Change in Plans

A small change in plans, apparently both my trucks will be done today,so no trip in the dually this time. Almost two weeks at home and hardly anything done at all. Well I did get some new software installed, so I guess it wasen't a complete loss. I also put a new lift pump on the dually. Which,by the way,should have been done under warrenty. Hill-Kelly Dodge in Pensacola said it went out because I had a 115 gal aux tank put in the bed. They couldn't explain how the truck was running by gravity feed out of that tank, but they said it strained the pump. And they wanted 650 dollars to fix it. I had the pump overnighted from Indiana and it took about an hour to put on. Total cost 326 dollars. I think I might just get a spare pump to carry with me. The heart attack comes this afternoon, both of my big trucks are supposed to be done today. I'm looking at around 9000 dollars for the two. And it might even be higher. Oh well, I didn't really want to retire this year anyway,lol.
I added a few more links to Ham friends in trucks, and while I was at it I put every bodies call sign in with their names. I don't know if anybody checks these links out or not, but it is interesting to see where everybody is and where they are heading. You can also see their speed and elevation. Lots of info there. I actually get calls when I'm on the road from people who follow me if I don't move for awhile. Last trip I had a little time so I stayed in Jackson,Ms. and read a book. Dan and Tony Baloney thought I'd had a heart attack so they got the manager at the Flying J to come out and check on me. I'd let my cell phone go dead and nobody could call. Lazy bums were afraid they'd have to be pall bearers!

Hey, just found your blog, love the photos. I'm new to this whole blogging thing and have just set up my own, was wondering how you put those time and weather things on your blog? where do I enter the code to do a similar thing on mine?

You'll have to find a clock somewhere and it will have the code to copy and paste. Then you can read in blogger where to put it. The weather thing you can click on the bottom in my blog and it will take you to their site.It works the same way as the clock just copy the code into the appropiate place in your blog. Hope this helps I'm not a real wiz with blogging either.
