No rain today. Or at least right now. Went out back in the muck to feed and water chickens.

Ate some of that brisket I made. Best one yet. I don't think I'm gonna freeze any of it, just eat a lot of it and give away a lot of it. Gives me an excuse to do another.

Leaving out from North Carolina this evening west bound for a noon delivery Friday in Seattle, WA. It’s 2,800+ miles. Assuming my load is ready on time (I’ve never been delayed here) I’ll be on the road by 1830. Staying close to the speed limits and taking mandatory breaks I’ll be there as early as 0300 Friday. Does look like I’ll have to dodge a little snow between Thursday and when arrive Friday. But Washington is well equipped to keep the roads open so I should be fine.

Late lunch with one of my old coworkers. Great chat, he’s doing well with both short and mid term planning on a business idea.

Couple firsts during out get together.

Ate Frickles and Burnt Ends.
Didn’t see them on the heart healthy area of the menu.
Probably an Oversight.

A couple of weeks ago I tried a Pinot Noir from Costco that we really liked quality and price. Made a note to stock up on that one. Went back today .... gone.

It's more miles than my wife drove in 2023. And over half of mine last year.

Well... considering I drove from CA to FL... then FL to NY and back... then FL to CA and back in the last 2 years, I got some mileage on the 2020 RAM 1500. Just rolled over 44,000.

Also went from Temecula to SF and back a few times with it... and down to Bahia de Los Angeles in MX...

USPS taking my T52s on a tour of Chicagoland. Supposed to be here Friday. Then it said today. Now it says tomorrow but it was just scanned back in to Bedford Park 30m ago. Doubt it.

Did get my new exhaust fans for the garage that were supposed to come tomorrow though, so win some lose some.

Got em installed and enjoying a cigar without having to open the door to ventilate and lose my heat.

There's another box of cigars shipped with the ups/usps combo that always seems like mistakes get made. When it works out, it goes ups to my post office or at least one of the usps distribution centers nearby.

This one says that it was delivered to the post office in palatine, IL. So now I gotta wait for that post office to ship it to the IL distribution center, to the Gary distribution center, then to my post office. That box was supposed to land today. Maybe weds or Thurs.

Thankfully the two LFRs of aged Darklord I shipped to Akron got there unscathed and on time today. I was worried about them, did a beer cigar trade and told the dude to hold on shipping in case of breakage or loss as replacing those bottles would be impossible. One bottle was one of 500, in 2017...

So I get backed into a spot in at the Pilot in Nitro, WV about 00:15 Eastern Time. I look over at the truck on my right and the driver rolls his window down. This can’t be good. He tells me that I have a flat. Says one of my tires slipped a bead. So I get out and sure enough the outer tire on my passenger side tractor drive axle is flat. WTF? It’s a new virgin tire, not a retread. It’s only been on my tractor maybe 2 weeks. I looked over every inch and didn’t see a nail or anything like that. Then I pulled forward about 2 feet and looked again. Still can’t find anything piercing it. Hopefully, when I fuel in the AM I can get it to inflate. If not it’s another stop at a tire shop.
