    Good God, what a mess. :eek:

    If it's any consolation,yesterday I had a guaranteed shipment of 20 cases of glasses to take to the government building in Salisbury. I had to drag the pallet two blocks with my hand truck on top of it, through the front door, break it down next to the elevator, and wheel it up to the mayor's office on the 3rd floor.

    I had to do Something similar the other day. Was in downtown. Parked on the side of the street. Get the pallet on the ground. Realize I forgot my dolly. Wheel this pallet a cross this busy street. Then got to carry it in one case at a time cuz they were so dang heavy. Luckily just going inside and to another room.

    The lady that rode up the elevator with me was certainly thrilled to see what her tax dollars are paying for. :rolleyes:

    So today I was out in the L.C. which was a blessed relief even though it was a blind route, but it was a blessed relief from my normal everyday Friday run which is much heavier and much busier.

    Did a handful of big senior homes and a couple stops in the P.R.O and a couple restaurants, pretty normal route easier then my normal run out of the big yard. Sometimes it's fun to run out of the L.C. instead of the big Cleveland yard.

    They called me up yesterday and asked me if I wanted to go out to the L.C. which I did and that was fine worked out well, got home at a decent time for a change on a Friday. Have to clean my room tomorrow it's a mess since the mortgage people have forced me to tear my whole life apart and supply them with more information then they need.
