Come Out to Waldo
Unfortunately I am pulling an oversize load, sitting in Ontario, Oregon heading to Catoosa, Oklahoma so I won't be able to make it to the Game on Saturday, will be in Oklahoma on Friday.

Usually when I'm pulling an oversized load, I'm in town at a motel 6! Not in Oregon or Oklahoma! :)

I am humbled. My "sheet of steel" isn't that big.

I'm a much better driver than that. Without a load, the highest point of my truck is the beacon light. The top of the light to the ground is 12'3". The sheets of steel on my truck is no higher that 10 inches. When I get an oversized load I always take my tape measure out and measure the dimensions. As a driver it's out responsibility to know whether or not we can go under a bridge without hitting it and we need to know which construction zones we have to detour around because we are too wide. Also, we need to know our dimensions to know if we actually have to have one or more pilot cars and if we will also need a police escort.

I can tell you this, the two truckers how hit the two overpasses on US-23 earlier this year did not do there job correctly. They tried to cut corners and I am almost certain they did not have a pilot car. It they had a pilot car, the driver of the pilot car failed to do his or her job and warn the trucker on the CB that he was going to hit the overpass.

And, in Michigan, if you see an oversized vehicle going faster than 50 mph, then the trucker is in violation of his or her permit and the trucker should receive a speeding ticket, a violation of permit fine and have their oversized permit immediately revoked. I'm sick and tired of me being the only one to obey the 45mph when workers are present speed limit in Michigan and I am also sick and tired of me doing 50 in Michigan like I'm supposed to when I am oversized and when I am carrying a legal load I routinely get passed by oversized loads when I am doing 61 or 62 mph.

So, yes, I promise I won't drive it into a bridge abatement. With the only exception being to sacrifice my life for the lives of others.

Weather outlook:

Saturday
Partly sunny, with a high near 73.

Saturday Night
Partly cloudy, with a low around 50.

Cooler than it has been lately, but unfortunately not chilly enough to make Ga Southern feel like they've ventured to the North Pole.

Too bad this game couldn't be our Black Friday game.
