650 miles yesterday, 325 miles today and I'm home.

But now without the manager calling me 20 miles out from the yard.  We chatted about boating and fishing for a few and then he got straight to the point.  I mean, I already know if he's calling me on a Sunday morning? There is a run or some errand that needs to be done.  That's without question, especially this dude.  His Sundays are sacred, so another driver told me after he got scolded by said manager for him calling the manager on a Sunday a while back.

Which is rather meaningless to me.  I don't call managers unless there is a serious issue.  A blown tire? Nope, I call the road service line and they find a service to come out and replace the tire. Breakdown? Yep - because it will affect delivery time and he'll need to update whichever plant about it.  Stuff happens, the plants usually don't give a hassle about a late load if there is a legitimate reason. But that's really the only time I either call or text him. 

Well anyway, he asked me how many hours I have left on my 70 clock?  Umm, guessing since I'm driving but I probably have about 40 or so available.  Okay, well I'm looking for someone to take a load up to - where else? - Mapleton.  He has a short memory, I had to remind him I'm just getting back from Mapleton. Not that I was trying to refuse the request, but I already have a trailer on the truck might as well reassign it so I don't have to drop and hook at the yard.  So, back today, back out tomorrow. 

But, he did give the info that Brownsville run I wouldn't get until wednesday at the earliest and Oklahoma run is going down again.  Which doesn't make sense we're sending product to Mapleton - they send product to the Oklahoma plant, owned by the same company.  And it's only going to be 3 days between loads for Mapleton, they are quite ambitious wanting to take another load that soon.  I half expect it to get canceled, but I'll fully prepare for it anyway. 

My plans tomorrow were to take the boat to the lake : (

Just have to wait until Thursday I guess.  I'm going to need to find a new place to store the boat now that Maria's house is no longer an option.  I don't want to store it here,, we have enough stuff here, I'm not even going to ask.  Plenty of storage lots around here, just have to start calling around and find the best deal with good security. 

Well that's it, really.  Plenty going on around here, but not really anything I should be commenting on on the internet that anyone can read. 

I finally gave up looking for my birth certificate and just ordered another one online.  I have 7 months before it needs to get here. Last time I tried, it took 3 plus months and that was before COVID 19. 

Anyway, time to kick back, relax and enjoy the rest of my Sunday. 

G'day.
