    Our shop hands put a clutch in a 90’s Ford flatbed farm pickup the other day. The owner is an older fella, lives south of town. Nice guy, a real cut-up, but if ya don’t know him, you’re liable to take him serious.

    He comes to get the truck, makes sure the hand that did the work is close enough to hear him when he tells the boss “Now listen, when I dropped that truck off, there was 40 psi in my compressor, and now there’s only 20. I wanna know who stole my other 20 psi....”

    Ohio and a few other states around is on exemption. This is the last one then I'm headed towards home I've had enough. It bout time to go to bed for a day.

    I ain't been home for a few days, but we are getting close. I'm in Cincinnati unloading at a tank some tards let run empty, now they are panicking and need it now. RIGHT NOW....oh, but they left a 53' van in the way of where I hook up and forgot to unlock the gate. That's ok, i ain't a steering wheel holder. We gonna improvise lol

    You go on and enjoy your nap, you've definitely earned it. Thanks for putting up with the stupid things that they put in between you and getting the job done. That goes for a lot of other folks too. I don't know most of them but I sure am thankful for them. They, and Heaven know who they are and I'm grateful for their toil.

    Many thanks moose man. I'm just thankful to be healthy enough both mentally and physically to get out here and be able to work like a man that's able should. I reckon some men aren't lucky enough to get to experience the gratification of being "able". Lots of folks take it for granted.

    I appreciate the words brother.
