Well, Saturday I felt like a yo-yo.

I left Abilene for Loop and before I got to Snyder I received a call from K.O. telling me the forklift cylinder we had repaired 1 week earlier, was malfunctioning. I pulled over and we talked back and forth, and I made calls to the hydraulic shop I use after hours numbers. Finally I circled and began making my way to Anson.

What this meant was I would have to round trip it to Loop Sunday.

Dang the luck!

To further complicate my trials, I have been under the weather. To be honest, I feel rotten! I believe what started out as allergies has moved down to include, but not be limited to, my ears.

Saturday's drive to Anson revealed a forklift that miraculously healed itself.

I was hopeful that the gin at Anson would not gin on Sunday, but a mis-communication between the assistant ginner and the manager led them to gin on Sunday.

I woke Sunday morning with horrible drainage, feverish, and achey, but neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow will keep me from my appointed rounds.

I left Abilene shortly after 8 and drove to Loop, spent a few hours there collecting paperwork from drivers, then began the trek back. On my return trip I received a call from K.O. telling me the forklift had malfunctioned again! I drove directly to the gin at Anson and by the time I left I had the forklift cylinder in my truck.

On my way home, I made a stop at Walgreens for more meds.

I am so sore from coughing and to sneeze is unreal!

I'm headed to the hydraulic shop!

Have a day!

FATHER, give me a double dose today!
