Fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack.

So whats to say about a handful of runs between Wisconsin and the north eastern seaboard?  Well, not a ton since the weekend mudding.  I got  home, got my Mass Effect 3 fix, (and by got I actually mean started a long binge)  and shortly got ready to head out again.  Not before doing a quick Shoop of last weeks photo.  Say hi to my facebook header image.

Now I've been taking frozen cranberries from Philly several times now, but I have yet to actually visit an Ocean Spray facility.  Every time I get to or just past Gary I get a call for a relay and then get assigned elsewhere.  Maybe next time will be different.  At least I got a bit of nostalgia in the process, I got to do a switch at HQ, which I havent seen since the first week in December.  I couldn't stop to search for people because I was already behind thanks to some Chicago rush hour mess the night before.

Yesterday I had the best experience in Canada to date, second only to the niagra jet boat ride.  Form 7512b is my new weapon against shenanigans.  "United States - Canada Transit Manifest" says Matti came in with x stuff with seal x at x crossing and returns at y crossing with said seal intact.  Thank you very much have a nice day.  Enjoy your easy shortcut around Lake Erie and your $50 bonus.
The best part is, I fill out the form myself, don't have to contact anybody, and cross when I want to.

As long as I don't have to do any inbound/oubounds anymore I won't complain.  Seriously though people in the passener car lanes were taking longer than I was.  Good thing too, because there was no line no wait in the CMV lane.  I arrived within 40 minutes of my destination here in Rochester at 1430 yesterday.  Now what to do with this 22 hours of free time?

Tether wifi through my laptop, play a game genre that has historically been very well "offline", but thats ancient history now.  The world needs a full time internet connection so you can use the products that YOU paid for to prove that you didn't steal them.  But content protection is another day, another blog.  Suffice it to say, getting technologically ready to play ME3 for 9 hours yesterday was more difficult then switching on your Game Boy used to be. 

So yea, that was my St. Patricks Day this year.  No green beer this time.  I was disappoint.

Somebody help me root my phone so I can steal internet from Sprint.
