic pace and jockeying for doors that I am used to.
