I had about a third of the OT that I normally do, too. Compressed an entire year of vacations into 8 months.
But the four pension checks were nice, too.

I've got 884 calendar days left till I retire. I'll put ten years in and will get a better than I thought pension but nothing compared to your time. We put away while I operated our business for 27 years and are looking forward to it and jealous that you're doing it now.

How did that fall off? lol
Got told company has 2 drivers coming on.. one rehire and a new guy, met the new guy today.. he's joining me tomorrow.
Give em hell
Ah...training rookies. So fun...
That was the one downfall of exhausts. The straight-thru mufflers are just too damn loud.
My wife always knew when I was 1/2 mile from home. Loud exhaust has its place, just not DD.

We like to think we are, but thats sometimes not the case.
Thats one of the main reasons I didnt do my deletes last summer -- the potential noise. I didnt want a loud exhaust again.

This rookie looks like he has 1 foot in retirement
As for exhaust, biggest issues for me in drone.. currently my truck doesn't drone and my cupped tires are louder than the exhaust...
Which I did get new shoes mounted, on my craggar soft 8 rims

Was listening to the Ramones on the way home from the pizza shop, and realized they were simply a '50s pop band on acid. 
Been mixing it up with guys about glyphosate.. basically told them they can't eat enough of said item to LD50 before other life threatening problems of eating 200 bushels of wheat in a sitting.
So I ask @grok LD50 of glyphosate is 4900mg, with 41% concentrate mixed at 2% per 1000sqft coverage, assuming 25% actually sees the grain. How many bushel of wheat, at 50bsac, does one need to hit LD50.
Answer
Assuming LD50 is 4900 mg/kg (standard rat data; you listed total mg), a 70 kg adult needs ~343 g glyphosate to hit it.
Your 41% conc at 2% mix needs spray volume (not given)—using typical 10 gal/acre broadcast gets ~0.74 lb applied/acre.
25% to grain: ~84 g/acre on grain.
At 50 bu/acre: ~1.68 g/bushel.
Bushels needed: ~204.
(Real residues are far lower than 25% transfer—usually <10 ppm—so thousands of bushels
So I asked the obvious..
what would the medical issue one would expect to experience from consuming 200 bushels of wheat in a sitting?
Answer
Consuming 200 bushels of wheat (≈12,000 lbs / 5,440 kg) in one sitting is physically impossible for a human. Your stomach holds ~1-2 gallons max before rupture. You'd suffer acute gastric dilatation, perforation, peritonitis, shock, and death from organ failure long before any glyphosate residue (already negligible in real-world wheat) could matter. It's like asking what happens if you swallow a car.
The snarky remark at the end

Ok, talk about being on acid......
Figured that was getting further in the mud wrestling with a pig and the point should be obvious
