    March 2016, where are you going ??

    Sat in Aurora until Wednesday night. At 2130, picked up a load to Seattle. Delivered it two hours ago, now in a room in Renton. Rest today, maybe tourism tomorrow; that's if I can get rid of the crick in my neck :mad: Was a long but beautiful trip up here. Now for the challenge of getting out...

    new guy on the block.

    All this talk of learning the job in a straight and then transferring the knowledge to a van, is just a joke. Experienced vanners try to dissuade newbies from jumping into the pool because there are way too many vans out here as it is. As a skill, driving a van isn't rocket science. Being a...

    Might be moving on!

    Sounds insane, but therapeutic mastectomy is seen as a legitimate option, so there could be a case made for therapeutic amputation. Might be a challenge finding a surgeon willing to do it, let alone an insurance company willing to pay for it :eek:

    Antonia Scalia dies

    Ginsburg and Scalia were close friends also, despite being polar opposites at decision time. There's something to be said for not letting your differences damage your relationships :)

    I escaped in 1961 and have no interest in returning. Advantage of NJ is cheaper fuel vs PA, but other than that, fuggedaboudit.

    Mercedes Recall

    Did the math, tho. Diesel at the Pilot in Lethbridge, AB is $2.29 (converted to USD and gallons), vs $1.69 in Shelby, MT. If you want Chivas Regal, ya gotta pay for it :)

    Not much to report. Enjoyed the room and the lobstah, then went home last Thursday. Since then, getting the rust repaired over the windshield so that Safelite will replace it, then I can get the van inspected. Taxes done as well. Tentative return to duty on the 22nd after refund comes in.

    Cargo Van Upfit to Van
