Saturday - not so early lmao

I really didn't plan on getting up so late. I woke up around 4:00 am, went to the bathroom, went back to sleep and 4 hours later I woke up.  Like, that's a lot of sleep for one night.  

The boys come into the room, are we hunting today?  I dunno, yes, not right now, lol.  I have to have my coffee before anything else happens, so the oldest proceeded to make my first cup and bring it to my bed.  Pretty good cup of joe!  

And then, before anything else, the hunter calls and asks if I'm coming?  Yes, give me a while! Dang, people, at least let me get my @$$ out of bed!  I know it's late in the day but I had no intentions of getting up early today and I let the boy know that.  He wanted to go early, something told me I would want to sleep. I'll take the sleep.  

As for yesterday, yes, it was a waste of time such as the previous day. I could have figured out both.  But, it's pay.  That's the point from the company I'm sure.  Get something going for payroll.  I can tell ya, next paycheck isn't going to be too wonderful.  As long as my park stays full or nearly full, I can make it through it, just that it's not helpful for getting money together for the insurance payment.  

The receiving plant's scales weren't working, which didn't matter, you just drive in there, park, hook up the air line to start building pressure and then - you follow a huge sign's directions on how they want you to do everything.  Quite detailed, there is no way I couldn't have figured out what to do in there.  It is helpful, obviously, to see a person doing it that has been doing it for years.  No guess work.  

But if I had to sit there without any training in that plant and figure it out? Yup.  There was only one thing I really didn't like about the last 2 days: this driver drives really slow.  75 mph speed limit? He's doing 62. 70? 60. I mean.....I looked at the GPS going back to my town, there was a red spot when you first get on 20 and then nothing.  It would have saved us an hour of driving time if he would have sped up to at least the speed limit, for there were 2 more accidents up the line that cost us a lot of time.  

Anyway, it's over and I don't expect to need any more training that I know of.  Those are the 4 plants that I am supposed to be working out of. This other driver doesn't like the Ennis run, I don't see why?  It's easier than the Gurdon run.  He for some reason doesn't like the set up at Ennis. Loading at the place in Arkansas takes longer than it should, not much different than loading in Lufkin tho.  

So, it won't hurt my feelings at all to get any Ennis runs. It seems like they must have that run covered, tho, cause' they didn't give me anything for today, tomorrow, or the rest of next week.  Supposedly, Gurdon might reopen on Tuesday.  

Well, the boy is chomping at the bit to go hunting. It's good, IMO, that he's interested in doing something that doesn't lead him to be taking drugs, drinking, getting into trouble, etc, as he grows older.  Maybe something to pursue with him to keep him involved.  Perhaps a little .22 to kill some squirrels.  Squirrel meat isn't bad, just have to kill a lot of them to get any amount of meat out of it. The point is to have him bagging something to give him the taste of the kill.  The idea that all that waiting actually amounted to something.  Well, you don't really have to wait long for squirrels, they will scurry around even if humans are present.  

Anyway, my second cup of coffee almost gone, my excuses are also gone. Time to get ready to go.

G'day
