Love you too Mom! I called Mom while waiting on that afternoon shag and told her that I had updated the blog and she had only read my last post of me whining (from the night before). Well folks, she got more whining to go along with new pictures. She does enjoy those pictures!
I sat for 9 hours waiting on that second shag and had enough time when I got that load back to the yard to park at a nearby truck stop. I think I have only 5 hours tomorrow before I have to call it a day so I might be stuck in Utah when I should be on my way home. After a day like today and with winter only a few months away, getting a local driving job in Seattle is quickly becoming a priority. The last time I worked for $4 an hour, I was working fast food as a teenager and that was many, many years ago. At this rate, that retirement cottage is going to be someone’s shed! Better than a box under the freeway!
I will be dreaming of my sister, Lorene, this evening as I fall asleep as all I smell at the moment is livestock. Not sure from where but I know they are here somewhere! Gonja might find them when we go for our last evening walk, his 5th walk for today and a good brushing too. No internet, no entertainment, I need to get a book!
Oh, while waiting for that load at the shipper, another company truck was there as well and not once did they leave their rig! But I am glad I did as on the same block as the shipper was Sweet Candy and I arrived at the company just in time for a tour of the candy factory! They make everything from jelly beans to taffy (their main product) and it was quite amazing to see how everything was made. Check out their website Sweet Candy as they have been around for quite some time. I bought my favorites, chocolate raspberry sticks; a bag of taffy and a bag of burnt peanuts (haven’t had those in ages). It was one great plus on a very boring day!
Off for our walk……..later!
If you wake up breathing, you better wake up smiling!
