    Truckman MIA

    I've been given the go-ahead to let y'all know that Truckman is alive and almost well after suffering an attack of Covid-19. He is currently nearing recovery and will be back soon. Until then, enjoy the fresh air free of Dodge exhaust fumes.

    He's a tough guy he will make it through fine. I can't wait for him to get back in and be the voice of reason around here.

    Hopefully it's a "mild" case. Get well Ben.

    Get well soon Ben. With you being absent , the precious metal build up on your route should be a bonanza when you return.

    Get well soon!

    As soon as I can figure out how to blame driving a Dodge for your misfortune, I’ll edit this post

    May you do well, Ben. You certainly deserve it.

    Ben reports he is doing better this morning with less supplementary O2 required. Good news!

    Excellent! He has been in and will continue to be, in my prayers. Like me, Ben is compromised and so it is great news to hear that he is making progress---may he return quickly
