Should be home by midnight or so tonight. Another day of pack tomorrow and then load another trailer and leave Friday. That will be my final trip for awhile. The thought of becoming a trucker has now left me. If you ever consider it do 1200 mile trips back to back to back. If you still think it's s good idea then you will make money

Ordered my time Warner cable...hate them but only game in town. Went with the 30mb down with 5mb up. Up to our max so they say. Picking up a modem at best buy tomorrow. Should improve my streaming video quality as my Netflix was poor on 6mb down. Gaming seems less about major speed and consistent quality of service

You left just it time Erie, record lows in some areas. A guy at work lives in Findley lake and had -31 Monday morning!
The fuel system on my truck kept freezing on the way to work because of the wind chill while driving 55-60mph. It would stall out and I'd have to sit in the cold and wait 10 minutes for the heat of the motor to thaw the fuel so it would start again. Never made it to work but learned a lot about fuel treatments on the interweb while the truck sat idling in the driveway because I was afraid to shut it off, lol. It's all good today though, warmed up to -8 for this morning;)

Twister . trucking company uses 911 or atomic power. 911 is best for gel fuel to ungel quickly. Atomic power is great as a preventative
Also, time Warner cable sux my long sock

I guess I would just hold up in my house until spring. Good luck Twist!

Atomic power is great as a preventative Also, time Warner cable sux my long sock 911 is basically just alcohol, very bad for a diesel fuel injection system and the 6.0L Ford is already delicate so I wouldn't chance it. The big problem is most antijel additives are only good to about -20, add in wind factor and that's why had problems. Born it's not normal at all for us to have temps that low, records were set. Typically it stays above 0.

Don't try and sugar coat it. The saying' when hell freezes over' simply means Erie. And don't think for a second that since its not on fire it's better than a fiery hell.... It's just. Well,you know.
With that said. Today's battle will be another round with time Warner cable. I've complained to customer service emphatically and they care so little.

FWIW, we have Comcast in this area but I gave them the boot a few years back in favor of AT&T Uverse. Yeah it's slower and consistantly pings around 45ms but their customer service has been nothing short of outstanding. I'd take that any day of the week over the nightmare that is Comcast.

www.speedtest.net/my-result/4156421434finally after countless hours trying to get them to show up and take my money. I have internet from the only game in my area other than those wifi companies. Once the bill shows up I'll let you know how bad that have continued to hammer me as the price kept changing everytime I called and I kept stating that I have receipts and confirmation numbers as well as my deposit from my credit card for the first months usage. regardless of the hassle at least for this minute, for these few seconds, during the seconds I type this. I have decent internet. www.speedtest.net/my-result/4156421434The above is on my laptop running wireless. I got a little better running wired but it will be awhile before I run cables. For now the PS3 and ps4 are wired and as we all know that's most important.

Now you no longer live in Erie, I think your new name should be Charlotte. Calling you Erie would be like calling someone from Colorado Tex. Better get that changed Charlotte! LMAO
