Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

The last time I was there was a while ago, while bumpy, it wasn't as bad as this last weeks visits. I guess the worst part was all the holes were filled with water, so you couldn't see which were shallow, and which required search and rescue. When the yard guy pulled my trailer out with his single axle spotter lift truck, he pulled it all the way out and dropped it in a semi-dry spot in the driveway. When he was in the middle of his turn, the down side of the trailer tandems went thru a deep puddle. I honestly thought I was gonna see my trailer go over.

 

Well, the beer flu is closing in on casa de snackbar. Last week my wife told me my one niece had tested positive, and is now fighting pneumonia. My niece's husband went from not sick to dead from it in less than a week (both had underlying health issues), their adult son went to the hospital, and tested positive, but not a serious case, so he is under quarantine. Now, my daughter's 2 youngest kids both had to come home from school early last week, one had a 101° fever, the other had a 99°. The one with the 99° fever has already broke his fever, and the other is improving...but both tested positive. And these are kids my wife gets off the school bus every day...so we don't know how contagious either one was when they were with my wife. So, now she has to be tested because she deals with the public at her farmers market every week. And several of her regular vendors at the market are out after testing positive. Plus both of my son's kids go to the same public petri dish as the two grandkids that tested positive.(different grades and they don't ride the bus), and his youngest came home early 2 days ago with a fever. Now the most concerning part,(all the kids are improving enough to be cautiously optimistic, but somewhat concerned).. I am due home next week, and my wife's sister and her husband are coming down on vacation next weekend...but both of them are vaccine lab rats because one is a TSA agent and the other works at a DMV office (they're the popular one's in my wife's family )

 

It's not that easy to change your PTA here...you can tell them all you want, but if THEY don't change it, or like usual, ignore it then it doesn't matter how many times you send them a message, it won't work. And HE is the one who knew about the delay AND sent me the load I couldn't do. I told him that my PTA will be later, but exactly when depends on when I get loaded.

 

I've tried both...they get equally ignored.(even if it changes in the system, they still regularly send loads that are scheduled before I am available, which results in a planner messaging me about "is there any way you can......blah blah blah").they make it seem like I am setting it the way I do just to inconvenience them sometimes.
