I got snowed and rained out of a large corner search for Monday and Tuesday, the bad thing was I stayed near the site Sunday night and had to drive all the way back, the forecast was a bit off and the light rain turned into a standing water swamp that the landowners weren't interested in tearing up.

So three hours back to the office and my computer was in pieces getting a new hard drive; forgot they were doing that while I was gone, duh!!!

A task I had been putting off was cleaning the truck, six hours of driving in it made it more attractive to get that task finally taken care of.

Took hours, dang it was dirty!!!!

It will be clean till Thursday when I will no doubt mess it up again:confused:

Wow, you have a floorboard! I wonder if my truck has one?

The one guarantee that comes with cleaning up your truck is that you will completely trash it up again within one week.

About once every other year I like to crank the air compressor up to 11 and blast out the accumulation of dust, mummified french fries and assorted detritus out of all the nooks and crannies of the work truck. The resulting cloud of dust bears close resemblance to a bomb blast and use of a respirator is highly recommended.

A few years ago I had an employee that was apparently addicted to a brand of "Pizza by the Slice" that is sold at almost every hole-in-the-wall gas station in the nether regions of Oklahoma....I was constantly bitching at him to clean the left over boxes off the truck floorboard.

We were out on a job he had been to a few months earlier. A search for our base point was getting frustrating and I had never been there before. The point was somewhere between a field lane and some brush along a fence...and even though he swore he had flagged it up, we just couldn't find it. Then I saw a sad and somewhat faded "Pizza by the Slice" box tangled up and wasting away in the brush.

We hopped out with the Schonstedt and guess what? There it was, right by his trash that had escaped from the truck months earlier.

Its one thing to have it in the truck, but you really shouldn't littler on your clients property:)

I know I've never done that:innocent:

I get nervous about things piled in a seat like those instrument cases, and frustrate my wife to no end with reminders that stuff likes to migrate when you hit the brakes.
