 Very long day.

I get up to Gurdon and the security guard said the other driver had just arrived 30 minutes ago.  It was 11:07 am, he should have been there and gone by then.  So whatever, I pull up behind him and get out and look, he's got a long way to go.  Like, it took over 2 hours to unload that thing.  

We get into a conversation since I had never met him before and he informs me that "I usually come up here early but since the product is so cold, there was no sense coming up here at that time, it will take hours to unload it.  Let the warmth of the day heat it up" - something to that effect and made no sense whatsoever.  

3 or 4 hours is not going to make any difference on the internal temp of that trailer.  It was 55 degrees inside that thing, it was probably 55 degrees at 6:00 am.  His logic was completely illogical.  I just informed him I'd like to know if you aren't going to be showing up here early, I will come up early and not spend the entire day doing this run.  

So, I was there over 3 hours.  My trailer didn't take near as long to offload, but again, I had to wait for his sorry, well anyway I had to wait on his trailer to be emptied out.  

BTW, the traffic was horrible out there today. I fully expected that, however, because it's the final day people can leave wherever they were visiting for holidays and get themselves home. But I didn't expect that much extra traffic. I-30 was a literal nightmare and on the way back it was even worse.  There was a huge traffic back up that went on for miles.  When I finally got to this "accident" it was just a cop with a vehicle pulled over. No tow trucks, no ambulance, no crews of 1st responders.  

By the time I got back, it was already 5:00 pm.  I got out of the truck, into my SUV, over to Jucy's, got the taco bar and then to the house where the Friendsgiving was being held.  

It's 8:00 pm, just got home 20 minutes ago and I'm toast.  Oh and as I was pulling out of the park this afternoon, some people were pulling in. Are you the Upchurch's? No.  Oh, well who are you then? I guess I should have identified myself for they were giving me strange looks lol.  They were the people staying for a month, I had them mixed up with the people coming in tomorrow who don't want to pay full price so they are getting the space behind the shed.  Even if I have open lots, they aren't getting them, they want the cheap stuff they are going to get the cheap stuff.  

I'm tired and I'm going to get into bed.
