Tuesday - evening

Much better sleep last  night, thankfully.  Up to Gurdon, offload quickly, over to the tire shop yet again in Hope to get that bad tire replaced on the trailer I just picked up yesterday.  I'll say one thing about this trailer: the offload valve where you hook up the line to deliver the product is on the side of the trailer instead of underneath it.  I have been crawling under trailers for quite a while now, this one you don't have to do that at all.  

Loading yet again tomorrow.  I am very much disliking going to Lufkin, 8 or 9 loads in a row I have been there at least 3 hours, some days much more than that.  They are shorthanded - they are always shorthanded but some days are worse than others. When you see a plant manager coming out to load you, they are shorthanded that day.  

Other than that? Well, I did nothing at the park today - it was a real feel of well over 100 degrees and after driving in a not-so-cool truck all day long, laboring out in the worst heat of the day didn't sound palatable. I really want to get this guy working but I just don't have it in me to sit out there in this heat.  Nevertheless, I am going to try to get him out there this week on whatever day and try to get at least that sewer finished.  It probably won't take more than 4 or 5 hours? 

Or much longer than that, who knows.  Sewer line is the hardest part as far as I'm concerned and that only because you have try to get the slope "perfect". Not too shallow and not too steep.  Not to shallow for obvious reasons.  But, did you know if you have the slope too much, the fluids bypass the solids and the solids - well they just sort of sit there. And once they dry up, you have a problem.  

I have the slope way too high on the shed, but that's not an issue because of all of the washing machine water flushing it out on a daily basis. 

Whatever.  Not today, that's for sure, it's almost 9:00 pm, but crazy enough, there's still plenty of daylight out there! Amazing. Arizona is even worse, there are times of the year where you can still see a hint of the sun near 10:00 pm. 

Oops, forgot to check if I have the early load tomorrow. I just know I'm working through Saturday, Sunday off and then start it all over again.  16 days until vacation.....2 more full weeks of work and then a few days of work the following week and then 8 glorious days off. 

To that end I have been dieting and tho I am at a plateau right now, it'll eventually fall off and I'll start losing  fat and weight again.  Doing the bicycling too. I just made the kids go with me, lol.  80 more pushups today, best get busy after this entry, trying to do 100 per day again previously and made it - I think around 140 days?  Or was it 120? Meh, who knows, my arms were super pumped up as well as my shoulders. My chest wasn't showing anything, too much blubber there lol.

That's about it. Now that I reminded myself I need to finish off the pushups for today.

This was yesterday's entry, I was just going to leave it in the unfinished entries list but, since it explainsa miserable night's sleep? Might as well publish it.  

Monday - evening

What a miserable night's sleep. Started out with going to bed early, kids making too much noise.  About the time I finally decided to give them what-for, one of them came barging into my room to say goodnight.  

Later, one of the lady of the house's dog started barking right outside of my window.  I was screwed after that.  You do that to me while sleeping you might as well just wake me up for the night, I'll be lucky to ever get back to sleep.  I think I might have gotten 3 hours of sleep.  

The reason I got up early was go to go Haughton for a different trailer. Although uneventful, it adds about 100 miles to the trip - a couple of hours and then some.
