Good evening from somewhere south of St Louis by 100 miles!

All my loads since my return to work have been late and dang nab it that has to change!  This particular load was already late when I picked it up, had to deal with all the back country driving due to the flood damage that is still in repair (I-29) and it got dropped this afternoon, not this morning.  I have been reprimanded for idling too long as my current time of it is up to 51%!  I was told to bring it down to 22% which does not compute as I can idle 10 hours a day, when in bed.  By my calculations, that would be 40%......who does the math in this company!
It has been a hot and humid day!  Woke up this morning somewhere in farm country with the outside of the truck looking like it had been rained on and it didn’t rain!  We drove to our drop that is due at 7:30 AM (I will be there at 5:30 AM) so I could idle my TEN hours.  I showered just a lil bit earlier, took Gonja for a short walk and we were both panting from the heat and humidity when we got back to the truck. 
Not much more to say EXCEPT, Brian got a job with a local Seattle company so he is QUITTING!  In full honesty, I might not be far behind.  I love seeing the country but the lil pay, the long hours and now, the hot truck while I am paying dog rent…….it is really starting to piss me off.  I would love to see all the terminal branches without AC in 100 degree temps and see how they like it!  Off to the diner so I can update you all.  Sweet and cool dreams J
And Matt……..I can’t log on the internet under my user name.  Any ideas?
I was so tickled to get the windmill in this pick!

I finally got a good shot of the arch!
