Sat in Brownsville until Friday 5:00 pm, drove around 400 miles, stopped at a Flying J in New Caney for the night, had breakfast at the Denny's the next morning, drove out the rest of the trip, go home yesterday around 3 in the afternoon and now it's Saturday morning. At least that Brownsville trip I was sharing it with another driver who is chatty and isn't - strange.
Oh, just didn't feel like driving all night and there was no good reason to, they didn't need the trailer til Monday. And Monday - I have the first load going back down to Brownsville, lol.
And now have another Brownsville trip Scheduled for tomorrow/Monday morning, first load, early rise. Truck is already hooked to the trailer, at least I won't have to do that .
That out of the way, I'm very unmotivated today - but - if the rental store was open I would have definitely rented the jackhammer to get that concrete out of the way of putting up my new pond. I want that going and soon, before it starts getting cold. I suspect I won't have 2 days off anytime soon, so I"m just going to have to bite the bullet and do it on a day when I'm only getting the day off.
Meanwhile, the boys have been in my face literally all day long. To the point I had to go outside where Taylor was hanging out - away from them as well lol - and get some quiet time. It's just a really slow, almost boring day at home - but I'm not going to say I don't like that. They are taking a nap now, finally. I love those kids but dang, I'm home for down time, not play time all day long lol.
There isn't a heckuva a lot else, My nephew is being deployed to Germany, I think he's Army. That's pretty safe as far as risk factor goes. I've tried to keep up with his life but it makes it difficult when your brother, whose son that is, has written off the entire family and wants no part of us for the rest of his life. He hasn't talked to mom in almost a year now. Same s*** he and my oldest brother did with my dad. I'm personally glad he isn't going to the Middle East is what I can say about that.
Without giving away too much detail - ugh I can't even say that, oh well. It's concerning my son and I promised I wouldn't say anything about what's going on with him on the internet, so I will adhere to that promise. Once he comes out with it - if ever - then I'll have the freedom to discuss it. It's just a weird request that I have never even heard of anyone going through before - tho I am sure it's probably happened to many people.
BTW, I have been hearing about how so many people have contracted the virus. Can anyone tell me how we are going to stop this virus from affecting the entire nation? Wouldn't it be better to just let it play itself out like the cold or flu and get it over with? Who really believes the President could somehow, magicaly stop this virus? I'd like to see anyone somehow prove that the President could have done anything different that would have a different outcome?
And Amy Coney Barrett. She's a gem. I still just sit back and behold her superior intellect over all of these senators that wanted to get her backed into a corner with gotcha moments. They simply couldn't do it, no matter how many of them that tried to attempt the same thing. She's more than qualified to be a Supreme court justice, that's my opinion but that's also the opinion of legal experts the nation over. I hope she's voted in at the end of the day. I truly believe she will conform to the intent of the Founding Fathers, and if she makes a decision I don't agree with, I'm still good with that.
Ok enough. I ordered more pond stuff, I'm going to do this one up nice. And still some to go. I have the seeds for beautiful pond plants, got to get to Lowe's - but I am not going anywhere today - to get containers to grow the seeds.
Anyway, Addler is laying on my bed, of course, lazy dog and lazy day : )
