Okay, Okay!!!
We have a shock collar too, and both the dog and I run when the wife picks it up!
Mark, err Hang_Loose, watcha need buddy? Another dog?
I've logged over 10,000 miles the last 3 weeks, and about 20 hours of sleep, and even though I now have mobile internet, people get angry for some unknown reason when I try to read the Forum and 13 tons of fish truck drifts in to the wrong lane....Of course once I show these people that I ran into a ditch what I was reading, and pull them out, pay for damages, etc, they become new loyal members. The damages thing cuts in to the profit margin, and I don't think ewest will give me pro bono representation, so I had to start watching the road more.
TJ, if you want to hear about the latest adventures, make an appointment with Dr. Bruce when I'm there in the next couple weeks. There is a whole season's worth from the run 2 weeks ago where I had to sneek QUIETLY on to the Conderosa, at 2am no less...not easy to do with a 13 ton 425HP diesel truck...but only Bruce can say if I woke his guest or not and was thereby successful in the task he gave me.
Sunil, I'll send you an email to see what new creatures you would like to add soon, but if I now have to endure a sattelite guided shock muzzle, your delivery price is going WAY up for the entertainment value added.
If you want to know some of the highlights of the run to Nebraska, they would include learning that my truck slides like a dirt track car instead of rolling when you hit an exit 30mph too fast, and if you don't panic, drifting through the turn is a lot of fun in a heavy truck. I never expected to steer left through a hard right turn! SK63 wasn't real happy to learn that I put his 75 pounds of shiners in someone elses pond, but the people at my last stop were tickled to death to get 175 pounds of tilapia instead of the 80 pounds ordered because I left my scales on top of my truck at SK's.
Or when I delivered fish at 4am to one of Shawn Banks clients, SOMEWHERE, and got stuck, called a 30 ton wrecker to pull me out then had to call a wrecker with a 120,000 pound winch to pull me AND the wrecker out. After getting out, the ignition switch failed so I had to disassemble the steering column to get the thing started---oh yeah, the wrecker bill was $1241.17. Thank goodness Nate is such an easy going guy since the 3500 Jumbo Bluegill he had ordered, died about 30 minutes before being delivered when the oxygen tank ran out and they suffocated before the other tank got hooked up....another grand lost.
Seriously though, I have a blast when I get to meet all the great PB people and all the other customers!!!
