I guess you didn't check my blog Tuesday or Wednesday! We got into town Wednesday morning and wanted to do dinner Wednesday night but we didn't hear from you. E-mail me your number, tnetherton@hotmail.com and we will set something up for Sunday night if that works for you. We will be busy with Justin over the weekend, but he has to be back on base Sunday afternoon sometime and we would love to have dinner when he heads back. Looking forward to hearing from you!
We ended up stuck in Springfield for a day. We finally got the truck taken care of at Freightliner and then got the PM done at the yard. When I picked it up it would start but wouldn't stay running. Come to find out, one of the updates they did on the computer was to the idling system. It was set to shut off after 5 seconds because that is what the factory had set. Once they figured it out, they went in and changed it to 5 minutes. Not really a problem since we have the APU and don't really idle but it was good to figure out what the problem was.
Later Monday evening we got a load. Picking up in Joplin,MO and delivering in Geneva,IL. We didn't have much choice but to get a load straight to Chicago after we had the work done on the truck because we wouldn't have had time to get a load somewhere else and then get back to Chicago. We ended up here a day early. Got to Geneva Tuesday night, dropped that trailer and then spent the night in their parking lot and headed out the next morning. We did some running around and checked into the hotel a day early.
Yesterday we also took Smokey to the Vet to have them look at a bump under his chin. I was worried because we had a Rottweiller (Harley) die from cancer so I was concerned. While we were at the Vets, and because we will be here for a few days, we went ahead and left him there so they could take away his manhood today. It felt really wierd not having him with us last night. Today we have to pick Justin's girlfriend up from the airport and then we should be able to pick Smokey up from the Vet on our way back. He is going to be all drugged up and probably not happy. Poor thing. But hopefully this will tame him down a little bit. It needed to be done, but I just hate to put him through that!
More to come later!!
