    Today was a 5 day. Nothing earth shattering but if only i could do that every day....

    Pretty soon I'm going to have to leave the house with 4 gallons of water rather than the 3 I take now. The cooler I can keep the engine the less of a blue cloud follows me around.

    So Friday begins pick up at Atascocita High School and follow the guy to a residents. It was a Barbecue Pit that was too big to go on my liftgate.
    Second was over to NW Houston for 4 cartons 65# going to Bollore. Third was down by Hobby for a pallet with 2# going to a plant on Independence Pkwy.
    Forth after picking up by Hobby was grab a case at J&T Tool going out Hwy 90 almost to the San Jacinto river.
    Rode the Lynchburg Ferry over to the plant.
    Rode it back across to get a drum at K-Solv going to Mauser Corp. Got there 15 minutes before the cutoff I was given. 4pm. Never heard another peep out of Dispatch.

    Today my Sister and I went to do some errands. I let a little under 4 gallons of spooge out of my engine. Put 2 gallons of 40w oil and a gallon of 85/140 gear oil back in it. My right front wheel bearing assembly is going to need replacing before much longer.

    Sheesh. Get what looks like a good pick up number.
    Arrive at the location. They look at me like I'm from outer space. Sure would be better if I was paid by the hour.

    Okay. I was told at 8:30 am to.pick up at Pipeline Packaging down by Hobby and deliver it to Univar on FM 529. Followed closely by pick up at Thrustmaster on 529 and take it to Bollore (SDV ).
    As I was about to get to Univar the wife of the company owner called me and said that there is a problem with Cargo Insurance and if I want to keep running I should call Progressive about insurance. Delivered Univar and went to Thrustmaster. He sent one more pick up Pam's Paint and deliver it to a place. When I looked up where it goes it was up near SDV. So I went and got a pallet of paint. Dropped SDV and then dropped Pam's.
    Sent a message to Roland that as it happens I need to change a bearing hub on my truck. And that Irene suggested I call Progressive and how was I supposed to pay Progressive. He sent back don't call I'll look into it. Got home at 5pm. Will attack the bearing hub before it gets good and hot tomorrow. Also on tap is to get a new password for my email so I can access it on the home computer and get some work done on getting a new job.
     
    chopper103in and Rocks Thank this.

    Earlier today Roland sent "Where are you at buddy"
    I sent home with my truck in pieces in the driveway.
    He sent ok

    Recently I asked if the insurance was fixed.
    He responded that he hasn't heard anything.
    So what did it matter where I was.....

    Tonight I'm in Mojave Ca. I plan to stay at least a week. I was out for two months. Big mistake. I'm burned out. Today I slept for Twelve hours. Not straight, got up after seven hours last night, started to go to breakfast then went back to bed for two. After breakfast went back and slept for three.

    It's my therapy for the insomnia I develop when I'm out too long. The last week and a half I was averaging 2 hours sleep for every 24.

    Next week I'll bounce back and see all of you out there.
