    It was a very UN Friday. That load above which I had to go to another location for and wait until the place I was taking it to paid some past due money was 3 of 3.
    Kinda pisses me off.
    Got home 6:30.
    Cream tuna on toast and deep fried fries.

    Got a decent but not the best ever check. Have come to a big warehouse for a 16# carton going to a Vietnamese grocery store in west Houston.

    It wasn't a 16# carton. It was an 838# pallet/crate made in Vietnam. When I got where it went I used a strap to pull it towards the back of my truck. Then took one end of the crating off to hand unload the boxes (a few of which were HEAVY ). Then manhandled the rest of the crate onto my liftgate and let it to the ground.
    It took two hours to get loaded and in another few minutes it would have been another hour. Couple that with the hand unloading and it was 2pm before I was done. My number two run was to U-Tex in Conroe going to SDV. Hit SDV at 4:30. Took until 5:05 to get out. Got oil and dog food at Tractor Supply. And two gallon of milk for 4.98 at Valero. About to have Spaghetti.
