Lazy and melancholy.

Had a lovely day with my Aunt and she and my Uncle brought me back to my truck that night. I picked up a load yesterday out of Denver but it doesn't deliver until Monday near Cleveland. It's only about a two day drive so I basically had time to kill. I ended up finishing a book and reading oodles of news stories on the internet. I should have worked out but I just don't care about that right now. I didn't even get enough sleep. Stayed up to late. Bleh

Waiting for food in North Platte, NE currently.

Must break out of this psychological malaise.

Visiting an Aunt and cousins

So my Aunt Susie lives just south of Colorado Springs in Pueblo. After dispatch told me I was off for the rest of the day I gave her a call to see what she was up to. I figured she would be working but it turns out she had the week off. After I had lunch at a Joe's crab shack she came and got me.

I ended up having dinner down at her place. I also got to see her 2 boys which was nice as I hadn't seen them since I was 13. Really nice to see them.

The next morning I was all about getting to my truck as soon as possible, but Colorado Springs was hit with a snowstorm so we were gonna be delayed some. I let my dispatcher know and she seemed fine with it. Then she called me back later to let me know I didn't have to load until tomorrow. So now I have a day to kill in Pueblo with my Aunt!

Colorado Springs...

Delivered in Colo. Springs. Got to use a liftgate at the destination which was lots of fun. Still had to lift heavy things. Not fun.

Thankfully the cust had 3 very able bodied guys to help. I'm about 5'9" and 165 lbs. I'm not the best guy to move heavy things.

The past three days have been, well, a lot of driving. 500+ miles yesterday, 650 miles Sun, and 689 miles Sat. I have a ton of pads to fold as you can see in the pic. I am also right next to Pike's Peak. A 14k ft mountain. So that's nice.

Hopefully dispatch keeps me running.

Ugghh...

I'm tired. Like dog tired. 680 miles from Boise to Laramie, WY. The last 80 miles or so sucked. Old man winter made another grab at me. Blowing snow, slick spots, all sorts of fun. My drive tires lost traction going up a hill so I stomped in my clutch to keep the rig straight.

Gah, last update I made was a while ago. I did make it to Boise that night. Then up to Seattle for a delivery and another pickup bound for VA. Wed I headed down to Portland. Thurs morn pickup bound for WI. 

I'm not delivering though, dropping the trailer in St Louis and grabbing a loaded trailer bound for Colorado Springs. Hence why I'm headed back the way I just came.

I don't feel 100% but I've started working out again. We'll see how that goes.
