There will be no bottle big enough for this Genie, or three wishes granted. In fact, Major Nelson was no where around when we loaded this Genie Z60 onto our trailer, although strangely the 
theme to that wonderful 60‘s sitcom was running through my head. Our assignment was to take the Genie from the company yard to, yes, my favorite place (insert sarcasm here) Canada. Now, don’t get me wrong. It’s not Canada per se that I don’t like going to, it’s the paperwork and Customs procedures that can sometimes, well, be a royal pain in the butt. But, this time, since the paperwork was all at the yard, our dispatcher Katie had already gotten the paperwork all in order and faxed it to the Broker.
We waited until Saturday morning, to load, but we were not alone. A little storm decided to join us while we went to work chaining down the Genie. Thankfully our rain gear kept us mostly dry and in a short time we were headed down I90 towards our first fuel stop.
Our drop Tuesday morning in Canada is just across the border in Winnipeg, Manitoba, just a short drive from Fargo, North Dakota where we are staying tonight . Word has it when we deliver the Genie we will be directed to go to one of three boat plants in Minnesota to pick up some boats. Until we know for sure, I’ll be making like Barbara Eden, arms crossed and doing a little magic of my own to ensure we have a hassle free border crossing with Customs.
