Some Very Good News

[Guest Amanda_Henderson]

Happy Holidays to Everyone, and A merry New Year.

I got a new job. One that is not so tied into the stock market. I start this Monday. After Thanksgiving. I will be running UPS trailors to Omaha NE., for the next 3 weeks, after that I will be running Fresh and frozen Foods out to Ca. Tx. Id. Nv. Og. Ut. Az., (sorry if any of these 2 letter states are wrong.) bascily the West coast. I will be making a little bit more money, doing so, and when the boss is running the Harvist season. I will be totaly in charge of where I will run, how far I will go, when I get home. He dose not want me to be out more then 10 days. He only has 2 trucks, and is planning to buy one more in about 2 weeks.

The bad. My laptop is down and out for the moment. The Tip for my power supply broke, on my pug. Now I have to buy a new one from Tosiba.com, but if I want to have some entertament while out on the road. I need to spend a little money. The really bad is, all of my Maps, my log book, and everything else that I need is on my laptop. looks like I may just have to do everything the Hard way Untell the Power Supply comes in the mail. Hopefully I will be able to get some Photos here soon.

But anyway. Everyone Have a Safe Thanksgiving, A Merry Christmes, (as mush as I dont want to hear about that holiday, havent been shoping yet.) And A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, Amanda!

Well, that is wonderful news! A new job is always exciting to start and in your case you get to travel and have time to sit and think..(unless that's not your thing)

Sorry to hear about your computer I go into melt down mode if my computer is down for any reason.

You stay safe out there and drive carefully.

Hi,

is the power supply that big deal?

We in europa have adapters for the cigaret lighter of the car to the notebook. I can not belive that you do not have same stuff in USA. So take a look to the electronic store to find one of this adapters. This adapters has different plugs for different plugs.

If the plug is still inside of the notebook (without the cable) it is possible to remove it.

It look like this:

is the power supply that big deal?

Yes. I have been to a lot of computer stores They all have adaptors that will fit but they are anywhere from $150 to $200, I do not have that Kind of money right now. I do have a power converter in the truck that will allow me to use a home outlet for a cig. lighter.

I can spend $100 and have it overnight prioity to my house and it will be there on Monday or Tuesday. I have a adaptor but it dose not work. I am using it with the help of my mothers powercord. There is a little notch in the cord that is allowing to charge my bat.

Untell I get a new one then I am just out of luck.

Hey Amanda, be rilly careful pullin' them doubles, Babygirl. I pulled 'em for FedEx Ground and it's a bit of a diff. game, yu know? If ever your comin' up on a mean-donkey grade on bad winter roads, get nice n' slow by the point you hit that crest, apply some pad on 'er and keep it there LIGHTLY as you descend until your near the base. Doubles are just funky like that. I jackknifed up on Cabbage Hill in Oregon and I hate the thought of that happenin' to anyone else, especially if I had the opportunity to make even the slightest difference. Had I not managed to get that beast off in the happy direction and quickly off the road, I prob. wouldn't be sittin' here typin' atcha n' tellin' yu whatcha already know. Heehee! Anywho, coolness on the job score. Hope it works out well for yu. That's some rilly nice hometime you mentioned, you realize? Some truckers roll OTR for years before landin' a score like that. Lotz n' lotsa luck to yu.
