SURPRISING NEWS

I seemed to have forgotten to take my camera charger with me when I got back on the truck a few weeks ago, and now my battery is dead. I do have a simple back up camera, but it does not inspire me to photograph like my good camera does, but I'll give it my best shot.

I thought it was time for a change, so I cut most of my hair off. I can't say that I totally like it yet, still getting used to the new look, but I can say, I don't miss all that hair around my face during the hot months of summer, and let me tell you, 100+ degress is hot, but as we like to say here, it's a dry heat.

Ed McMahan, Farrah Fawcett, and now Michael Jackson. WOW.... two of them we knew their time was near, but Michael Jackson? Who would have guessed. All I can say is WOW.

Craig made his delivery of the transformers Tuesday afternoon, and the business requested that he take an empty dry van with him when he left. We think that probably wasn't expected by dispatch, as he ended up sitting for over 34 hours, before he took over a produce load in Brooks, OR and delivered it this morning at the Safeway DC in Clackamas. Good news is that he has fresh hours and is well rested.

Shortly after going empty he was given his next assignment to go head to Hermiston, OR to pick up a load of frozen french fries to take to Long Beach. There is plenty of time on this load, and it looks like Craig will be there a good two days prior to delivery, so chances are he will either swap out the load on his way down south, or end up dropping the load at one of the Company yards.

I'm trying to stay cool in the Central Valley of California, and now glued to the TV watching all the coverage of the death of Michael Jackson.....again...WOW!
