Another finally Friday! Yippee!!!

My yesterday was messed up. Nothing ordinary, nothing as usual. When I arrived at the office between seven and seven thirty, I began my downloads. Shortly afterwards KO walked in and said we were going to take a trailer to the production facility in town, then we were going to the office of the company drug program administrator. It seems that KO and I both came up on the random list this time. After that we took KO's big blue Pete to the shop. This truck drove like a dream last year but this year when I have driven it, it has been like the truck from H e double l. You can never relax, all the sudden it will just take off like the back end is going to pass the from end. It is much like trying to stay in the middle of a horse that has been spooked. We had been concentrating on the rear suspension but finally we decided we would let the repair shop put it on their shaker machine. Turns out the front end is the problem. I am not totally convince but they say king pins and king pin bushings. We are ready to try anything. KO was taken back with the cost of the repairs but I told him if it kept that truck out of the ditch and in an upright attitude it would be "priceless".

While they were doing the diagnosis on "big blue" we test drove a gorgeous black and chrome Peterbilt. Thankfully, it had some problems and it never made our wish list. It just goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover.

We finally arrived back in the office at almost two o'clock. I loaded a little data and then we went to work on a trailer that had a floor issue. These are becoming so "old hat" that we can whip out a major repair in just over an hour. It also helps that all the materials and equipment are centrally located in the service trailer.

I finished my Thursday at the office helping DO with some payroll. We had one driver who stopped by to get his check early as he was leaving to go deep sea fishing over the weekend. That weekend excursion sure is appealing!

My Friday has been busy. I am the man in charge. The man with a plan. KO & DO have taken their oldest kiddo to do some pre-admittance paperwork and get blood work done. They are having a procedure Monday morning. I guess that means for a brief span I will be in charge Monday too.

I have gone over settlements, written checks, entered fuel and entered payroll into the spreads so I am on top of my day. I have this feeling that by days end I will be hunting for stuff to do.

My weekend is looking full. It has been thirteen days since the lawn was last mowed, so it is looking pretty shaggy but with all the daily rain we haven't been able to work it in. I have been putting off trimming the shrubs but I am going to have to get serious about them as well. This weather is making the pool a constant project. It seems like it has been more work than normal. Oh well, not much summer left.

Well, have a weekend!
