Good Morning CGs!

Chilling to the bone cold this morning. A big fat goose egg 0* when I woke up with a "real feel" of -14. Should make it up to 12 today....Oh boy.

I feel tired today although I slept just fine. I'm in need of some R&R. I took a few days off next week so that will help out in that regard. Looking forward to it.

Hope everyone has a great day!

.....it's the not so fine negative 9 out there with the wind chill of -21......takes pioneer stock people to live i this country......crazy cold out there.......wonder how bad it is up in Gopher country.....?

Well the tests turned out ok.......thanks for the Mojo......don't have to go back for 5 years.....always a relief to get a clean bill of health....the drugs were great......

We were out in Tee land at Garden City with a load of feed grade Urea.....I wasn't driving, it was one of the drivers. We hauled it up from Enid.... There is no difference in feed grade urea and fertilizer urea products......urea is a 46% nitrogen product that is used on crops and in animal feed.

So when we get to Garden City they reject the load because we did not wash out the trailer after the last load we hauled.....the trailer was completely clean but not washed out because we did not know that it had to be. The place that loaded us was supposed to see a paid ticket from the wash out place before we loaded but they did not ask.....and we are dumb so did not know any of this as the broker did not say anything either......

So there we sit in Garden City with a rejected load and nobody knows what we are to do with it... It takes hours of me yelling and cursing at folks to try and get a decision on what to do. I finally called some of my guys and got the load sold but we can't figure out who the owner of the load is.....the Coop in GC was the owner but they rejected it so now what......seems it goes back to the original broker who booked the load out of Enid. Problem is that is not the broker we booked with. So what we had was some double dipping where one broker books a load that belongs to another broker because he has an immediate need......its against the law but happens all the time I am told.

So the load is on my truck which is back here now and we are still waiting on a resolution to the mess.....if all else fails I will sell it since I am a fertilizer wholesaler and take out my freight and then give the rest to who ever they decide should get it........ what a freaking mess.....all because of we did not know you had to wash out a trailer.......

That is my story and I am sticking to it........have a good day Guru's......try to stay warm North bound folks.........

Holy crap sounds like a mess.

I have a different rejected load and have asked for someone to come get it as well

17 with 4 windchill

LOL. The best I've ever had were the ones they give you before they knock your ass out.

I'm sure you've encountered rejected loads before.

Hidey-ho! More good news/bad news - not only does the "-" on my truck's thermometer work flawlessly, but it continues to do so even when there are multiple digits to the right of it. And my coffee mug managed to keep my coffee hot while I was in the dentist's office getting a cleaning this morning.

A mess indeed, Marcus - good luck!

Have a good day, Gurus!

Morning guys.....Those darn southwest Kansas jerks! They are all the same. Sorry for all the problems, Marcus. The people over in the 'city' are picky I guess.

It's cold out again this morning, 2 above, but feels like 6 below and the wind isn't really blowing very hard. Headed to the mid 20s today and by Monday it's supposed to be mid 50s. How's that for a turn around?

Headed out to the shop here pretty quick. Just a good day to stay indoors.

21 out sun is shinning. Big storm they perdict for tomorrow.

18 DEGREES AND AN INCH AND A HALF OF UNEXPECTED SNOW WHEN I GOT UP THIS MORNING. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS ONCE AGAIN HUMILIATED BY OKLAHOMA WEATHER :-) TRANSLATION: "WTF" IN CHEROKEE IS "WTF"

TWO THINGS TO REMEMBER AS THE NATIONAL SOCIALISTS AND THEIR MEDIA HYPERVENTILATE OVER RUSSIAN "INTERFERENCE" IN THE ELECTION:

THESE "INTELLIGENCE" AGENCY UBER-BUREAUCRATS ARE WERE APPOINTED BY OBAMA.

THESE SAME SPOOK AGENCIES WERE THE ONES WHO SWORE AND BE DAMNED THAT SADDAM HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DISTRUCTION.

I was standing at the bar in Terminal 3 at the International Airport when this small Chinese guy comes in, stands next to me, and starts drinking a beer.
I asked him, "Do you know any of those martial arts things, like Kung-Fu, Karate, or ;Ju-Jitsu?"
He says, "No I don't. And why would you ask me that? Is it because I am Chinese?"
"No", I said, "It's because you're drinking my beer, you little shit."

Looks like you're ready for one of those polar plunges, Letty!

Time to shock the pool.
