    OK

    Please, remain seated.

    OM MASTER TRIP UPDATE:

    We got empty, the driver working the electric pallets jack.

    2 moar hours DETENTION ( Always moist and delicious ).

    Possibly the hardest back out / egress of our career.

    Very tiny dock ( The Phoenician ). There would be enough room to turn around, except amongst all the other stuff, there's two walk in coolers someone thought that would be a good place to put those.

    SO

    Two choices, back all the way out, call a wrecker.

    1 hour 15 minutes, didn't even hit a curb. The last one to turn around is blind of course.

    There's just enough room to squeeze in and out.

    One DUDE said he's only ever seen two people make it. And no one ever dared try it at night.

    Thank goodness The OM has mad backing skills.

    I'm trying to think of what else could be #1 and nothing comes to mind.

    Yea two hairpins lined with bollards and light bollards you barely make going forward. Fortunately, being a cat, The OM has awesomest night vision.

    Well we polished off the last of the chicken, had a good cup of coffee, and I think that's going to be a wrap.

    Fall is in the air 42 degrees this morning sunny and a high of 65 blankets are coming out of the closet. I booked a Caribbean cruise to celebrate 45 years with my bride. The only question is does Dramamine work with a tequila chaser?

    Picked up this lawn ornament at a yard sale. It'll look good in the North pasture with the Cows.
    Wife is going to be thrilled.

    So, drive 503 miles for this load that someone forgot to load Wednesday, dropped yesterday in Emporia KS.

    Made it last night at 2015, checked in, receiving dude said he was going to lunch.

    Waited an hour in overflow, kicked off shoes, lay down on top of blankets cause i knew what that meant.

    0023, dude calls, ready for you.

    Empty 0230, drive 27 miles, now not allowed on property, covid, you know.
    Found a spot, now heading to KC Mo, at least i’m back in ag exempt til i get loaded and outta there or I’d be screwed over timewise to make this pickup.

    All these places try to make you be an outlaw driver cause they’re 24/7 with 3 8 hour shifts.
