Happy 4th of July!

Hey ya'll! I hope everyone here in the states had a good 4th of July with their friends and families. I got home this afternoon, hung out with the family for a few hours, then we went and had BBQ for dinner with 2 friends. Didn't really see any fireworks except for the occasional site we saw on our way home with fireworks going off in the sky.


We would have tried to hunt down where they are doing fireworks, but the wife and girls are taking off early for Kansas City for a 4-5 day vacation and I'm taking off to get loaded in the morning to head to Florida. I'd love to go with them, but until my business is fully off and running, we can't both afford to be off for the vacay. That's kind of why I figured I'd take the weekend off in Kansas City when there weren't any loads, and enjoyed 2 days in the hotel just chilling out. I wouldn't have minded having more time to chill, and I know when I no longer have to worry about money, I will definitely take a longer vacation. Preferably somewhere with a beach and alcohol. ;)

OH! Here's something ya'll might get a kick out of. I parked my truck at Walmart when I was in KC. It was parked there 48 hours,, and wasn't even in the way. There's a side street with a dead end. I backed into the dead in, and was basically just parked in the corner. So, yesterday I get back to the truck by 11AM, get to my load pickup at 12, I'm in the dock for a little bit when it hits 1 oclock, and my fleet manager calls me. "Walmart is threatening to tow your truck?" "Oh really? I'd like to see them try!" "what do you mean?" "Jacquie I'm at the customer getting loaded. Haven't been at Walmart for like 2 hours." She was like "Oh, ok."

I'm like SMH. lol. I'm glad I figured I wasn't gonna push it longer than 48 hours with me parked there. Some places you can get away with a while. That Walmart, we can park short term but I guess I was there just a little too long. Good thing I got back and left b4 they decided to tow. So when I was delivering in Memphis Arkansas at Dollar General Distribution Center, I ripped my shorts. I was like "SHIT!"

So pretty much any time I had to get out of the truck until my wife picked me up at the truck stop 10 miles from here, I walked around with my shorts ripped. Oh well. LOL. So when I got home, I first ran to Walmart to grab new shorts, and then I ran to Publix cuz they have my high PH water I like. Got all stocked up on water, and I grabbed some trash bags cuz I'm not throwing away my plastic bottles. I figure I'll bag them up, collect them, and whenever I get a chance when back here some time on a day off, I will try to find somewhere I can turn them all in to be recycled instead of adding them to landfills. I figure, a little way of doing my part to help the environment.
