Yup, lol.
I wanted to razz the guy a bit... but he was really nice and threw out a bunch of compliments on my truck... so I felt bad.
Should be a little over 450 miles tomorrow. Debating whether or not to pull the front calipers tonight and lube them tomorrow.... seems the passenger front is sticking a tad.

Man, it's been a long time since I did a "Down East" run. Ended up making a decent deal on the trip: Guy paid me $300, it cost me $120 for fuel/tolls, and $65 for the trailer, (Truck BARELY FIT on the trailer!) total Net: $115 in my pocket. Pretty good deal.
Mileage wasn't too bad considering the weight, total truck/trailer/cargo/plow was probably a tad over 8,000 lbs, and the truck w/trailer got 15.35mpg@55mph fully loaded, and 16.34mpg@70mph unloaded.
Overall a good experience.

Good Afternoon All! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.
Well... we have the new schedule at work today... and I can honestly say this is one of the worst cluster-f***s I have ever seen, especially since we are in a non-emergency situation.
At least during an emergency you expect it.
The new "boss" has tied the supervisors hands as to who/when they can hire people in, and we are now working in unsafe conditions, for both inmates and staff. Thats what happens when a "yes-man" is hired an the only thing that matters is if it looks good on paper. To hell with the people involved, it looks good and saves a little money... so we'll do it, no matter the cost!
On the positive note, my new work schedule is much better, only work 1/2 the year now...literally. 12 hour shifts are nice, too.
Just witht he overtime was still available.
