This is why I wont run a blog on this site.

It takes bandwidth and disk space and trolls! :x

 

Glad you wrote that, I was just going to say you looked like a bat.

 

hate to admit I laughed at that.

 

I don't get it

 

I am a bat.

Anyway, just keep it on the up and up, people. When these long threads get out of hand, it takes far too long to go in and edit nastiness. When the complaints start coming in, we'll just go out and lock the thread down. Hate to do that when there's a lot of good info, but there's really no other choice. This ain't the playground.

 

I know I just felt like sayin something stupid. Lighten the mood. 8)

 

It is so cold here today I'm glad I didn't leave. I just can't imagine someone having to tarp a load in this weather. It's below zero and with the wind chill it's below -25.

I just went down and took my truck for a little ride. It started real slow even with 4 brand new Optima Yellow top batteries but it fired up quick. Every light on the panel was on and the computer was complaining that everything that could fail was failing. The shop said ignore it for a minute and they all go away. Happens in the cold weather. Yup, he was right.

I'm impressed how quick the engine heats up and puts out heat. I'll bet in the old days the trucks never really warmed up. I have a small electric heater and I had that going also. Good day for my Mad Bomber Hat.

 

When you are gonna be parked for a couple of days you need to crank your truck and let it idle for an hour or so every day or two. Cold weather and truck batteries suck! I would imagine that if you didnt have those Optimas she wouldn't have spun off. You are keeping your block heater plugged up aren't ya?

 

How are the load boards looking up that way? My dad and a quite a few of the other O/O's have had a really slow week down here in the Southeast! He has been out since sunday and has only hauled 3 loads. Been a whole lot of sitting and looking for loads down here this week.

 

and you just registered-Darn
