I didn't take this one.

5. "They told me at the Blood Bank this might happen."

4. "This is just a 15 minute power nap they raved about in the time Management course you sent me to."

3. "Whew! Guess I left the top off the Whiteout. You probably got here just in time."

2. "Did you ever notice sound coming out of these keyboards when you put your ear down real close?"

And the NUMBER ONE best thing to say if you get caught sleeping at your desk...

1. Raise your head slowly and say, "...in Jesus' name, Amen."

Currently I'm laid over in Orlando, FL, waiting for a load out. That wouldn't be so bad, except that there is a AES (Amateur Electronic Supply) in Orlando. It is easily & legally truck accessible. (good when you need something, bad for my wallet!)

I am now the proud owner of a Heil ProSet 5

I can, without exaggeration, say that this headset is the most amazing audio experience of my life! I plugged it in to my computer to play a few mp3's to try them out. I had no idea. I heard things, harmonies, fingers hitting strings, even little mistakes. All things that were covered by poor audio reproduction. Wow! With these headphones I can tell the difference between a digital & analog mastered recording.

I can't say enough about them. I can't wait to try them on my Kenwood TS-480HX.

Of course, I also bought a few other tools & books & stuff.

Don't ask how much I spent!

I took this one in Conway, Arkansas.

Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Much has been spoken of the risks involving the use of mobile phones at gas stations. Here, the situation was even more serious because the employee was preparing the truck for the unloading of fuel and opened the mouth of truck tank and illuminated the interior with his phone (observe when he takes the phone of the pocket). Well, phones are not explosion-proof equipment, a small spark generated by the press of the key was sufficient. His clothes caught fire by being impregnated with fumes from gasoline. He died three days later. Note that the hose was already connected to the underground tank.

Less than 2 weeks now before I get to go home!

I'll be home for a week starting April 19th. That's just a few days short of 7 weeks out this time.

I'm picking up an air freight load for Orlando, FL now. Maybe I can take a swim in one of the freshwater lakes while I'm down there.

Think it's expensive to fill up your car?

You can't let your guard down against the weather yet. Winter is still hanging on by it's fingertips. We are in the twilight zone between winter & spring where temperatures rise above freezing during the day and drop below at night. This causes the snow to melt during the day, and re-freeze into black ice at night.

Speaking of letting your guard down, CRST had a truck, trailer & load stolen last night. The drivers left the truck at the fuel aisle and went into the Pilot in Lake Havasu City, AZ (I-40, exit 9). Good move guys...

Are you old enough to remember this?

This would make a great ringtone if it was available. It's not, I've looked.
Too bad the guy's camcorder didn't pick up the basses any better.

Found this site: IHateCilantro.com

There are three groups of people in the world: most people like cilantro, another group can't stand it, and my group can't taste it.

Until a few years ago, I didn't even realize that parsley & cilantro (coriander) actually had a taste. I thought it was simply a garnish, something to make a nice presentation. All I get from it is a weak, vague, grassy taste. On the other hand, some people get something completely different. It can make some physically ill. It seems to be an inherited missing enzyme. It's not that they just don't like it, it is a totally different, vile, taste to them. Kinda like looking at blue and seeing orange.

Sunday morning I was dropping a load of air freight at Cincinnati - Northern Kentucky International Airport. I didn't realize that I had to take a ramp on my right to make the left turn off the main road. It was 0300 in the morning. That's the only way I got away with it. I ended up having to drive right through the passenger terminal. The area where passengers are dropped off & picked up, under the walkways & driveways to the parking structure. This was with a tractor pulling a full size, 53' long, 13' 6' tall trailer. I have no idea how I made it through that gauntlet.

It was 0300 in the morning on a Sunday in Kentucky. I don't think I saw a single human being the whole time.
