You have no idea how much we are looking forward to this big plant coasting to a halt Sunday night!

Our day was shot early on yesterday, so Krl and I didn't make our trek to town. This week the nightly bale haulers have had an ethnic week. Go figure. They talk a good show but can't seem to back it up. I brought in outside trucks to haul three loads just to catch up their slack. I think one driver has four and a half loads the last three nights.

On the other end, our resident Einstein truck driver dazzled us with his stupidity and laziness. He has hauled three loads of seed the last two days. For many of our drivers that would constitute a regular day. In addition, this driver messed up a bumper and lost considerable productivity time due to a brain fart. I warned him that we, (meaning he and I) are going to bump heads.

Our big seed storage house is EMPTY. It was clean yesterday and all that is there today is where a truck off loaded a little seed to get legal. In the next half hour that may change, as we have room for one more load in our overhead boxes. My plan continues to be to run in the seed house beginning Saturday morning, until we shut down Sunday night.

I spent a little time on the computer yesterday afternoon doing a little shopping. Krl had an item for one on her list and I added two for two more.

I still contend I could get into shopping on line from a margarita bar! A little Mexican lemonade, some chips, salsa, and my laptop! The only thing that would make it better is if I could do it barefoot and in my jogs and "T".

We are going to try to do the town deal again today. Krl lost or misplaced her list on Tuesday, so she has had to revamp it. I guess we will wait and see when Krl gets up.

We had a strange night here. Most nights I spend on the couch. Close to the phone and to the door if someone has a problem. Last night we all went to bed in the bedroom. Shortly after midnight I woke up and found Krl and Phoo Do on the couch, I woke them and we all went to bed again. About four I got up and found them on the couch again. I returned to bed and Maple Syrple cuddled up and began snoring. About six I got up for good and moved into the living room and began readying to make my shift change rounds. It was then I realized that Maple had accomplished exactly what she wanted. She had the bed all to herself! That was short lived because when I turn the light on over my desk Krl and Phoo got up and retreated to the bedroom.

Maybe my luck is changing. We were close to filling the over head seed boxes when I saw a truck come in.

Once again I would rather be lucky than good!

Have a day!

FATHER, get us to our break. Rest us. Renew us.
