2nd load for the week (another shorty), booked for Friday 
7 consecutive weeks since I even came close to hitting my minimum weekly goal.
It's not looking good, if things don't turn around fast. Simple math says May could be the crusher that puts me under or forces a change/exit.
On the bright side, we still have about 2 1/2 months till the next slow down period....

Perhaps it's time to bring out a layoutshooter method of solving problems like this.
Thats right boys and girls, its time to have a ... Hunker.
What can be better than beer and grilling red meat over an open fire.
I found winter. And, 3 foot of snow
Its turning here tho. Never got colder than half a degree above freezing. Still raining.
I'm told "please don't feed the bears" no worries there, I don't share with others well...
Going to head back to some form of civilization. Hopefully, with enough fuel (and hopefully an open station waiting) I don't like the price here
Yes it's a "city" but the population is 45,000 lol. I took a pic over the only streetlight bright enough to see, they need to put led's in the rest of town
See the country (by night.)
Worst pic ever. Anybody curious, the north of Ontario is a bunch of rocks and a bunch of trees. And, 30,000 lakes

A simple change of scenery helped me refocus and now I am finishing up plans to strip off 2 layers of Old Shingles on house and replacing with Steel. The target date is set for during the July shutdown. Either attend the EO Expo (lol) or save over $3,000. doing the Roof work myself.

Now to hit 3 hours of darkness, and choose my death: head on collision, or avoiding head on collision to fall to the rocks below (no curb, just cliff)
Just kidding. I don't need to do 140 in an 80 like the locals.
Really sobering to see all the roadside memorials here, seems like every 500 feet
Happy Easter weekend everybody! Hope you all get something to deliver n then family time

Just remember, we are living through what will be somebody's "good old days" 5 years from now. Every industry changes. We adapt or move on. Don't get worked up over things that can't be controlled. As I drive around I see closed plants, big & small, everywhere. Those people didn't leave the planet, they adapted. And, so shall we. I no longer follow one of the popular FB expediting sites, but I am told that John Elliott joined in a discussion on the financial status of many expeditors and how the industry may be headed for a shake up soon.

Well, so we deadheaded to Lake Park, GA and got a run on Tuesday from Baxley to Augusta. Had we stayed in Cordele we would have saved about $20 in gas by not making a big V on Georgia roads. Oh well.
Wednesday gave us a good run: Savannah to Westbury, NY. The peeps gave us $75 for tolls; we’ll see if it was enough. I tell ya what, though: I didn’t pay no stinking $19 to go over the Throgs Neck Bridge! I gladly suffered a little bit of Manhattan to go over the 59th Street Bridge for free; that’s enough to make two miles of Long Island City look good
. Did, however, spend an eternity in Chinatown and Tribeca trying to get to the Holland Tunnel; probably would have been the same uptown if I’d tried to take the Lincoln.
When we got out of NYC I said to Nancy, “well it was fun being back in the City, let’s never do that again”
Now at the TA in Bloomsbury. I’d like to get a run out, but if not, the house is only 101 miles away

I am not on Facebook, Instagram, or Messenger. Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg are too intrusive into our lives. True, not getting worked up over the smallest of things is great advice. I used to be that way. As many would beg to differ, I really am a laid back guy.
Times change? Sure do. The amount of closed automotive plants is astounding. Virginia Beach Ford, St. Louis Ford, Chrysler in Newark, De, The one in Jersey, just to name a few. Cutbacks and finding ways to make a product with less manpower.
Good Morning from Southern California. It's free, so don't forget to hope today. ❤
Hey Harry! NYC is a pain, but mostly because of the parkways we can't drive on. I usually pay the toll and take the VZ bridge, that way if highway backs up I can take surface streets through Brooklyn into Queens. Hope you get a

Excellent use of the app! Its amazing how some do not take advantage of all it has to offer.
You watch t.v. for 4 days? My, you must really be bored at times!...lol..

Worst part about the parkways is that Apple Maps doesn’t know I can’t use them. Sure, the Goethals to the Verrazano would be a lot faster, but if I can’t use the Belt, why bother? Coming out, I wanted to take 78 out to Bloomsbury, so only the Lincoln or the Holland really made sense.
As far as a whale, we’ll have to see...
