December freight & fun

First shot at actually getting a load this month. No freight ready @ pick-up time but dispatch actually got it right this time, well almost, sent me to a address that doesn't exist but I found it and there should be freight going out today. They just have to manufacture it first.
But hey I just may have a load.
All in with FSC $1.09 I just maybe able to get hot dogs for Christmas dinner.
(But first I need to check my Pilot points to see if I'm qualified for hot dog's.) :eek:

Just driving down the freeway in the rain around 45f little wind. Wipers on, then looking at my wiper through my driver window

It broke off just after the bendy knuckle thing (technical term) that attaches to the van. Just for you I dug through the Walmart trash to find the arm, I wasn't searching for the end piece that connects to the van ewwww

Not great pics, but here they are, I still can't believe how that thick end piece can do a clean break...

Got home last Wednesday because of acute pain in my shoulder. Saw my doctor Thursday. X-ray showed a bone spur. Had an MRI which revealed a tear in on of the rotator cuff tendons. Surgery this afternoon which will probably keep me OOS until next year. Not a bad time of year to be sidelined, though I will miss naming my own price for shippers looking to move something between Christmas and New Years.
