Actually took her to Whitt's Bar-B-Que in Athens for a pound and a half of pork. Good stuff!
So her maiden name was on her drivers license, but not her passport. We had to make a trip to the health department to get a copy of her birth certificate and marriage license to prove who she was before she could get printed... That was $30 we did not expect. But, by 4PM we were both printed to the tune of $86.50 each (plus her $30) for a $200 journey... So it begins.
Took a load over to Chicago land from Michigan.
Made delivery with 5 mins to spare, even though I was a hour early
Someone goofed on the delivery time

Freaky Friday has led us to grabbing a couple pallets of Almond Milk near Gilroy and taking them up to Seattle area. And the beat goes on....View attachment 19226

Lol...had to go there didn't ya. Ok don't go to Texas or Ohio. Gee..I think, I'll stay put till the summer is over. Nah...got bill to pay, Lol...
Many that haven't been west think Seattle is on the Left Coast. No, no, no - you have to drive hours to get to the ocean. And once here, I'm told it's beautiful, but again, No, no, no - when you get here you can't SEE the ocean. Here is a picture of the Pacific looking west while standing ON the beach. I'm told you can see Russia from here

St Johnsbury, VT ....
After a very long, profitable week I wanted to take it slow today. Change the oil, take a shower & relax. Weather is beautiful here right now!
Found a quiet, shady spot & casually went about changing the oil. I may have been enjoying a malt beverage to quench my thirst .. but who's to say? As usual, I start poking my nose around the engine compartment. I go to check the turbo intake hose to make sure it's secure & I notice shiny oil on part of the hose .... crap! I remove the hose & see that oil has been spraying mostly underneath it; fortunately it's not much. The breather hose from the oil separator, that feeds into the turbo intake, cracked and broke right underneath the spot where the clamp secures it. You'll notice in the first photo, a 1/4"-1/2" piece of jagged rubber has broken off & is still attached to the vent valve. My peaceful afternoon just went to sh*t Well, it could always be worse. I finished the oil change & went to take a shower.
The closest anytime fitness is like 60 mi away, so I needed another option. Before arriving, I looked for truck stops in this area & basically came up with nothing. I found a gas station in town, Maplefields, & decided to call them to see if they knew of a truck stop in the area with showers. They tell me they have showers. Great! I ask them how much ... $7 ... nice. I drive 5 min over to this place & it looks brand new. Shower was fantastic. It has a nice convenience store, a small eating area with 5 tables, electrical outlets & free wifi. Since it looks like I might be hanging around for a couple of days, this place is perfect!
Tomorrow I'll see who can get me the parts in 2 days the cheapest. In the mean time, I might just cut the rough edge that's left on the breather hose & see if I can reconnect it. When I get up & running I'll go to Montreal to see family. I haven't been there in like 5 yrs.

Vacation is over, six weeks flew by. Gave Seattle two days, one would ya, no joy. Loaded out of Chicago land for AL. Now mt in the Buffalo, NY area. Would be nice to get a run to Des Moines, IA. Have tickets for the Knoxville Nationals.
Nothing major..... just a minor problem that affects millions of men as they age... enlarged prostate.
I had a Roto-Rooter done on mine last year. Way better now, I could even go hours between pee'ing now.

Saw something new today out here in the Seattle area. While pot is becoming more readily available around the country, today I saw a drive up/thru Dispensary in what looked like one of the old Fotomat booths. In competition with all the drive thru liquor stores you see.

I guess it was Murray Freeman 's turn to take care of Oakley's diaper this morning because he was at it early booking us a 2000+ miler on a Monday morning down to DFW. Good start to the week PLUS getting out of Seattle quickly is a bonus.
