7:30.  Time to get up and get moving.  Got caffeine and fuel.   Then an email comes in that we are swapping loads with another driver because of the delay yesterday sitting for 7 hours at the receiver.  They want to make sure it gets to Houston on time.   We are swapping in Theodore, Alabama.  

I am feeling totally lost.  My phone is broken and I had to leave it in Florida for Gregory to mail to warranty company.  They are mailing me one but since I won’t be there for a month I’m phoneless.  I have my iPad which is great but miss my phone.  Funny how attached we get to them.  I keep checking my back pocket looking for it.  Hint – Don’t give your phone to a slobbering baby even if the rain sounds make him stop crying!   I tried drying it out and that helped some as I finally got it to turn on but unfortunately once it came on it started randomly calling people in my contacts.  People from Duke even that I hadn’t spoken to in years.   One was also a gunsmith in South Carolina that did some work on one of Gregs grandfathers guns and he also made him a powder horn and cartridge pouch.   My phone called him so many times he got worried about us and called back to check on us.  Wow.  That’s embarrassing.  I didn’t even know it was doing it until Greg said why are all these outgoing calls on my phone?   Our accounts are linked so calls show up on both phones.   Phone was shut down.   Hope it didn’t aggravate too many people.

DG: Okay, sometimes I worry about the company I work for. They arranged a swap of a load going to Houston making the driver go about 120 miles out of his way and stopping me short with three hours left on my drive clock. So as usual the drivers have to take matters into their own hands. I called Sedric, the driver I was to swap with, and told him I had three hours left on my clock would he like for me to get the load about 120 miles closer for him and he was agreeable to that. Besides the stop they had us going to was a tiny truck stop and it was already full. So we met in Slidell, LA, made the swap and he is on his way to Houston, then Dallas where he lives. So he will get to go by his home. And we have an exciting trip coming tomorrow I just know it. 

Hope everyone had a great day. Our love to all. Good night and God bless.
