    I'm sure it's nothing that a couple bottles of whiskey and some truck drivers can't figure out.

    Sitting at a local watering hole, killing 7&7's with a quickness...ran the last 2 stops off from Friday, got into a pissing contest with the Hartford CT police this am on the last drop...75' never makes 90degree turns in 10' of lane. "Don't you ever move cones!! They protect the workers (1/2 mile down Main Street) from cars"

    hey dummy, I can put this across the whole 4 lanes during rush hr and wait for you, or do it myself. I'm not making those union wages, so I'll do what I do, you do what you do. As he started up again, a gas hauler did exactly that and started blowing the horn. Just laughed and reloaded myself into the truck. Power makes some folks feel important. Never quite understood busting chops when folks are trying to help YOU out.

    :/

    loaded 3 stops from a local shipper, will pickup a pallet of returns for them to return as well, cause I'm that nice. And I'm charging ;)

    Last eastbound plaza on the buckeye turnpike for the night. Get up and head to Westinghouse and kick off this crap and reload steel for Chicago.

    Then got a short hop load to do Wednesday and I may call it quits for the week. This regional stuff is working out quite nicely

    Well I got a phone call late last night about my Dad.
    Then this morning another update. So we came up here in the trk. and found a parking place that only charges 40.00 a month.. Parked and went to see my dad..
    He's hanging in there, but slowing shutting down..
    I do not know how many of you have had to see a strong parent just go down hill so fast.
    They are thinking it's stage 4 liver cancer. Will do a bi /opsy in the morning.
    Was to be done today, but he was not stable enough...

    Tough stuff Carl.

    I watched my 6'3" 250 pound dad whither to about 100 pounds and die from cancer when he was 41. Hang in there.

    I quit driving when my mom got cancer. I knew she would need help, especially around the house.

    Carl, as you know mate my mom is in the same boat. Cannabis oil has worked wonders with her stage 4 lung cancer. Maybe ask about it? Feel free to call if you need any specifics and I can ask her.
    In the WS dealer in auburn. Think a bearing seized in the clutch while it was sat. Good job the RMS is "leaking" to cover the labor huh? ;)

    Ok will ask the doc here in the morning.
    What's making it bad for my dad is, he's filling up with body fluid.. They need to drain him some more, but not stable enough. His blood sugar count was only 73 this evening. They got him on a sugar water drip now..
