Got one...94 mile DH from Olive Branch Ms to Guntown Ms..talk about bein in the middle of no where....Got to the pu on time and they had np idea who i was or what i was suppose to get...seems my 1700 pu time is 2.5 hours AFTER they go home for the day....they made several calls, I called dispatch and after 45 minutes i was told, "Dry run"....

So..after sitting since last weds at 0630 till today..i now show 2 hrs of LA time and 1 hr of LL time.....and no DH pay.....

Lets hope dispatch can find something out of here that will make up for this mess that was not of their doing.....

Just got the update...the doc's removed a golf ball size tumor from this young mans head and while they don't think it's malignant, they'll still do a biopsy. Long hard day for the family, but we're cautiously optimisic!

Hope everything goes well for him. Scary for someone that young. Also thinking of Jenny's aunt. Hope all goes well with her as well.

Still at the yard. Transmission reseal is complete, going back to DRS for the charge air cooler tomorrow. Thought the APU was fixed, as it ran fine in the shop. Got back here and it crapped out in 20 minutes. :mad:

Went over to the hospital to see Dennis this morning. He's improving, but he's still in ICU. He knew us and even through the drugs, he knows what is happening. He doesn't remember the accident though. If anyone wants to send a card or visit, he's at Oakwood Main Hospital.

Any updates this morning jenny/juju hope all is well. We are all still thinking of you. Did you two get out of Tucson. Talked to a friend of mine in el paso last night and it was snowing like crazy there.

We didn't get out of ga. Yesterday but did get the cables on the back door fixed.at a really great little trailer shop in gainesville . Place called airport trailer service. Did a very good job, labor rate of 60.00 per hour.

Well with any luck we will get loaded today. Need to get going, got 72 hr. Set time so we are ready to go.only a few weeks left before the Xmas/new years break. Need a couple good weeks for the time off.
