    Pete, those streets up in Grand Rapids are a pain in the arse. I only went there a couple times, but I thought the street design was ridiculous. First time I went the delivery was scheduled for midnight, they finally showed up at 0600. I watched a family of fox take a walk across an open field. The 2nd time pea soup wouldn't even come close to describing the fog. They actually close schools up there for fog.

    Nothing new or exciting going on here.

    I can't remember what I said about this morning. Turned out to be a load I did not need to tarp.
    Got another slightly heavier load about a mile away from where I dropped. It utterly amazed me!
    Then I REALLY wish I had dropped the trailer. I went about 5 miles west off of I-45 on Beltway 8 to get one pallet at 185#. Would have easily fit in the back of the truck but was given to me as a hot load and I would have gotten soaked unhooking anyhow. Took that pallet to just outside the beltway on I-10 East. Then got a 26# box in Pasadena and took it about 5 miles west of I-45 and about 2 miles north of I-610.

    Rolled in home 18:30

    Got two morning things to do so far.

    Not the best of reasons. Going to a funeral tomorrow for Marcie's last uncle. This makes her dad the last in the family...
