If it isn't one thing, it's another.

Getting back to the yard yesterday, I heard a loud hissing sound when I got out of the truck.  I tire with a fresh, giant bolt in it.  Got that fixed, got to work this morning - they are working me hard - got loaded and had yet another flat tire on the trailer.  I dunno, someone threw some bolts or something on the ground at the yard.

So now, I'm sitting in front of a closed tire shop waiting for them to show up and repair the tire.  There will be no one day trip on this Oklahoma run, I'll be doing good to make it back to the casino truck stop tonight.  Supposedly the guy is on his way.

Meanwhile, I paid for an overnight delivery for antibiotics for James, he has a sinus infection.  It was allegedly delivered yesterday - which it was not.  I had no idea how hard it is to actually talk to anyone on the phone at UPS.  The system will tell you your problem does not qualify to speak to an agent and it hangs up on you. 3rd try was the charm.  A philippino gal answered - you can always tell by their accent and twang to their voices - said they would start an investigation that would take "1 to 8 business days".  Are you serious?

She didn't care. She's just an incoming call center attendant, programmed (trained) to give whatever the company tells her to give, written on her computer screen.  I paid extra $25 for overnight delivery.....the UPS driver lied.  I looked at the cameras for yesterday, the UPS driver drove by our house at 5:04 pm, he wasn't anywhere to be seen at the 2:00 pm he claims he delivered the package.  

Whatever the case, after work yesterday I drove to the property, got out the wasp spray and sprayed that entire area down, including the old tree with numerous large holes in it that looked like entry ports for - wasps or whatever.  Once I started spraying that old rotten tree, I didn't linger, I ran out of there in case there was another hive inside of that thing.  My bee suit finally showed up, I will have that on the next time and leisurely look at the entire situation.  

cutting this short, tire guy is replacing the tire and I'm almost ready to leave.

G'day
