 Saturday -  not so early

Well, 7:30 am.  I'm leaving in 20 minutes to go get the truck fired up, get in the thing and get down south.  I may have to wait down there but in the chance that the other driver is already done and out of the way, which is quite possible, I'm showing up several hours early.

Note that I did not say I was showing up before the first appointment time. I'll be there about an hour after.  If these drivers are the early birds they say they are, they should be long gone when I get there unless there is an issue with the plant. 

IF it worked out, I could still be home at a decent time. Tomorrow? Probably not so lucky.  I'm hoping to connect with whoever it is and see when they plan on arriving up there so I can plan out my day, which hopefully doesn't take me into late afternoon. If it does, it does, I can't really complain, I've had several weeks in a row where I've been given the first run. Now I'm getting second run 2 in a row, if they attempt a 3rd, I will say something.  

It's the weekend so there usually isn't other trucks in the way at the loading plant is all I can say about it.  

I've received no complaints about anything in the last several days. I dunno if that's because nothing has happened or if Trey is taking care of things - but if he is I want to know about it for I want to know how he is dealing with things.I have my way of dealing with errant guests and it doesn't start out with a confrontation.  You give them a chance, first, to redeem themselves. 

Then, if the situation isn't corrected, depending on the severity of it, that's when I decide whether to get confrontational or try once again the "nice and polite" way.  I'll be talking to him today, it wasn't good that he never replied to me yesterday until long after the overnights showed up and called me for instructions where to go.  

Well got distracted so time to go.  My Roku remote wasn't working and has been acting up a lot lately, I ended up ordering a new one. They are all of $7 so no biggies on that one.  It gets old to have to keep taking the batteries out and do a reset on the remote and then putting the batteries back in in order to try and get the thing to work.

Off to the races.

G'day

It is a rainy, overcast, gloomy, dreary day and I wanted nothing to do with any of it. Getting up to Gurdon, it was even colder up there tha...
