Yep Syracuse, should have figured there was a reason for the crazy high rate.

Do you ever wonder " Why did they pay that rate " ?

Maybe because people with radios weren't bidding ?

Be safe. Don't be afraid to park it. They'll get over it. Heck, you may sit on it a day waiting on them .

All good. I'm 90 mins out and no flakes yet. Good drive so far. Heck, I even blew right through Chitown.

No flakes ?

Is there a mirror on your visor ?

Eluding to the fact that he may see a "flake" by glancing in his mirror.

Yeah. No stopping for THIS flake.
Empty Deerfield.
Then a hot shorty from Madison to Dundee, IL.
At least Madison was kinda on the way to Deerfield. Saved some miles since I was 3+ hours ahead of my protect.

We are at the house, sorta got forced here a few days before we wanted to come home by the red geyser of anti-freeze spouting from the top of the radiator. Oh the joys.

I didn't used to be obsessive about knowing the weather before accepting loads, but the past few months have added that metric to the equation. A 'glutton for punishment' has never been high on my list of what I want to be when I grow up, lol.
