Work'n on garage

I am so happy I didn't have to leave out today. Thorban came down and helped me install Tim's old ceiling fan in the garage. I really only wanted the light but may use the fan in time. Spent the rest of the day going thru boxes and throwing shit out. Yes, I actually did that(throw shit out). Went around and picked up tools and cleaned out tool boxes. Tomorrow Sue says I have erands to run. Oh, sent Duke on the truck with Greg for a couple of weeks till I know for sure what's happening. I am not scheduled to go out till tuesday afternoon.

Later...

First time ever...

This week Pat got a new Toshiba laptop computer. Her's wasn't that bad but in her line of work time to upgrade. I asked Sue what she was going to do with her old Dell. Long story short- I'm typing on it now. Didn't hurt a bit that Scott was here to reformat it and swap things over, but the music is quit frankly kicking his butt! I have about 10GB of music to reload on here. He has been so patient with me so far and I learn alot from him. Sue just throws up her hands and walks away usually when I ask for help.

In other news- went out yesterday and froze our tushes off but got the water line buried before it froze and damaged the works. We have running water to ALL pens now, sheds for 4 of 6. That hole has been there since this late spring. The guy that rents the back part(quansut hut) wanted me to leave it open so he could hook onto the water( in 3 or 4 more years if we got lucky). He is known for taking forever to do or get anything done.

Went to town with my mom yesterday and we picked out new storm door and entry door for her basement place. Really nice, I think she will really enjoy them. We are having them instold because I have niether the time or desire to do it.

Boy do I like my new routine! I am not hung up on the 4 day part, this week it was 6 but it was to my advantage to just play it out. The way it is suppose to work is "4 days on- 4 days off". I loaded beer at Anhauser Busch in Ft.Collins for Salina, KS. Didn't get loaded till 2am but still made it to Salina in time to unload at noon. I had a dry van(which hardly ever happens) so had to go to KC, MO and swap it out for a reefer. Then on to Ottumwa, IA for a load of pork(actually bacon for Sonic). They told me at 12:17pm when I checked in that it was a "live load" for cold storage. At 6:30 pm I went back in and asked them if they were going to load me any time soon. Responds was NOT what I wanted to here! "Oh, it's been loaded since 2pm!" Assholes...so off I went to Mesquite, TX. Now I am not a big fan of TexASS but what the heck. For 11 years all I have done is run to LA and back, it's time to see some other country. And I am a a big beleiver in the interstste system for getting to where you want to go. But I had the time so went "cross country" and loved every minute of it!!! Made my delivery Monday morning at 8am, rushed over to pick up my backhaul and found out they had cancelled it! So I sat till 8am the next morning. The good news is that because of that I didn't have to leave out Saturday which I didn't want to do anyway. So someone is watching out for us not matter what we think sometimes.

Ok enough even! Later...
