 I feel exhausted.  Run run run.  Get done with work, go home, go to Chili's go to the store go home go to bed. Get up, make food, take a shower, etc etc etc.  After all that, I only have 20 minutes left before I have to leave for yet another 3 or 4 day run - that totally depends on things like how long it takes to get loaded today, how traffic is the entire way up and back, any tire issues or breakdowns - etc.

After this run I am going to push for a couple of days off.  Maybe. Last time i did that they left me hanging for 8 days.  Of course, my hours will be down there on the 70 clock, but there will likely be enough for a short trip by the time I get back to the point they could actually send me to brownsville, oklahoma or some crap run. 

I dunno, but too much work gets old the same as too little work. My pond project has been on hold for lack of time to get anything done with it.  James has been working on getting rid of that solid concrete stump.  I am of the thought of renting a machine to break it all up into pieces and be done with it quickly.  But, that costs money but more importantly time - of which I don't have.

And now? both my manager and the dispatcher that took over again are out on vacation.  "Don't call unless it's an absolute emergency. If you can't get a hold of me (manager) call Kenny".  I won't be calling, thanks, I rarely ever do, in fact, I don't.  He calls or texts me, not the other way around. I'm quite self-sufficient and even with a breakdown or flat tire I don't need to call any of them, we have numbers that we are to call in such situations where the person on the other end of the phone sets up the tire guy or repair guy to come out or a wrecker if it's really bad.  

Ugh, whatever the case, it's time to hit the road. 

G'day.  

 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
