Geez, finally back in service. Go out to check my position, and what catches my eye. A nail head shinning in the sunlight flush in the tire. Off to get that fixed. Glad I saw it now then under load and still inflated. Makes me wonder how nails can get perfectly in like that, like it was hammered in

Back at it again. Turns out it was not a nail, but part of a screw, had one in each front tire. They were removed, luckily they were short and did not penetrate so no cost to remove

Now as I wait for a load, the delivery of my 5 day cooler courtesy of the rewards program will arrive today. I wonder which will occur first

Well, the City of Detroit has filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy.

Saw something on the Documentary channel about the corruption that has taken place in Detroit since the 50's. It was unbelievable to see some of the things that took place by some many different people.

It has been a sad and steady history if corruption and sometimes simple ineptness. Really sad for what was once a crown jewel and the arsenal of democracy.

My very first load of being an Expediter was to Oregon, OH. My very first Load with Load One, picked up in Oregon, OH. Not a Home Run, but I did get on 1st base....

It's a rather pleasant morning here..even turned off the AC and opened some windows!

jelliott · Jul 19, 2013

Supposed to have some good storms moving through here later this afternoon. Good news is that is supposed to be the thing that finally breaks this hot spell.
