You really can't make that sh!t up! All the room in the world and want to still be nice and close. It's like when you drop a trailer off so you can unload the material in the truck, no matter how many cones you put in front of the trailer or how far out of the way you park it, inevitably someone will park so it's next to impossible to hook back up to the trailer

Made it home about 7:30pm. From Santa Rosa to OKC I had a 35-40 mph north wind hitting me broadside. Made for a long day. 60-65 mph I could comfortably handle it. Any faster and a passing truck would really move me around. I’ll post pics of my acquisition in the morning, weather permitting.

I am BEAT!

Yeah. Shop foreman is in the hospital and down for the count the rest of the year so I’ve assumed some (most) of his duty along with mine. It’s been crazy trying to figure out how to get it all done this week. We are headed to Branson for the weekend and I already told mom not to expect me Thursday. She wasn’t very happy.

Oh and one of our drivers quit....gotta love it! Haha

Getting on a plane this morning. When did people get in such a big damn hurry and lose what little manners they have? Geez we haven’t even taken off and I’m about ready to snap. They act like the plane is their own private jet. Rules don’t apply. Bump into you with their overloaded bags or giant a$$! It’s comical lol. flying

Reminds me of why I seldom fly!

After flying as many as 180,000 miles a year for work, I no longer get in airplanes unless there is no other option. Normally at airports I always check to see if the rental car return has there own TSA entry point. Minneapolis has a great one with no lines ever. I use it whenever I fly, rental car or not. San Francisco has no options but long lines. I have at times flown from Oakland to SFO just to avoid the SFO TSA mess. A total of 8 miles as the crow flies. Short flight but still worth 500 frequent flyer miles. They used to have a $49.00 flight.

I took two of our 6 week old Pyrenees down to see the girls at the bank. In about 30 seconds they (girls) were all on the floor in the lobby in their dresses playing with the pups. You should have seen the look on the face of the guy that came in to make a deposit.

My pup is a great wingman. Between him and my 4 year old boy I can’t lose! Lol. He spent a couple days with the girls in the Topeka office this week. They spoiled him rotten!
