Mostly in Georgia

Gracie decided to give us a presentation regarding current world shipping issues. She thinks she is so smart. But she is wrong about port congestion. If we allow anyone to drive commercial trucks there will be no backup of containers moving inland. Gracie, a tip for public speaking, Never turn your back to the audience. We had "Demo Days" at work again this past week. I was busy on most of the days, but I went up to the demo site after the event was over on Friday and took a look at machines we have on site.

Some pics from our drive from Ohio to Georgia.

I have just purchased my 5th new Chevy truck. I bought the first one in 1984. I say I buy a new truck every ten years whether I need it or not. This new one is a bit of a unicorn and we had to drive to Columbus Ohio to pick it up. Its a beast for sure. It is a full-ton with single rear wheels, 4x4 with the 6 liter gas engine and 6 speed auto trans. It has electric stuff and electronics. Ready to pull with a top of the line service body. It is not for the discotheques nor raves. ref old blog post I traded-in the 2006 truck and we have them both side to side here. The other pic was taken as we stopped in front of a former apartment I lived in Columbus Ohio many years ago.
