Saturday - afternoon

It only took an hour to unload the truck.  It took a combined 25 minutes, however, to get security guards to the scales to weigh the truck in and out.  And the production floor supervisor was nowhere to be found in the plant.  I spent quite a bit of time walking around looking for him. He gets into the nuts and bolts of things and there is never any telling where he may be hiding out at. 

So, it was 2 hours in and out of there just because of the extraneous stuff beyond unloading the trailer itself.  

Anyway, there was a scheduling glitch made by the office in having 2 drivers loading tomorrow at the same time.  Afternoon.  We only found this out because we were talking about loading and things in general in a texting chat.  So, I called dispatch and informed them of the mistake and told them I would take the morning run since he wants the afternoon run (and I most certainly don't if I have any choice in the matter).  

That makes Sunday not so bad after all, hopefully anyway.  It is loading as well so as long as I can get someone over to the washout without wasting too much time, they generally get trucks loaded quickly on the weekends.  I could be back before 1:00 pm, which gives me most of the afternoon to hang out and do - nothing.  

As for today? The boys just left with friends and their parents to go to a splashpad 2 towns over.  Kind of a late start for that, it's already after 4, they left maybe 30 minutes ago.  Whatever. Next weekend is Dallas. 6 Flags to be precise.  The kids are leaving for 3 full weeks with their grandma to go to her house in Arkansas.  We were originally going to go to Las Vegas for a wedding, but that all fell through.  Taylor and James couldn't go for financial reasons and the couple getting married decided they couldn't go either and are taking a trip to Hot Spring in Arkansas instead.  

So, we decided to go to 6 flags. No airfare, I think 1 night's stay hotel for them and I'm just going for the day.  It's why I don't mind working this weekend, I'll get next weekend off.  I won't go on half the rides over there, tho, just saying.

I'm not afraid of the rides, my head just can't handle it.  I'll get off of one of those crazy things and sit around for a while waiting for my head to stop spinning.   I like my version of the fun rides, that doesn't include the superman ride and several others that get me feeling woozy. I informed the folks of such as well. You don't mind waiting around? Nope.  I'll find something to do.  

Actually, I don't even know if I want to go.  Guess I'll make that decision getting closer to this weekend. I have no reservations for anything and it only worked out that I have next weekend off, I didn't ask for it off.  I am looking to go to AZ soon and I want time off for that, not for going to Dallas.  

The workamper was busy mowing and weedeating today.  It is looking good yet again.  It doesn't take long when it's raining as much as it is out here for the grass to grow exponentially. 

I'm tired.  Woke up in the middle of the night and took hours to get back to sleep. Time for a nap.
