Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

This heat is a little early, I'd expect it in August.

Spending my 34 here at the Love's in Rockwall. They have the 'must wear face covering' sign at every door, and they were asking anyone coming in to the store without a mask to put one on.

 

Well, being a former naysayer myself about the beer flu, I think it's more than just a media hyped ratings issue. Otherwise hospitals wouldn't be at or over capacity in a lot of areas. My wife had to take her mom to the ER last week. She sat in the waiting room for 5 or 6 hours, then once they got her in, examined, processed, and made the decision to admit her, they had to sit in the triage area another 4 or 5 hours waiting on a room. They had patience in beds lined up in the halls. And my urologist needs me to schedule a treatment to blast a large kidney stone, a procedure that has to be done in the hospital because pretty much most urologists offices don't have the in-office facilities to do it, but they're talking August before it can be done because the hospitals are limiting non-emergency procedures right now because of the drastic spike in covid cases.

 

Partially true, but in my area, the hospitals are over capacity, and they only admit you if there is a need for medical treatment beyond what you can get at home. The hospital my Mother-in-law is in, starting tomorrow, will no longer permit visitors.

 

Well, the live load wasn't as much of a challenge as I though it was gonna be. They gave me 3 130 x 204 packs, which fills one side, then on the smaller glass, 3 of one size and 2 of the other, which fills the other side. Weight wise, it was as unbalanced as an 11 pack of 96 x 130's would be. The one issue was, they had to hunt glass. I was suppose to pick up at 20:00. Had the trailer all prepped and ready by 19:15. They didn't start loading until after 21:00, partially because they were 2 short on the big glass and were looking for it. Their computer said they had it, but weren't sure where it was. They loaded the 1 big pack, then loaded the rest while the foreman was on the hunt. I had one side done, secured and had the belly tarp secured, and sat there until after 23:00 before the other glass showed up. Then, once it was on the trailer, poof, the loaders disappeared leaving me to pull my own main tarp. Unlike a regular flatbed, tarping a fixed A-frame double drop with a mixed load of glass is a challenge for one person now that we aren't permitted to walk on the glass. All told, it was after 1 am before I got out of the dock. But, I guess I did it right, the load is as balanced as it gets
