We're at the TA in Albuquerque. Finally got a nice long run, with good pay to go with. Now if I can just get this POS rigmaster working...

Check the AC Compressor Clutch bearing .... mine went last week......at 147,500 miles.........sounded like PS whine, but it was constant and didn't change pitch, just increased as rpm increased
Yea, that's excactly what mine is doing.The maint.records said it was replaced 40k ago, along with the compressor.But you never know.Thanks.

I have a 2004 4.8 GMC, if you have something close , the belt that runs the compressor runs just thatm take the belt off if the noise is gone, you found the problem...

..... Now if I could only figure out why other FX drivers don't seem to want to talk to other FX drivers.

I shower every day and smell nice (in a manly sort of way of course) and I think I'm good conversation!!

(Shhhhhh, but maybe it's those ears!!!!) hehehehe

Yeah .... I dropped at 9:30 in Sweetwater, went down the road to the Walmart and slept until about 15:00 .....

Now back at the J in Tye (Abilene) .... the temp has cooled off to around a very pleasant 75°F or so ...... think I'm gonna go back to bed ......

:D

Randy, I drove right by you Monday morning! I dropped in Midland Sunday night and Odessa Monday morning. I then headed to the J in Tye. I backed into that stand of 5 pine trees on the south side of the building near the westbound exit ramp/road. Colonel, you should be proud of me taking advantage of those shade trees. Made for nice napping except for the crazy bird and his electronic sounding squawking.

Since I started carrying drugs I am home every night.

Occassionally, I will frequent one of the major truck stops to fuel.

Can't say that I miss the smell of urine wafting across the parking lot on a warm spring day.

And who couldn't get excited about the wonderful aroma of the food at the "hog bar". Yummy!

It all smells the same to me.

Funny, I made a Chaplain visit at a county jail last week during their lunch hour and the aroma coming from the kitchen reminded me of a truck stop. Something about that institutional cooking you just got to love.

Thank God I have been delivered from sleeping in parking lots.

It took 3 years to find the right niche.

Now that I am getting on in years...it is imperative that I spend the greatest amount of time with the love of my life.

A little 100lb 5'3" gal that has stuck with me through thick and thin.

Tell you a funny story. I bought a solar-powered patio torch light to keep the neighbor (who drinks a bit) from backing into our Wisteria bush. My wife didn't know it was out there when our son happened to pick her up from Sears that night. He parks down the street from the house and when Aletha was walking toward the house she saw the flicking light and thought our mailbox was on fire. At that very moment she said this thought went through her mind, "I wonder who Dave has ticked off now." She remembers the good days when I wrote a weekly Op/Ed column. Back then...we only got death threats.

Got a DH from blackburg SC to Greenville SC, then loaded and delivered to Thomson GA, no big deal, just a short run..but while driving I got anther load offer to DH back to Greenville and pickup a load and run it to Laredo Tx....So, since i had a good week (and i still haven't fixed the AC compressor in the CV), i spent the night in a hotel in Opelika AL last night, tonight i am in Hankamer TX, and I'll get into Laredo tomorrow , stop somewhere watch the race and eat dinner, then spend the night there. Unload monday AM, then wait and see how fast it takes fro 36 hours to go by sitting down there at the "J".....
