Got a sm-all one at noon Sunday.
Off for my Sunday drive.
Here at the office and the rain is here. Time to get up and wash some clothes, take a shower and do some work.
I've purchased 8 polo Load One shirts, Can't wait to get them. More maybe on the way soon.

Now I wait 4 hours for the freight to get here. Wait time is longer than drive time. Every time I get a small one. However, I did see some often talked about but rarely seen.
Date Line Grove City: Steady is still waiting to get loaded. Freight that is.
So.....lets be clear. If Steady Eddie did get loaded (not frieght), then Steady Eddie wouldn't be so Steady now would he?

Well, had to add " freight " , you know what have the folks on here would say. However, made it to my drop..... Come back between 5 and 6 am.
Just unloaded a few hours ago. Got a load offer to TX, it was a no go. Here at Best Buy getting my satellite radio installed in the van. Here at this upscale mall with B Buy of course and Bass Pro Shops ect. Should be back in service tonight/morning.
P.S. Golden Corral is right across from the B Buy

I took a fastball to the head with a 5 am dry run.
Who ever came up with the term "dry run"?????? Odd when you think about it.
Well I'll be oos til Wed afternoon. Hoping not later than that. Order the parts at B Buy in Taylor and one of the parts was wrong. The new part will be here sometime tomorrow.
True. The run went dry/dried up. Lol. Maybe a good brain storm about it?
You'd think the term "dry run" would have its opposite - a "wet run." And it does.
There are lots of theories, especially now thanks to the Internet where some people believe the term originated with people who jogged in dry river and creek beds, but the oldest known use of the term in print is firefighter related. It originated probably in the mid-1800s or before with practice runs and such, and then became more formal a term when used in competitions. A "fire run" is the term used used by fire departments for a call-out to the site of a fire (kind of like a "beer run" only different). When new fire trucks (going back to horse-drawn hand pumps and steam powered pumps) were acquired, a "dry run" was (and still often is) performed to make sure everything is in working order. No water is carried for a dry run. When water is carried it's a "wet run."
In the 1800s when steam powered fire fighting apparatus was quite new and novel, it was common for fire departments or volunteer hose companies to give exhibitions or engage in competitions at carnivals ad fairs and similar events. There's a picture our firehouse where I live from the 1840s that showed the town's new fire truck(horse-drawn steam engine) and the caption reads "New Fire Apparatus on a Dry Run," The competitions, especially with man-powered pumps that had to be pushed or pulled to the fire had fairly standard rules of the number of men per team, do a Dry Run, standing start, each team to be allowed one trial; cart to carry 350 feet of hose in 50 foot lengths, etc.
It's easy to see how the term became synonymous with a practice run or a dress rehearsal.
Holy crap! Way to go Turtle! Now lets see what you can come up with, for "dry hump." I am a firm believer in the k.i.s.s method and regardless of the actual origins of the term itself. In my opinion the term "dry run," is more socially acceptable then the less politically correct but (lets be honest) more accurate terminology of: waste of motherf#&@ing time or even the more condensed: f#&@ing clusterf#&@..but thats just my take on it...You'd think the term "dry run" would have its opposite - a "wet run." And it does.
