Up and rolling about 8:30. Not too early but seemed like a short night due to a sick dog. Precious and Greg split a chicken sandwich from subway and both have been dealing with that. At least Greg can get out of the cab if he gets sick. Not Precious. So this has been fun. Fortunately we were parked across from a walmart so I was able to go in and get her a new basket and more cleaning supplies. She also got a bath which she was not happy about as I couldn’t heat the water but she is clean. Now she is sleeping peacefully and all seems on the mend again.
We are driving all the way across Kansas today. Wheat as far as you can see in all directions. Precious went out to pee and immediately ran in to the wheat field behind the truck and disappeared. It’s the same color as her and of course taller so it took a couple of minutes to find her. Silly dog. I guess she felt like after the night she had she wanted to stretch her legs a bit. Not too much though as its 104 degrees. Goodness it’s hot. “Lots a dry heat” though. Hot is hot in my opinion. We don’t have the muggy you get in Ky or FL but instead it feels like 100 blow dryers on high heat all hitting you in the face. It’s really windy too. Windy enough that it occasionally wiggles the truck around.
It’s going to be a close call time wise to get to the next drop. We have time to just barely get there tonight but then Gregs time should run out and not sure if we are going to make the 7 am time. He is driving as fast as he can but the truck is regulated at 62 mph which really eats up the time especially when the speed limit through here is 75 and 80. Little old ladies are passing us.
We made it to our stop with 31 minutes left on the clock. That was cutting it close. We are right across the street from the Walmart Distribution Center so won’t take but a minute to get there in the am.
Going to watch a bit of TV and turn in. Goodnight y’all.
