    Absolute worst places I ever went was water warehouses. I had a 5 day. Nothing earthshatering but the worst was at least $22. Sure beat the stuffing out of yesterday!

    Once more into the breach for this week.
    I don't want to be awake. Can't you make it stop?

    3 and an aborted 4th. Spent an hour trying to get something that Ireland hasn't sent clearance for.
    Would have had a 5th but fuel became scarce.

    4 and brought 2 more home. First was Argo to Occidental Chemical. Was one pallet but they added a second one. Went to two different entrances to the same plant. Made a second ticket for the second drop. Sincerely hope I get payed for two.

    Then to World Wide Pipe in Pasadena for a 508# pallet.
    After that the office where I knew the check would not be great and sure enough I got all of $150.
    It went to SDV. As it was a full size pallet if I didn't drop it first it would have caused trouble later.
    Therein lied the problem for later.

    Grabbed a 198# 24x24x22 pallet at Oteco going to Oceanex. Got to and out of Oceanex ok. Got almost 26 gallons of fuel for $40. Makes a difference when the price is $1.559.

    Got a 1# carton at Fox Con that goes to SV Logis.
    Got a 217# pallet at Filtration Technology going to SDV.
    Tried and failed to get the Filtration dropped at SDV.

    Will drop the carton and then the pallet in the morning.
    Spent $20 of my fuel money on dogfood.
    Came home to Salad and Potato soup. Yummy!

    Dropped the two this morning. When I got to where the carton 1# goes they weren't open. So went and dropped SDV. Then went and dropped SV Logis.
    Then I got pu at FMC Hardy. Was a 205# pallet. PU Suhm Spring about 2 miles from SDV. Carton 14#. Dropped those at SDV. Started lunch. He sent pu Romar Oilfield for SV Logis. Pu Southwest Oilfield for Oceanex. Pu Fox Con for SV Logis. 2 pallets and a carton.
    Got Romar a pallet 540#. Went to Southwest Oilfield expecting a pallet but instead got a carton. Leaving a pallet at Fox Con. It was in fact two pallets but half length. Got them on and everything secure. Got 2/3 of the way to SV Logis and it began raining. I covered them the best I could and the guy hustled to unload.
    Roland had left leaving Traci to dispatch. She said thanks and have a nice evening. Started for home 4:30. Got hot dog buns and milk. About to have said hot dogs.

    Good grief. I even dream about hot shot.
    Not sure where we were. We were looking at a ticket that had been made out. It looked like English but we couldn't tell where it picked up or delivered. Not even what states.
    It isn't any wonder why Les picked it up, looked at it, dropped it and walked away..

    Up for another excursion in the wacky world of hot shot.
