On The Road

I am tired of looking at the blank page so the simpleous solution is blog. Dddaahh!! So much going on. Went down and helped Tim finish decking his patio. Turned out really nice. I was so tired when I got home could barely move. Haven't done much with horse pens except leveled one out. Was going to work on that today but it is wet an snowy.

Scott&Stacie were here over the week end for alumni. Their 15th. I really like the new quieter Stac. Went out to eat at Johnny Carino's, won't be doing that anytime soon! Waited an hour for our table, waited another hour for our food and then could barely choke it down! Service was lousey to say the least. Not good at all.

Things are changing at work and I can't say as I like what's going on. They want us to turn out in 24 hrs after getting in. I could have been home thursday night but would have had to turn out Saturday so drug my feet and got in noon friday. They had a load out sunday morning again for me but when they got to looking it was a tueday delivery and I needed a monday delivery. So now I don't have a load out till monday! Just as well as the kids were here and I really didn't want to leave anyway. I did get a penny a mile raise! That's $25 a week for all you non trucker type.

Downloaded my iPod this week end. Now for most of you that is no big deal. For me it is a major undertaking!! So I have 497 new songs to listen to till christmas songs get downloaded.

Scott priced out a kick ass new computer for me last night, $1392. Guess I'll keep on dreaming as that is as far as it is going, so says Sue.

Just because I don't blog doesn't mean I don't read all the other pages. When I get home and start up my computer the very first thing I do is check all the blog pages. Going to catch up on Grey's Anatomy and kick back.

Can you believe it! Two week ends in a row. That's only because I have some to tell you. They sent a messege out on our qualcoms at work that they were going to start up a new program and would I be interested? Ok I need a few more details than that so called and talked to the guy who is setting it up. What it is basicly is you share a truck with someone else, we call it "slip seating". Please, don't try saying it to fast! I have trouble with it anyway. They are looking for 16 drivers out of the Denver terminal(area). You run out and back in 4 days and then take 4 days off while your partner runs his 4 days out and back. We get priorty on all freight so we can make it back in time. I HATE what they are doing to me now so told them "why not. The worst that could happen is going back to work with Kelly"(my dispatcher now). So we will see what happens. They want to start Nov 1. Friday was Russ's last day but he told them he might be interested in doing this as my partner. I'll keep you posted. I got in at 5:30 this morning and unloaded, home at 9:30 and have to be back down to go out noon tomorrow! That sucks. I guess if you keep someone busy and away from home it's harded to look for another job!
