juju, I remember when I had a brain tumor removed. It really messes with your sensors sometimes. Don't be surprised if the young man has a few differences after surgery.

Sitting at a truckstop/casino east of San Diego. wind is blowing like crazy here. Caught the door and blew it open as I was trying to get out. Luckily I wasn't holding onto it otherwise I would have been tossed out :/ Temperature says 39 wind chill of 29, high of 40 and winds between 20&30mph. I thought Socal was supposed to be warm?? Hoping for a load east, but as bad as it sounds wouldn't mind it being until tomorrow due to the wind.

Spent yesterday in the casino and doing laundry. They have nice cushy chairs and couches in their tv room. Food here is GREAT and huge portions. Got Nick to play bingo with me last night. They have a prokotion if you have 10 pointa on your players card you get free bingo. the prize is for free play but it was still fun. I was proud of myself I didn't even yell the f word like last time.


Again thanks everyone for the thoughts and prayers for my aunt. no updates really.

Judy I am glad to hear that the surgery went well. Wishing a speedy recovery.

Ditto - though I know it's never speedy enough when it hurts.

Waited from Friday Afternoon till Tuesday morning to get up the board and that big load. No such luck 62 mile run to Holly (Didn't see Santa, so got a return trip. back at the yard to find me 14th :confused: up to 10th now. Oh the joy of the season :rolleyes:

Scrubbed the heck out of the van in the wash bay, stupid GPS led down a muddy dirt road to add to its michigan road look :eek:

--Wash Bay No soap and mens bathroom No soap at last check, cutbacks :p

I pre-soaked the van, and then brushed it down with the soap in the bucket, then rinsed it off, a perfect, non-soapy rinse!And a perfect wash, enjoying the new pressure! Improvise! Adapt!...lol.

I will check the wash bay tomorrow. The soap is in 55 gallon drums. I am guessing one must be empty, but we have 3 more drums sitting there. I am guessing the cleaning people took care of the bathroom but I will double check that as well.

Sitting at home, since Thanksgiving. 1 load offer, but another of the type that can't be done running elogs. Oh well.

Wife asked 'why would dispatch call with that, don't they know?'. Reminded her that it can be magically be done, using paper logs, like i used to do, and there are more drivers on paper logs than elogs. So dispatch doesn't need to worry about it.

Will d/h north, soon, since NC seems to be a dead area right now.

Cheers, all :)
Those Elog's are not my cup of tea, I run for a fleet owner here and I have been here 7mth's and made more money then any other place iv'e worked. they treat you like family here, If I had the resource's I would put a couple of truck's on with John, they go above and beyond more than any other company iv'e been with!!!and their Dispatcher's are top notch couldn't ask for any more than that.

Yup that's what I ended up doing. Actually did a pre and post soak lol. The one bin had pretty good soapy water still in it. Came out pretty nice :)
