So my current load delivers in ohio. First off, I will start by saying, yes I know, i know, it's been a while since my last blog. It's not that I haven't "wanted" to blog. More that I got pre-occupied with other stuff like school, chatting on oovoo, or some days I get stopped for the night and only have the strict 10 hours off before I gotta take off, so I literally stop, do my homework, eat, go to bed, wake up, drive, rinse and repeat. :P
So, let's see, i have no idea where i was at last time I blogged. So, the last few trips, let's see, I went from cali, to missouri right near kc. It was about 40 minutes away and harry offered to drive down so we could meet up and have lunch. I was like "sounds great harry!" I believe that was the day I requested not to get a load till the following morning because I had driven two nights straight and was freaking exausted! So I went from there, over to pa, was there for just under a day before heading out from there to head down to Laredo, TX. Then from there, I headed up to St Joseph, MO, which I found out was about 55 miles from Betsy and Harry, and my hours were getting down low, so I talked to betsy and harry and they really wanted me to come stay with them for at least a day if possible, so I took a 34 hour reset, parked my truck at a truck stop that apparently is only like 5 miles away from lake quivera, and harry picked me up. It was an interesting weekend, they were swamped so most my time was spent just hanging around the house, getting online, etc... Friday night, I went out to a Tae *not sure if thats how you spell it* restaurant with Betsy. It was really good. Got this noodle dish with rice noodles and brocoli, and beef, etc, with soy sauce and we shared an order of pot stickers. It was funny cuz the waitress said they were spicy, but betsy asked for them to be dumbed down as far as spice goes.. I think the spice was in the 'sauce', cuz eating just the potstickers I was fine, but betsy was covering hers and she was like fanning her mouth.
I was like "im not catching any kick at all", but after diping one or two in the sauce, i went to make another comment and it was like BAMN! I was like "OH there it is!" fanning my own mouth.. Betsy was like "yeah!" LOL. But then i tried a potsticker without, and i felt fine, i was like "i think its the sauce!"
So, saturday, betsy was busy, but harry got some what free that day and went golfing and wanted me to tag along with him just to hang out. I was like sure why not. It was fun, we talked about erin's and my financial issues right now, as well as a bunch of other stuff. That night, we grilled steaks for dinner, with corn on the cob and salad. Betsy literally nuked "one" potato. I was curious. She said when she started it that if harry didn't want it, or wanted to split it with me, that was up to him. I was like "there's only one?" She was like "yeah, i dont want a potato, but you guys can figure it out. :)" I was like "ok" and harry said he didnt even want a potato anyway... so i was like "score!" lol
So that night, betsy ran me back to the truck. I did a local delivery for cre, and then i basically ended up sitting till monday till i got loaded.. They sent me back to laredo again, but i wasnt there long. they sent me right away from there, up to arkanss, and they tried to send me back to laredo, but I messaged my manager about my hours and having home time coming up and he swapped me with another driver so I was headed east instead. Here I sit in Ohio, where i deliver tomorrow morning, and then i will get a load somewhere to pa and then head home for 6 days.. Cant wait!
On that note, I will try to not wait so long next time. Talk to you guys again soon!
