    Chilling at home after delivering to Stanford, KY this morning...

    Last week sucked, in 4 days I had 3 breakdowns...Day 1, serpentine belt in Barstow, CA, day 2, starter in Winslow, AZ, day 3, nuttin, day 4 a super single blew out with 41,000lbs in the trunk at 65mph in Oklahoma City, OK...3rd time I've lost an SS and never lost a rim or felt any type of control issue...I get tired of people scaring people in regard to these blowing out...All I heard was a loud hiss and didn't know it was a tire until it started shredding, by the time I got off the road it was nothing but a bundle of wire and strips of rubber...Rim never touched the ground....

    Sitting in SFS, CA, watching my truck head all over the place without me. *sadness* Can't wait to get back on the road next week. Civilian life sucks!

    Looks like i barely missed you. Spent three days in the shop getting the AC repaired, and prior to that I stayed at the motel next to the Crossroads Truck Stop for two days while waiting to deliver to Kalispell. I'll run into you one of these days hauling similar commodities! (/hint)

    People actually enjoy eating Rocky Mountain oysters? No amount of money will ever be enough to indulge in those things. Big "eeeewww" right there!

    10-4 on the radar, lol! Finally finished with my local assignments. Thankfully I only ran into three miles of traffic during the entire "ordeal". Hurry up and get back on the road already! We......ahem, the road misses you!
