What a guy.....takes my pickles then takes my load from under me...*LOL*

Have a good time with the family Dennis...

You're welcome Dennis..

Just got back from town and then over to the neighbor's for a quick coffee..then baking a ham and buns for yet another family funeral..

And on the way back across the street, I stopped and looked at my rock garden and my tiger lillies are poking their heads thru the ground..and I found some columbine bulbs in town. Now it's spitting snow again but it won't amount to much..just a nuisance....

Got a load from Canton, Mi to Manchester, Tn, del'd this afternoon,but on the way there Jeremy called and said he might have one picking up at the consignee going to St.Louis, but it didnt happen..He tried to salvage the slow week, he did his best.

May go into town in the am to get my van looked at, not at all happy with the way it goes down the road...all over the place...These people down here have a real good reputation, been there before..I'm thinking incorrect alignment, bad tire/tires,or steering gearbox..we'll find out..Of course, when things are slow..but, gotta keep the van correct mechanically.

Also they are caught up to production, only 2 shifts...
we do a lot of 3 skid loads...better move the furniture plan....

The Enemy · Apr 4, 2011

I don't mind the 3 skid loads, even if I have to sleep in the front seat. What I don't like is if they know they won't unload us till a certain time then why make us be here at 0530? Just doesn't make sence to me.

Should have been 8am eastern...they also have a 15 minute shift meeting....grrrr and you are in central time zone...

Empty in Toledo...drove home and fired up the chainsaw at 0730 (figured if I was up and moving the neighbors shoild be too...

Anyhow cut up a cord of wood for the daughter, she is having a bunch of friends over this weekend and she needs to have a "fire" out back ...also strated the drain gin on the hot tub, shanging out the water...wife and daughter will have to refill it, then probably need to change it again after the party because of all of those kids "pee'n" in it!!!

Ok dispatch, get me loaded and out of here so I don't have to deal with all of these kids....

We are at the TA on 70 in Foristell, St. Louis, MO. Dropped our load this morning in Wentzville, MO. Toured the Budweiser plant yesterday. It was nice to relax over the weekend. Spent night in Hotel and watched some tv ad took nice long shower.
Although I have been sick for the past 3 days. Starting to feel a lttle better now.

Now waiting on the next big load to start the week. Time to get back to work.

Last time I was there about a month ago we got a nice run to Long Beach Ca. We unloaded and were empty 6 long hours before getting our next load 15 miles away that came right back here to Detroit!
