Boo Hoo.   My sweetie left this morning without me.   He is working his way back to Olathe to take the truck back.    I miss him already!!

Well, our renter has officially moved out.  Got some cleaning to do but otherwise the house looks good.   Hope it sells quickly.   I called this morning to get utilities put back in our name and got quite a shock.   The water was no big deal.  No deposit.   The electricity however was a different story.   They want an average electric bill for the last year as a deposit.  $800!!!   Goodness gracious.   What was he doing in that house that the electric bill was $800?   Wow.  Didn’t see that coming. 

DG:  I miss you too my love. It is lonely out on the road. I have the radio but it doesn’t listen when I talk. I talk to the voices in my head but they don’t listen either.  And once again I am waiting.  I don’t feel like a truck driver.  I am a waiter.  May I take your order please?  GPS struck again by misdirecting me past my stop. And the stop is one of those that is behind another business and the name on my information is not the name of the business now as they have changed their name. So after riding around for 30 minutes, calling the shipper who has an automated phone system so they do not have to talk to anyone, but they did have a recording of the directions so I listened to them as I retraced my steps and finally found the place just one and one half hours late which didn’t seem to matter in the whole scheme of things as the real issue is that my delivery contains three POs and whereas the standard bill of lading may contain only one, this has grown somewhat of a kink in things. So here I sit, two hours later and no one has even begun to load my trailer. 

Sometimes I get paranoid and think they are conspiring to keep me here as long as they can, but that only gives them an out for their disorganized operations.  Yea.  

Had a heck of a time backing in here too.  There’s not enough room to pull your truck up so you have to cut pretty hard and then wiggle a little to get back in the dock.  Another trucker knew I was going to have trouble so he spotted for me.  All in and nothing broke and nothing scratched.  

Annie – Not much going on today which is good every now and then.   Going to turn in.   Goodnight y’all.
