 Home.  Drove late last night, made it back to Smith's Grove - amazingly enough, at least in my mind it was - got up this morning and headed out.  His a traffic snarl that had no visible ending, I thought I was screwed there. It was a 10 minute backup, but not enough to stop me from cranking 684 miles down the highway and getting this trip over with. 

I didn't figure I would be working tomorrow and I was right. I don't have a run until Monday.  That's a Brownsville run and I can only hope for detention pay since we are in a slow period right now and the amount of work is coming up short.  

But I'm not going to complain about a weekend off.  I didn't ask for it, but I'll take it. I did ask for Thanksgiving and the 1st of December off - in exchange I'd work Christmas.  Yup, I'd rather have Thanksgiving off since that's a social event. Christmas is just family here and tho it's nice to be home for it, there will be lots of people over here on T-day and I just think that's more fun.  

My manager said it shouldn't be a problem.  I figured I could seal it by offering to work Christmas.  So, hopefully this comes to pass and I get that day off for the auction as well.  Really hoping I score on at least one of those properties.  House or land, doesn't matter which, really, I'd prefer the house that's close to where I live, but if I got any of the properties I'd like to get, I'd be happy.  

And Kroger's has Rib Roast on sale, thankfully.  I buy 2 of them at least every year, cook one and freeze the other.  And turkey's for .37 a pound if you buy at least $25 worth of other stuff. That's easy lol.  

Well, not going to go on too long, it's midnight and I'm just glad to be home : )

 Found it.  Quickbooks is rather complex and involved and freely admit I don't necessarily know how to navigate it. That where AI comes ...
