I am wasted tired. I think I got 3 hours of sleep last night.  Never-the-less, I pushed myself hard to get down here - here being Brownsville Texas - and potentially get that sweet detention pay.  You never know if there's going to be empties or not down here unless another driver tells you about it.  Well, there are no other drivers down here right now, tho the tattle-tale is behind me.  

Anyway, I got in there and no, there weren't any empties.  I got in and out of that yard fast.  "No trailers upon arrival" written on my tour sheet. Dropped the trailer, put my paperwork  in their mailbox, back in the truck and the hercules out of there.  I have no desire to be getting up early tomorrow morning to leave and now, legitimately, I can not only sleep in, I can also get detention pay.  

I was lucky I have enough fuel to last until tomorrow morning.  The Love's is closed. I mean, they actually locked the doors to the establishment, their network is down, apparently, they can't sell anything - including fuel - and I have no idea when they are coming back online.  I've watched truck after truck after truck pull up in the fueling lanes, get out, try using their card, then walk to the entrance door to find it locked.

I wondered when they would actually put some signs up on the pumps saying the store is closed until further notice, save people a lot of hassle.  There's a truck stop 30 miles north of here that accepts my fueling card. There is a Circle K truck stop not far from here - I don't know if it accepts our fueling card but if I get into desperation mode - the tanks on E - I will go over there and find out.  Worse come to worse I'll pay for fuel out of my pocket and get reimbursed for it.  

Don't ask me why I couldn't sleep, I don't know. I went to bed at 9pm, was awakened at midnight - well wait, I did get back to sleep around 3:15 am, but had to get up at 4.  So a little more than 3 hours of sleep, but you get the picture.  

They already have me scheduled for an Oklahoma run for Sunday.  I replied to my dispatcher that FYI< there were on empties here.  She said it's fine, if she had to readjust the schedule she will.  I don't care about going to Oklahoma, that's fine by me, but right now? I don't want to do anything.  I'd go to sleep but it's not even 7:00 pm.  

Oh, I found another property. 22 acres, 95k.  It's not the greatest location but it's good land and it's just outside of city limits.  Price is too high, I'd offer $3,500 per acre if it comes to finding something else.  It's covered with trees.  In fact, I love this road it's on, it's all farm land and cattle ranches. Beautiful area.  

I did not get the promised update this week on the property, that is not my realtor's fault. She tried to get them to update her, they just aren't doing it.  There is likely nothing to update.  Who knows.  Maybe she'll hear from the other realtor this weekend. I just want to know if they're actually working on this or if this is a doomed deal and time to move on.  

And we congratulated the 6 year old for graduating kindergarten today.  Replete with pics Taylor texted me, I didn't know graduating from Kindergarten was even a thing, but I try to go with the flow here. Times have greatly changed since I was that age, whether I agree with how they do things now or not is irrelevant.  The boy gets his day in the spot light and that's that.  Ok I'm battling extreme fatigue here, I think I'll end this one.
