 Friday - early

I'm at the mercy of this other driver to tell me when he's coming so I can get myself moving.  I got up at 6:00 am, it's now 7 and he still hasn't contacted me.  I want to get moving and get this day over with.  I do not want to be out until after 7:00 pm, a thing that happens when you are lazing around the house instead of getting into the damn truck and get rolling.

Made my lunch.  I suspect this dude might end up showing up, forgetting to text me in advance, I'm not going out all day long without something to eat.  I'm ready to go. In fact, I'd already be on the road if it were me with the appointment time that was given.  I just don't understand people that want to drag a day out like that.  

It rained all night long, but this dude is going out there hunting anyway.  He thinks we'll never get close to that deer, he keeps saying that. With that kind of defeatist attitude, why is he bothering to try?  I suspect he's not as self-defeated as he is suggesting he is.  The challenge of getting a prize deer is too much for him, he said he is going to try some different tactics.  He was asking me if I have to work today - unfortunately, yes.  

It's 2 hours, 15 minutes to Ennis. So, there is still hope of getting done relatively early with what we'll call 5 hours of driving round trip plus an hour or so of unloading.  6-1/2 hours we'll call it, even leaving at 9 I guess we can be back by 3:30. But if we left 2 hours ago....

And finally - at near 8:00 am, he's on his way over here.  A whatever moment, 9:00 departure I'll guess a 4 pm return.  That isn't terrible I guess.  Then the weekend, of which I have no idea whether they will want me to start doing Ennis runs or just wanted me to get the training - or more like - know that most people need to work and keep the money rolling in, taking 15 days off doesn't accomplish that.  

Whatever the case, I'm getting my stuff and getting out of here.

G'day
