    They moved some trailers so got out of there. Made it to the Pilot in Dalton, GA. What's wrong with your unit Tangerine.

    Well Red you know the real steep part close to the guard shack. Well Prime didn't figure out his landing gear would catch on it. But it did and it was still stuck when I left. I'm thinking he probably was trying to get around somebody but not sure.

    Brilliant. And right in the main entrance to be showcased like an award winner. I figured it had to involve that hill, or maybe he was trying something real stupid like a u-turn in the alley overlooking the rr tracks. For future reference, there is a second gate further south on Industrial. If you go in that way, you still have to check in with the front guard if you're picking up packaged goods on that side of the plant. The docks in the back are where they load raw product.

    Speaking of which, thousands of chickens in south GA lost their lives last night and I'm down in Perry and gonna get some. Hopefully early enough to miss ATL rush hour this afternoon. Another night at home if the consignee gets the birds off my truck promptly.

    Toying with the idea of taking some more days off and participating with the Hod Rodders of Tomorrow competition at the Skills USA occupational ed show in Atlanta. High school shop teams compete in a timed engine assembly event. The car club I'm in, Georgia Street Rod Association, supplies volunteers for setup and judging. The headquarters bunch is supposed to be in from Chicago in the morning to begin set up.

    Yeah I got familiar with that other entrance My first time being there. It just wasn't a good day on industrial blvd. The chicken company across the street. A guy pulled out and his chickens came out. Not a good sight. I'm wondering if they brushed the chickens off picked them off the ground put them back in the box and told him to keep trucking. They may need to put a load lock in before he pulls out next time.

    Still in Laredo. Turns out the load hadn't crossed the border. Seriously, why put out a load for pickup if it's not even in your ####### warehouse????

    Awww, is there gonna be a memorial for this mass murder?

    That hot rod gig sounds interesting!


    For the same reason you sit and wait at the produce houses, because your load is still in the field. . .
