High - making more $$$ than ever, giving a young man pumping his arm a solid 3 second blast and seeing his smile. Learning getting dog tired and frustrated makes your backing embarrassing. Using ELDT knowledge/common sense to discover secondary glad hand slipped and was leaking to the point my truck didnt want to shift for crap making docking/backing painful. Only discovered when leaving dock, always have the windows down listening for weird noises.. yup Hisssssssssss..................
Lows - Having the county sheriff demand i go up a hill on a 90 degree turn for his idea of a detour regardless of me motioning i'm in a long semi, unloaded, hill is snow covered and unplowed. I made it 50 feet. He moved his detour down to a a more sensible road. County shows up with plow truck/sand. He gets stuck. I help him pack sand under his tires and blessed him for attempting to get unstuck because he was 2 inches from rolling his equipment down a 6 foot deep shoulder embankment. Plow driver sanded then plowed my truck out, impressed at the minimal sand needed for empty truck traction, loaded would have been interesting.
Getting stuck put things in perspective. Reason for my detour, 76 year old lady died, slid out and hit a semi head on 5 minutes ahead of me. I'll take getting stuck any day, thank you lord.
Highs and Lows of the week...
