Where are you

Happy i'm still in the hotel. That trail mix sure got the best of me.. Not sure if it was the nutts or the raisins but something had my innerds working over time... Oh the horror...the HORROR i tell ya!!!! Had to turn the heat on and strike a match to get the smell out.

off to baldwinsville in a few hours then waco by tuesday morning

 

Home for the weekend. well the first part, then off to Atlanta, GA for Monday

 

Remember where I said something about 20:30??? That is exactly when I walked into the house just in time for a dog fight.

My phone stopped getting texts from work. Made the day a bit more exciting....

 

Home for, well several days.....
Some bearing is going out in the transmission. It started vibrating in the higher gears (11-13) yesterday. Told the mechanic yesterday and he didn't seem too interested. Well today, after pointing out some broken welds on the under side of the trailer, I told the shop manager that I thought it might be a U-Joint. So he had me pull it inside, and they found that a bearing is going out. So I'm parked until it gets fixed, probably won't be going again until next Wednesday. So I was told to drop my trailer.

Well, our trailers do not have dollies, just lightweight aluminum stands, that has pins. I was having a problem finding a spot where I could get both stands down and pinned. I would lower one, pin it, then the other would be on the ground, but not far enough to pin it. So I would have to raise them, re-pin, move. In the process, I smacked my head on the vibrator. It's mounted underneath, near where the stands are. Well after disconnecting/reconnecting lines, finally when I found a spot, I disconnected all the lines, (both service and emergency, electric, air line for vibrator, electric line for lift-axle), but had a real, real, Dumb-##### attack, and forgot to disconnect the hydraulic line. I mean after all it's the biggest one there, kinda hard to see. So I start pulling out from under the trailer and I hear pop, crunch. Luckily I stopped quick, jump out and see just what the hell0 I've done. I back up, unhook the hydraulic line, and go report what I done. Luckily it didn't damage the hose, just the mounting bracket. Took about 15 mins to repair, but boy did I hear about, and rightfully so.

All that after having to shovel the notorious screenings I hauled this morning. Should have called in sick and just stayed home today....

 

Passed through there on the way here. That whole wierd WI54 detour thing got me to go up n' around to get here.

 

Hey Otter, I don't know what I was thinking when I read your comment.... I thought you were in Ontario, Canada.... Later I realized you were in California... Sorry... my bad. Anyway, I fixed my posting.... I'm in MO now.

 

Well then Your Majesty....Queen of Hobbitville, Nation of TTR!

I don't hit and run I swat and run!

And Ladytrucker wouldn't need to worry....she doesn't need spanking.......but you DID!!!! If I remember right...it was a challenge that I couldn't/wouldn't dare do!!

 

Probably Sunday if my truck doesn't break down!

 

Aw well....Sunday I deliver in Red Bluff, then truck going in the shop for service, mirror motor, couple lights (flickering), and the best part.....

Student/new hire #2, driving from Mira Loma to Redlands on I-10, took a rock from a dump truck along side (about 6" in diameter)...Student #1, sitting in passenger seat, looked up just in time to see rock hit the windshield.....have you ever seen a guy try to bail out of a truck doing 55, without taking his seat belt off? Took me some time to regain my composure...side was hurting I was laughing so hard!!!!!

got into Sac at 2100, and now home till I leave for delivery 150 miles up the road.
