After inspecting the dome lid on top of the trailer after returning from Lufkin, it became obvious that people were bashing on the lugs instead of simply fixing the problem by replacing the seal.  The same said trailer also has a camlock lid with a broken cam arm on it.  It cannot be sealed shut. I ended up putting a different cap on it that they had given me.  Then, this morning at the plant, the plant worker said the inspection on the trailer is expired at the end of the month and if we try to bring it back after that, they will reject it.  ALL plants to that with chemical trailers, at least every one I have ever been in. \

So, texting the manager, I now have to take the trailer to a place in Crossett to drop off and have washed out and pick up an empty there.  This came from the dispatcher who contradicted the manager.  Does it make any difference? No, it takes forever,  a day and a half to get to either Crossett or the yard from Gurdon, I don't really care. It's 3 plus hours from Crossett back to my park. Tomorrow will be a long day.  I think I have the 10:00 am delivery time, I'm going to get up there earlier than that, say 9:00 am.  

I bashed the lugs on that dome so I am hopeful no leaks this time and I can offload quickly.  Done by 10, I can get down to Crossett by noon, out of there in probably half an hour and then home by - I'll just guess around 3:30.  But, we'll add another hour for good measure. I can say that I got done and back quickly today, as I had hoped for. If everything goes right, it really shouldn't take that long to go to Nacogdoches for the washout and then Lufkin to load.  

 After I got back and bashed those lugs down with a hammer, I headed off to multiple stops, the longest being Walmart.   I had to get Keto stuff and out of dog food, to name a few things.  Then I had to go wait in the curbside pickup to get the new laptop.  Not a big deal.  In a parking lot I was in that I was leaving, there was an accident. Yes, in the parking lot, lol.  A lady had driven her car in front of an oncoming pickup truck and the truck hit the car, putting a huge dent into the passenger side front door. 

The lady was both on the phone and yelling at the dude in the truck, who was just sitting there looking at her with a perplexed look on his face. They hadn't moved the vehicles so it was quite obvious it wasn't his fault, he had the right of way. But, in parking lots, I don't think police will get involved. Well, I don't know about Texas, Arizona is that way.  The lady's anger was better directed at herself than this man sitting in the truck. 

Off to the bank to deposit funds I had received from the park and then home. 

And very hungry. Today I relaunched Keto.  Haven't eaten a thing.  Was trying to make it through 24 hours without eating, I'm not sure I'm going to make it. It's ok if I don't, it just helps get back into ketosis faster.  I bought plenty of keto stuff and I'm good to go.  Not really looking forward to the first week or so of this, it will get easier after I am doing it for awhile.

No show on an overnighter. They paid in advance and I've heard nothing from them, they forfeit their deposit, which is the first night's stay. They were only staying one night anyway.  I need to get out my book and see who owes what now that I paid that insurance bill. 

Welp, so much for the weekend. I will apparently be working all this week, through the weekend and all next week. That's fine, I guess, I need the money badly atm.  I'll be collecting around 4 grand between the 30th and the 7th, so maybe not so bad. Just paying this insurance bill kind of hurts and then a mortgage payment goes out before I even receive the money and beyond that normal payments. 

So, I'm not toast, just have to get a couple payments in there that are due before the 1st.
