Tbbt lives off Jim Parsons (Sheldon) being an amazing actor. The rest of the show is meh. The only new series I enjoyed recently was sirens, but that seems to have been cancelled.
 
Hello; this morning at 11:00 AM, about 45 minutes from now, one lane of the north bound Interstate 75 near Jellico Tennessee is due to be opened. The jake brake of a passing semi sang out as I type this. Since the rock slide several weeks ago the northbound traffic has been sent along various detours, one being the two lane highway in front of my house. My road being better suited for the big trucks, got the lion’s share of them. Many tens of thousands of them according to the news. Maybe 15,000 per day each direction total traffic with some percentage of this being the big rigs. Mostly northbound on my road and I have no real estimate of the numbers passing by.

I live about a mile from the red light that forms a bottleneck for the north bound traffic. It has backed up to in front of my house once that I was outside to see. This was even with the TN state troopers positioned at the various choke points directing traffic. The troopers have control of the traffic lights and have been on station in shifts for several weeks.

The only bright thing being that at the tunnel thru the mountain in the Cumberland Gap National Park they have not been escorting tanker trucks thru the tunnel. The normal thing for me is to be stopped about half the time to wait while they escort the hazardous material trucks. A real annoyance and a big choke point for the first few days of the detour.

While I have been annoyed, my guess is that the folks taking the detour were much more affected. It adds maybe 50+ miles and at least an hour to their trip.
 
The suction cup on the return hose of my FX5 came loose and the spout was facing upward so it drained the tank down to about half...water all over the floor. Great thing to come downstairs to first thing in the morning.
 
Not to sound rude but this makes me happy to live in good old southern ontario all you have to worry about is snow in the winter and Sunday drivers during the week ( people who drive 65 in a 90) they make me angry

That sucks. I had my old pbass have a fight with the return plumbing in my 180.. good thing I was still awake and heard the splashing on the floor
