Speaking of that...next time you come home grab me a half bushel on your way home...I've just been experimenting with apples and rhubarb sauce and it's pretty good with a little cream poured over the top.

And I've got an idea for that toaster oven...grab some fresh broccoli or cauliflower or snap peas, drizzle it with olive oil and sea salt and roast it up for about15 minutes..mmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMM GOOD!

Sorry about that Turtle. I did not realize you had been there that long. (Not that I am the guy who books loads but I still didn't realize). The system clocks reset when a dry run occurs as they have to final out the load in a dry run status so we can bill and pay the unit. A part of the system that I don't particularly love.

I figure you have enough on your plate without having to worry about me. That's what you pay those in Operations for. :D

Out of curiosity, and it doesn't matter in this case (cause I've been sitting for more than 48 since the Dry Run), but does a Dry Run interrupt Layover time? It is Layover OR Dry Run, or can you get both if the Dry Run occurs in the middle of a Layover?

Actually now you can cashout again....that was a paid run and now you get a new 48 hours...
