    Just got back to the yard...had 24 hours to deliver a load on thursday. Thankfully i was on yard and could do things at home

    Went to store under construction. They knew we were coming...yet had to make a driveway and fill a mud hole so we could get in. This was in addition to moving fences and cars, stopping traffic, and blindsidng in with the sun blinding

    Thankfully there were 2 of us so we could get it done together safely and efficently.

    All part of the adventure. Just a so so week freight and miles wise. Gonna write truck up for check engine light, do a lil cleaning, get my load for sunday and hopefully head home.

    Whos still in richmond?

    I'm at @JohnBoy 's favorite place. W Memphis. Don't know what I'm getting, except a PM while I'm here. And a headlight. One went bye bye this morning on the drive here and I'm just too lazy to change it myself!

    Oh, and someone please shoot me if I EVER come to this heck hole needing a shower ever again! Not just our yard, but the Loves as well. Sheesh!!!!

    So, there was no way to make Crawford by 6am so I called the broker (well, text actually) and told them they need to push it back some. They did ... to 7pm!

    I said ummmm .... no, I'm not babysitting it that long so I called the reciever and set it up for the only morning spot they had at 8am. Got here on the dot and being unloaded now. :)

    Probably DH to the yard from here.
