Friday - late afternoon

Late load today exacerbated by a blown brake chamber.    You hit the brakes, the air goes into the chamber, pushes a diaphragm, pushes a road which does a bunch of other stuff not worth going into that eventually pushes the brakes shoes against the brake drums.

It happened close to the park, I just drove it in.  Not like it was going to crash, the rest of the brakes still worked, I just got it to the park, parked it and now there is a mobile mechanic company working on it.  Yes, I'm home. It was amazing tho. They sent a person out immediately upon calling them..  It was bam bam bam and the dude showed up. 

He also informed me that a famous tik tokker is at my park.  I won't mention names but I did look it up and sure enough, it was him.  Anyway, if that brake chamber had gone out on the road somewhere, I would be sitting there right now and would continue to be sitting there for many more hours.  What was perplexing was the dude at  our shop.

"Are you going to get it fixed tomorrow then?" Huh?  No, I want it fixed today, I don't want to spend my entire Saturday messing around with this nonsense and I need to leave early morning.  He said ok, call those people and give them my number.  I'll do whatever to save myself a lot of grief and headache.  

That was the other thing today. The first load driver showed up at the loading plant and they rejected the tanker. Said it's not insulated and they require it to be insulated so it doesn't get too hot and end up going out of spec for their customer which is Georgia Pacific.  Poor guy had to drive clear back to the yard in Arkansas, get another trailer and then go back down.  

My manager called me with this info to let me know I could just go up there at the first load time tomorrow. By the time this dude is done today, he won't be able to get up there until early afternoon.  Thank you, I will do that!  So, I don't have to have all of Saturday eaten up by this stuff.  That is, if they can fix it today, which I'm sure they'll try to get it done quickly, they no more want this dragging on any longer than it has to than I do.  

As for other things....well there's always the Trump hate constantly emerging from the shadows.  Comey wanting the President assassinated is the newest headline, at least on Fox news. I'm sure CNN or MSNBC either have it labeled as something different and insignificant or haven't reported on it at all.  Then there's the Supreme court ruling that they can't deport illegals under that Alien Act without giving them enough time to file a grievance. Well whoopdee doo. The news framed it as some sort of huge setback but in reality, the court said it is only saying that they need to give those people more time.  

And then, there's the 400 million Boeing 747.  It's not the President's personal airplane, lmao.  The left are begging for a way to "legitimately" impeach Trump again.  It's such a waste of time, there is no way there would be enough votes to remove him from office. But, they want to use whatever they can get - which isn't much anymore, they've already done everything to him - to either get rid of him or show that he is a bad choice for the nation and therefore, vote democrat for every election from now on! Lmao

Politics in this nation has turned into a giant clown show. If it wasn't so pathetic it would be amusing.  It's sort of amusing anyway just for the sheer desperation of democrats losing their woke initiatives and all the rest of the nonsense they have introduced into society that is drifting away into the sunset.  They lost power and they hate it.  

No, I've heard nothing from either Swepco or the septic company.  I'm really just patiently waiting.  It'll happen when it happens and I can do nothing to rush it faster.  As it stands, I still need to meet up with the septic people - same people who built the park - figure out where to put the system and also ask for pricing on running the line from the power pole to the meter assembly and also what they would charge to do some dozer work.  They're experts, they aren't exactly cheap but no one else is, either.  

Anyway, it's getting late and I'm getting up at 5:45 am. So, g'nite!
