The day off was wonderful. Cattle Baron. Excellent salad bar, good meal. Laid back. Leisurely. Relaxed. We didn't rush at all. We wandered around the recently expanded HEB. Now that is a busy place. Staples. Target. A little bit of lots of things.

Nearly none of my drivers came back when they were supposed to. Either they were late or they did not show at all. Two fit in that last class. They are on my doodie list right now. If I could find replacements I would. And I am looking.

The only two drivers who responded as was expected were Eli and Michael, and they were calling me to see when I needed them. Today Michael is off, so we will have to adapt to that.

I have always liked it best when Juan is on days and Barco is on nights. Juan drives hard from behind that control console. Barco seems to get comfortable and set the cruise control. Usually we stay up much better on loads at nights with the new shift change. Already I am dreading two weeks from now when we flip the crews again.

One day at a time.

Have a day!

FATHER.
