Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

It needs to wait until spring, that way all the snow birds head home first...we already have too many permanent resident blue hairs from the northeast down here.

 

Kicking myself in the butt. I probably could've gotten them to just rent me a cheap car for the weekend and went home. Would have been a lot cheaper for them and for me as well. I wasn't planning on going home until tax time, but I see Uncle Sam has decided to postpone the beginning date to file until 2/12.

 

The three ring circus continues. For some reason, the assistant FM chose to Uber me from Orlando to Deland last Friday and put me in a motel up here for the weekend. But then he is off today, so the Fleet Manager and I spoke this morning before check-out time and she was totally in the dark about this, so she is now involved. Then, this afternoon, she called and asked if I would help out with some truck road tests they need to do before issuing trucks to drivers (the shop lacks a CDL licensed tech), plus they have a Freightliner without the nanny-cam that is newer than the KW if I were interested. As long as it doesn't have the nanny-cam, has an inverter and a fridge, I am down with it...she says they are talking most of the rest of the week to figure out what is up with that KW, and she says she would have a problem getting me paid for that much breakdown time. Anything...I am soooooo bored just sitting on the bed watching reruns. My back stiffens up doing a 34, it's so stiff right now, I can barely get out of bed in the morning, and I have been walking over to the Publix and Big Lots a mile down the road every day just to loosen it up.

 

Checked out my new(to me) truck before calling it a day to head back to the motel. A Freighliner that has only been in service a year or so, and no nanny-cam #####box in the windshield. Only issue is a missing bolt on the passenger mirror mount where the previous driver probably had the antenna stud bolted thru the top hole. Other than that, it seems like a decent truck (fingers crossed karma is in a covid coma or quarantine).
