The Espar he's talking about is for preheating the coolant, better heat. I have one for the engine and one for me.

Question to retired expediters...is there ever a point where you stop randomly falling asleep for hours, or do you go back to normal?
Every time I think I'm ok, boom, out cold. Apple crisp came out REALLY crispy

I think this is an aging issue more than anything. The older I get, the easier it is to fall asleep. Normal changes.
Could be! Some other signs, I think I'm getting set in my ways. No matter how many times I walk out the side door I always bang my head off the doorframe
I've had to slap myself on Canadian highways (and also in the States) in the face on those over night runs from Chicago to Toronto... Music, fresh air lets see what else works... I'm not into those runs where the sun greets you anymore and no sleep was to be had. 
Oh I'll hang up my hat if I start passing out on the road! Was lying on the couch at the time, planning everything I was going to do today
The slap in the face means its time for a nap...
And yep we've all been there, just trying to get across nothing beats a short nap regardless of what it does to your arrival time
The word short and nap don't go together for me I'll keep trying them though. I did run a team load solo from Austin Tx to Orange County CA back in November in 24 hrs direct with a 2.5 hr nap at the TA in Benson AZ. $1500 and no work for 4 weeks will give you some good motivation! I left my ringer on and dispatch kept blowing my phone up so I got moving the load into CA customer claimed they wanted it direct and when I got there about 30 miles away at 9pm PST customer says go ahead and deliver in the morning, so all that for nothing.

Even as a teenager I'd stay up days at a time for no reason. Just harnessed it with this job. Gotta stay honest with myself if that changes though

Watched Vanishing Point a couple days ago. Meh
Some classics don't seem to age well
Zombie flicks excepted, wonder what it would have been like to see Night of the Living Dead when it came out
Saw Easy Rider when I was 15 hopped up on hospital painkillers, I was shocked and in a rage at the ending lol
That was great movie, watched with my wife recently.
Nice and hot, 83F in Laredo. Shorty pre-planned since Saturday morning. Let's see if they want it shipped quick. Good night all.
