    I should have stayed home. First load, KCI, flat tire. Could have been on the lift axle, but no, had to be on the rear. Had a big nail in it. Managed to get enough air to dump. Went to Faucett MO for repair.
    Loaded at New Market and headed to Rossville. About 30 mi later, oil pressure warning, check engine light. Well I'm sitting at Foley's in Topeka. They think it's just the sending unit.

    Still no luck--he goes on telling me why HE wouldn't put up w/that kinda ####--so finally I tell him not so nicely this time--"I don't give a ####what u think im fine--but if ur gonna keep blowin smoke up my ###-get a glove &get in the game!" I got 2 more plts to breakdown--he reiterates he's a driver NOT a lumper!
    "Well then get the #### outta my wagon--cause I don't play well with others:D
    Anyway had to let that out.....
    Oh yeah just cuz now im in the mood--Hey kw9--all those picks r on the same street!! Ain't that tough--LOL
    Just had Ta tease ya--good job....

    'olhand, I've come mighty close to opening my mouth and tellin'em "If your fat, lazy ### would do this once in a while, you wouldn't look like you swallowed Rosie O'Donnell!" :biggrin_25510:

    I have a feeling you're like me; if I'm in a man's trailer talking to him, he won't be working alone!:biggrin_25515:
