    Oh man, the wait was so long friday we decided not to even mess with it. I may get stuck there on Monday too, if ya see that blue volvo with yellow letting say hello. I got my fingers crossed some new contracts open up, and the crowd disperses.

    Depends on ethanol plant. Plant at Colwich is very slow at times. One's at Lyons and Russell are fairly fast.


    May see you on Monday. I would much rather go to Lyons plant but Cargill doesn't haul into there. Hopefully lines will be shorter Monday but not counting on it.

    Wheat looks good. The farmers I haul for have close to 2,000 acres planted. Maybe one of these days will get the milo cut...not today foggy out.

    Surprised me. Sure didn't think the chiefs would beat steelers. Your titans are doing better they could win too.

    Well Kansas was right about the long lines at Colwich. Took one load in today...enough for me. Hadn't been there in year didn't think it could get worse there, stupid me. They only process 4 trucks a hour so with twenty trucks 5 hour wait, no thanks.

    Talked to dispatcher and got a different load. Hauling beans again.
