 Uhh, hard to believe I haven't posted since Thursday morning. 

I finished that run, which took 2-1/2 hours to offload.  I think their pipes were clogged up, perhaps other drivers aren't flushing them out when they're done.  

I dunno, but I went back up today to offload again and it took about an hour, which is about what it should take or even faster. But since it's cold, the resin thickens up so a little longer time offloading wouldn't be considered unusual. 2-1/2 hours, however, is ridiculous. 

I have tomorrow/Sunday off and I need it. I finally got coughing cold the boys have. It's all in the lungs, nothing in the head or throat.  It's also quite miserable, especially in cold weather. I wasn't feeling particularly good and considered calling in sick.  But that would throw them off and have to scramble to find someone to go to my park and get the load to take it up there, so I just dealt with it.  

In fact, they haven't sent me anything for this coming week.  The manager was going to give me a run for Monday but - maybe they just can't take that much product up there right now? They still only have one tank operating, there are crews of people going into the empty one and chipping out the dried up resin.  

It's that or they'll send something tomorrow for Monday, I dunno.  

Right now we're fixing to go to the annual Christmas parade which is held down town.  The new brewery opened up, we're going to taste some of the craft beer.  Don't worry, we aren't getting drunk or anything even remotely close to it.  

So, with that, it's actually time to leave.

Have to write something later or wait until tomorrow.
