TGIF

Thank Goodness It's Friday !!!! It has been an even crazier week than last week and I didn't think that was possible. We left California last Friday evening, arrived in New Jersey Monday morning, picked up in Pennsylvania, then to Tennessee, on to Alabama, then Georgia and delivered today in Upstate New York. It had to be well over 5,000 miles just this week. Whew !

And to top it all off, Ron caught a terrible cold. Summer colds are the worst and his is no exception. He's been doctoring with everything and we have the next 2 days off because we ran out of weekly hours (We each started with 70 and now have 5 & 10 respectively so must be off over 34 straight hours to reset) so maybe he can get caught up on some much needed rest. One thing that is helping is something I read in an email. I made him rub Vicks VapoRub on the soles of his feet. I read that it stops coughing at night. Guess What---IT REALLY WORKS !!!!!!

I must tell you about the latest "Tom, the GPS Guy" episode. Yesterday morning as we were going to our pick up, a load of weapons, and were following Tom's directions and thought he led us astray. I checked the Qualcomm in the truck and the local directions from our dispatch was exactly the same as Tom's. Let me just say that in the middle of Farmer's Market the only weapons were rotten fruit and veggies! After asking directions from Market security we finally made it to our pickup about 20 miles later. It seems the street we needed stops and picks up quite a distance away. Always a learning experience! Until next time . . . . . . .
