Friday - night

No time for a lengthy post, time to go to bed.  3 straight days of driving hard that I will just have to get into next post, probably tomorrow.  A few things going on, most notably finally finding a person who will actually work for the money he is paid. I need help with the expansion and I'm 90% sure this is the person that will help me get it done. 

He's a very hard worker, he earns his money.  If he says he's going to do something, he does it.  It started at our house, the queen of the house found him somewhere, probably on a Facebook ad - we have almost completely cleaned out the backyard. I got a wild hair and decided to rent a large dumpster, she found this dude a while back to cut lawns and the rest is history.  Out back yard is actually pretty nice now. 

More to be done but it's nothing like the jungle it was. 

I can tell ya that after I got done delivering yesterday and asked the manager about getting my trailer back from the place in Haughton to restart my normal runs?  Yea, that didn't happen.

"I have a big favor to ask of you".  I know when he says that that whatever it is, I'm not going to like it nor will I want to do it.  The driver that kept walking all over me was fired.  He needed me to drive clear to the loading plant in Arkansas to load that day - yesterday - after already driving to Dallas and planning on going and getting my trailer in Haughton and getting life back to normal. 

Yeah, no.  I ended up driving the 5-1/2 hours up there and back to El Dorado where I spent the night in a Hampton hotel - I refused to sleep in the truck for the AC doesn't work and frankly, it's a pile of junk.  I don't want to sleep in it.

I woke up this morning and left there at 6 am to drive the 5 plus hours back to Ennis, offload and then back to my Park.  

There is a lot more, but I'm exhausted after 3 days of OTR style driving mega miles. You know I don't like driving anymore and this has been a real stretch for me.  Totally nothing I wanted to do.
