ROFL We also had a Oh NO WAY run yesterday! Picked up a load in NC going to Wilmington WV. Get to the street the delivery address is on at about 01:30. Turn down the road (Spruce Street) take one looksey andOMG NO WAY! lol There we sit on a very narrow street in the middle of Wilmington looking up the street at the most monstrous hill I have ever seen lined with fraternity houses and drunken college kids everywhere, and to beat it all these kid start betting on weather we will make it to the top or not! Smokin tomatoes, NO WAY! NOT DOING THAT ONE! Keith gets out of the truck and decides to walk up the hill and can barely climb it on two legs (let me tell ya, Keith is in good shape!) He gets to the top and right at the top we would have to take a right hand turn onto another extra narrow street and there sits a car right on the corner of the turn! NOT HAPPENING! NO WAY! lol So we have to call dispatch have the contractor meet us on the side of the road to take the pallet of doors we were carrying off the truck! First the contractor says "oh semi's go up that hill all the time"! OMG that was a whopper! Keith just smiled and told him, yeah the frat boys told us how they watch cars trying to get up that hill, stall out and roll backwards down it and how they started taking bets as soon as they saw us round the corner. contractor got kind of sheepish and started laughing as he and his workers removed the doors and put them on 4-wheel drive trucks to take them up the hill to the frat house they were renovating. LOL
Now for today we are sitting at the J in Kirkersville, OH.
They say the cows in West Va. have longer legs on one side than the other, whats say you. So how much did you win on the bet they won't even try?
Awww Christmas snow....*LOL*

OOS is St. Augustine, FL. We're at our friends house(second home). Enjoying a little time off for a few days. Got another 4 hours worth of work on my half sleve yesterday, got probably 8 more hours before the half sleve is complete on my upper right arm. Got some work to do on the van tomorrow, have to wait for the dealer to open. Probably going back in service on tuesday.

Remember when going above 40 it makes more sense to use the air below 40 or idling I guess you can turn it of an broil LOL

Well thank you professor...let me guess you are at home in your cushy central air ?
LOL I wish, I live in a 109 year old farm house. I am sitting in the den/bedroom with a window air buzzing behind me struggling to keep the room at a comfortable 77
and a portable air unit down in the living room at about the same temp. The rest of the house is as hot as hell!!!
Only time I am comfortable is when I am in my truck with the AC blasting
I am by no means rich like you OVM
