    Got my preplan for Monday. I load in Pooler Ga at 2:30 Monday afternoon then deliver in Greenville SC Tuesday at 9:30am. Then head over to our customer in Greenville for a drop and hook going up to Mountain Top Pa for Wednesday.

    That sounds like it might get you back on your weekends home schedule, that'll be a good thing.

    It should. I need to be home on Monday the 13th (Birthday) and Tuesday the 14th (Anniversary/Valentines day). My wife is throwing a 56th birthday party for me on Monday the 13th, and I'm taking her out for our usual dinner down in South Beach for our Anniversary on the 14th.

    I'm glad I don't have to put in for time off weeks in advance with the hope of being home within 3 days of the time I need. If I did it would be the last time.

    Boy you are about the fourth driver that I've spoke to that has a sinus infection at work. I wonder what is hiding in the lounge thats making people sick. Must be from the vending machines.

    Big job today is to give both these Labs a good bath. They got out yesterday after the lawn guys left a gate open. Big no no, they beelined right to the lake and were swimming for an hour. They should have been born with fins on.

    That's funny, but I'm glad you were able to retrieve them. If our Lab got out, we'd probably never see her again.

    They used to run away. But now that they are going on 8 they don't want to be too far from the food bowl. The only way we were able to get them back home was to get in the car and drive after them, bribe them with a treat then they would hop in the car and we would drive them home. Now it's a quick swim then home to eat.

    I just got done with these 2. Washed, scrubbed combed and even brushed their teeth. Now they look and feel like Labs.
