Fort Worth,TX

We FINALLY made it back out on the road today! We got up this morning and were running around like chickens with our heads cut off. Which makes me wonder. Has anyone actually ever seen a chicken running around with it's head cut off? Hmmm

So we were up and on the road at 0640 this morning to go pick up the truck from our storage facility. Once I dropped J off there he headed to pick Smokey up from the kennel and I headed back to Michelle's to finish rounding our stuff up. J got there about 30 minutes behind me and we got everything back in the truck and we were off. Our first stop was over in Saginaw,TX to pick up a loaded trailer so we could make a local delivery. We made it, just barely, but then sat for about three and a half hours while they unloaded us. That is one of the longest unloads we have had in a while.

As I was sitting there we got a pre-plan which has us picking up at Kraft here in Ft Worth tonight at 1800. It is only about 3.5 miles away so we will start that direction in about 30 minutes. This load will be going to Denver,CO and we will deliver it tomorrow afternoon at 1400. It is nice to get a short run out of here because it will make our payroll cutoff tomorrow afternoon. After that, who knows where we will be going!

I have seen a chicken with it's head cut off. The expression is not without merit, but there is the running into things you can no longer see and the spurting blood all over the place thing that we kind of gloss over.
Glad the vaca went well and that you are all rested up and ready to run hard for a while.

Stay safe out there.

Buckshot you got it right. Grew up on a farm and had lots of chickens. Became my chore when Mom wanted chicken for Sunday dinner. Learned early on how to hold on and to hold on tight. Both you two take care and glad the cruise was fun.
