He was nicer than the rude person I had this morning. I cant get in the shipping door because it's locked so I watch the forklift operator through the window ( a very large window) make eye contact with me quickly then look away as if i am not there and he didn't see me. He proceeds to change the propane on the forklift all the while about 15 minutes goes by and he walks away. So I go find another door about 50 feet down walk in, stay on the yellow safety line, with my safety glassed, on and proceed to the shipping office. When this guy ( the same forklift operator) jumps out from behind some material and chews my behind for "touring" the plant!!!!!!!!!! Took everything I had not to say 1 word and smile, in fact I think it bothered him more that I just smiled at him....,, lol I hope he choked on his lunch!

Oh yeah I'm at home running locals this week. Daughter graduates Friday and her party is Sunday!

Kindness and being proactive instead of being reactive is so much more effective in a situation like this, thowing them for a complete loop....Refusing to participate in their pity party..leaves them speechless, not knowing what to say, or how to react to it.I love doing that!

Ya know,it's kinda funny you should mention that, as I was thinking about that the other day, remembering as I started out in this newer van 3 weeks ago, asking God,to keep me from the heat so I dont have to idle the van to stay cool...Laredo was the first time I had to do that...not bad, I thought...Thankful.It cost me right around $2.40 an hour in gas to idle it down there, far more expensive than a room, but cash flow is at a minimum right now, until things get caught up.It wasnt as bad as I had thought it was going to be, especially in this van, un insulated.The roof was like a frying pan, couldnt even touch it! And, yes, Ken,I weighed the van, and added only 320 # of belongings, accessories, etc to it, and am looking to thin that out even more...cut down by half compared to the other van..

Congrats on the good weeks and keeping the access weight down in the van. Not only lets you haul more it takes less fuel to move it down the road.
