As expected, pretty sore this morning after venturing into my house crawl space yesterday to do some investigating first hand. When I first moved in I had some work done under there. Based on reports and what I could see I knew it was very tight under there. Wow, I will give the guys credit that did the work, it is extremely tight. I had to contort my body just to get through the opening, pulling muscles left and right. Once in, there is no room to crawl, just wiggle and pull yourself along the best you can. Why in the world would this space be that small is beyond me

Was it worth the trip?

I don't even like crawling under my own van because it makes me feel claustrophobic. And you go and post something like this? AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

How much did you pick up?

Someone else had the same thought. Shipper guy: "This is unusual. This is the first time a shipment has to have a 'chain of custody' form."

So no, it was not worth it

At least I know I will not try that again!

I think I bumped my head while under the house. Today I initiated a process to get my License reinstated that I let lapse, for another career, that I swore I would never return to

It was slicker than snot on the side roads today. One turn the truck down shifted and went sideways then we stopped to back up for our drive we needed and when I hit reverse the rear slid out from under us at an idle no less. Can't wait for tomorrow. Pick up here then back to Detroit then south down 75. Ought to be a fun day !!!!!

That's scary. With my spin out I was probably only going about 15-20mph at the time thankfully, but it don't take much. Anything south sounds really nice right now.

With the continuing down trend over the last 2 years, just keeping a viable option available if worse comes to worse. Beats flipping burgers

Getting my towmotor certification as a backup when I get out of this business, amongst another plan......DOT officer is on my mind.....lousy pay but excellent benefits...Have another idea I need to look into as well.....I want a normal home life!

It's over rated I know. Normal=Rat race. But the calling seems to be getting stronger

It will take a lot more to get me to that point, but I can't say it does not creep more and more into my mind.
