CRAZY PLANNERS
Well, Ricky called his Fleet Manager and talked to her about the long dispatch, she called the customer and they said if we got it there by 9:00pm Friday we could drop it. Ricky said yea, I can do that. So we picked up early Friday morning and got there with a couple of hours to board again. Waited, and just after our 14 hours were up they called with a pick up in Baltimore, MD. for that night. Ricky told them no way till after 3:00am when we picked up our hours again, told them we could be there at 5:30. They said fine. Got up and took off, got there at 5:15, they were on the phone checking to see where we were when we pulled in,then the guard wouldn't let us in the gate, Called in and they didn't understand what was going on,the guard said we weren't on the list, and if we were to be a live load, they wouldn't be in till 7:30, waited till then, went to that gate, they had changed shifts out, and the new guard told us they wouldn't be open till 7:30 Monday morning. Called in, what a mess, got the load unassigned, and now came back to Pennsylvania, to get a load Sunday afternoon to be in Myrtle Beach, SC Tuesday 1:00am. What a morning..geezzzzzzz!

Saw the news about the bad weather in Missouri, called the kids, said they were fine. Prayers were answered! It has been cloudy and cool here. We are just west of Allentown,PA.Drug my sweats back out, had put them up while we were in Texas.

Was a pretty drive up from Baltimore today, the pink dogwoods were just gorgeous around York,PA. and had a few white ones mixed in. All the streams were flowing and grass was so green. Was nice even though I had been up since 2:00am.

We saw our friend Paul (Croc) in Fremont,IN when we picked up our load. Was good to see him again. He was going out to Salt Lake...where there was snow.. glad we were going the other way.

Well guess I'll go for now gonna chill a little and get a full nights sleep tonight :)

Living the Dream....Belinda and Ricky
