    With the construction and the coop that never closed I'm shocked it's not a daily occurance.

  3. Boy the California drivers don't like rain. They can't drive like its NASCAR


    It must be the day everyone's having something happen.

    I get to my shipper to pick a container up. Easy easy. But no can't have easy.
    I have a small 29' H-beam on the tail section.

    In the spot they need to put the container. So. I tell them. Lift my beam. I'll roll Back and you set it on front.

    A "suit" comes outside, who should of never left his desk. Makes a huge fuss. Now. No container and I'm chaining my beam down again. Uggggg

    Made it to the Petro in Effingham. Ran out of want to, so decided to kick back a lil early. Start dropping in Normal Il then final in the Windy. The National Finals starts tomorrow night, so I'm ready for 10 days of listening on the radio. Might catch a go-round or 2 on the boob tube if I get to the house in time. Should be a good one. Welp check y'all later!

    There is a grocery store parking lot at the intersection of 59 & 64. I see trucks parking in it, big parking lot. I think the grocery store went out of business. Hobby Lobby might have closed too. Its got a Dunkin Donuts & a McDonalds in it.

    We don't live that far from West Chicago. Hit me up if you want to meet up.

    Hope this helps !
