CHRISTMAS in JULY

First the great news..I GOT A NEW TRUCK!! It only had 25.5 miles on it. I put 4 times as many on it just driving home. HEY RAY..NO MORE BREAKDOWNS/DRIVESHAFTS?? And to GUS..WORKING HARDER HAS IT'S REWARDS..YOU WILL GET YOUR'S, WHATEVER THEY MAY BE.. Now here's the jist of it..

I was messaged that BOB (my DBL) wanted to talk to me on Friday about my truck. as you'll recall, I've had several breakdows.. I got in early to relay a load out of GARY, 41 miles in Chicago, so I went in t see BOB early. His first question was "WHAT DID I TELL WAYNE LUBNER (SCHNEIDER VP)?" Since I had coppied bob, I knew he knew..

Next he asked me to walk over to JOHN's (HIS TOM) office area where he tried indicating that I was in trouble of sorts. In the end he told me to clean out my truck, and he was sending me home early. BY THE WAY..PUT MY STUFF IN THE NEW 2009 FREIGHTLINER (YA only 25.5 miles on it). Over 4 hours later, I was headed home. It was like moving to a new apartment/home..I did a reasonable job of cleaning my old truck for the next driver to get it that afternoon.

Now for the other FOTO. My 2 years old GRANDSON, at the Marengo truckstop, where he and my daughter picked me up, took me home, where she cooked up a great lasangna.

While on the road this last time out, I did manage to run into



DARREL (GUS) and











ROBERTA (2U2), at GARY, where we had SMOKED VENISON SAUSAGE and TROUT (very hard to light). Gus also burned a Hawiian CD. GUS, I need a new one..I forgot that one in the player of the CD player. Language lessons for the next driver of this truck?? HE GUS, WHEN YOU GONNA UPDATE YOUR "IT IS WHAT IT IS BLOG"? ON THE BIG ISLAND??
