Thanks for asking Mark but I hate to say that they really haven't helped with anything this time. All they really did was make me look just a little bit funnier than I normally look when I got them last week. LOL! I think I just have too much going on right now (stress wise) to try to relax and let them do their jobs...
So apparently you get a lot of funny looks when you're hauling a twisted up old International with no body on it. Got that truck brought up to the auction yard today in order to get rid of it.
There were at least five 7.3s there and one DRW 5.9 with a handshaker.
Cris ive wondered about your head aches too, I hope ya get some success with that.
Hey Lisa
Mark, recipe looks AWESOME, i hope ya dont mind but I saved it and am gonna try it one of these days.
Ive been installing pex piping in the new house. THe crooked assed plumber made a deal with us that I would dig him a hole, and he would do our sewer and fresh water piping, and yesterday he said he didnt ever agree to that. He almost got a rearranged mouth today when he came back to talk to me, but Sandi stopped me from whooping his ***, damn her.
Made my day a little more exciting then usual I must admit

I'm sorry the shots aren't working. They helped a little last time didn't they?

Ive thought about sending him a bill, and going and filling half the hole in for him (half a job by me, for his half a job) but I figure screw it. He will need a tow out of the ditch or something sometime, and Ill be there to drive by and wave!
I dont know for sure if I believe in Karma 100 percent, but something will come back to bite him.
On Edit: Mark your so right about now a days you cant trust a mans word.
I'm doing pretty well. My V10 buddy is an OTR driver for FedEx as a full-time job. I believe he got 1st in the regional truck safety rodeo so he went to nationals in Pennsylvania this past week.
When I saw him today he said he placed 18 out of just under 50 and was all mad because he placed 17 out of almost 60 last year.
Basically they have them hook and un-hook from the trailer, do safety inspections, have them maneuver the trucks, etc. It's pretty neat.

Karma exists. I have seen it first hand.
See here's the thing. If he screwed you over and lied to you, he's screwed over and lied to other people over too. You aren't the only one.
Basic human nature to turn your back on someone who has taken advantage of you. You're right, he'll get what's coming to him.
Short story: had an old boss deal me a bad hand once upon a time. Miss skinny, big tatas, I mean, I was really young and trusting at the time and she really did a doozie on me. Looked her up recently, and not only did she get demoted and fired, her husband divorced her @$$....best part was one of the stories I was reading had a picture, and she had gained like 100 lbs too.

Wow. I had no idea such a thing existed. Is there anything people don't compete in?

Oh yeah, there's bus "roadeo's" too. Bus drivers have to do a pretrip, then negotiate a mock course of picking up passengers, driving down narrow offset streets, drive the right side duals through a bunch of tennis ***** without knocking them over etc. My dad used to "coach" the regional champion for a few years in the late 80's.
Yeah I remember we kinda talked about that the other night a wee bit, I believe it kinda sorta too!

What did she do? (if its classified I understand!)

Some of those trailer spotter drivers are excellent. I swear some of them can dock a truck in an area with 2 inches per side clearance in a truck with no windows. Its all practice.... and thats the only thing some drivers do, take trailers from staging lots into and out of docks all day long. I have never heard of a spotting competition, but like anything else speed and " making it look easy" comes with sheer repetition.
