    Seen a really weird configuration at the scales the other day. US-type heavy haul truck with a lift axle and tridem step deck. In the middle of the step deck was this pivoting cradle setup that was supporting a large vessel. The other end of the vessel was supported by a 4 axle (in a single group) remote steer dolly. I've never seen a quad axle group like that ever and wasn't aware they were even legal in these parts. Must have needed special permits for that.

    Discover a few things today. After hammering each wheel off individually, my left wrist is not healed enough, and most part store monkeys have no idea the difference between Eaton and Meritor brake shoes. Only ordered 2 weeks ago. Hopefully have them in am.

    Guess Meritor QP with FF lining sounds like Eaton. Who knew.

    I picked the wrong time to go load last night. Should've went right at 8am but I was thinking Friday night at 7pm wouldn't be that bad......err that would be a big no. Looks like everyone else had the same plan as me Lol. 8am-10pm fcfs. Short one to Syracuse Monday morning, nothing else booked yet

    Nope never had them. When it comes to crab, lobster, shrimp and similar, very rare for me to eat them. Just don’t care for it. Not big on squid and octopus either. Has a lot to do with how it’s prepared and how much is in the dish. Now clams, scallops, salmon, halibut and other fish, get out of my way.

    One thing I absolutely do not eat is shark. Shark don’t have swim bladders like fish do, so they have to get their buoyancy from an “oil” they create and store in the flesh. Here is an interesting fact about shark, they don’t pee, or put off liquid waste, like fish do. This waste becomes the “oil”.

    At first I thought you were coming through with a escort on a Saturday. But I really knew the Stomach didn't work Saturdays. :D except on digestion.

    Don't make to much fun. I had to Quickdraw the phone and the window in the tool truck is far from clean. He had OSP on a Sat am also.

    I went over to Shreveport today to put on 50 gallons of fuel. In my way out I waited on two people to walk on by with their faces in their phones! The 3rd guy stopped in front of the truck so I gave him a blast on the air horn. He gave -me- a dirty look.

    Don't be stupid and don't end up dead. Today's safety message.
