Hey Big Joe and everybody else.... it was only 34 this morning but what a Beautiful day it turned out to be! guess i can drain the swamp box this weekend, I'm glad the OVEN is off for a while! Now it's time to muck out the shop and get busy on the 65, still need to install the spindle's and work on the POS Dakota.

that can be tough on a family! my brother drove for swift for a while, they promised him long hauls and home at least every other month, needless to say it was short hauls on the east coast lots of layovers no miles and never home. so on his first run to the west coast he dropped the truck in phoenix at the terminal and just left it.
