Back to hobbies ... and Life

Finally got a decent photo of our black pug. He's a beut! He has to think about things alot before dealing with them. He has to sniff and sniff and sniff on a spot and think about what it all means. While the boston terrier would just take a quick sniff and head out looking for things to eat or things to chase. The collar he wears has lots of spikes on it ... just to keep Sheba from chewing on it or using it to pull him around.

Delivery Appointment

Ha! Ha! You'll love this ...

I arrived in Jacksonville, FL last night for my usual Thursday morning delivery. This morning they tell me I am NOT on the schedule ... inside, I hear that I was supposed to have been here yesterday morning (Wednesday). NOT POSSIBLE.

I had a pick up on Tuesday morning at 0800 a.m. I arrived and checked in at 0745 ... they finished loading at 1018 ... and I got my paperwork at 1045. I drove for 3.75 hours before stopping for half an hour to fuel, get a sandwich, and go to the bathroom. I then drove for 6.25 hours to lower Alabama (657 miles total for the day) ... arriving at 2130/ 9:30 p.m. ... that leaves only 15 minutes of driving time out of the 30 minutes of work time left for that day. Add the 10-hr sleep period ... takes us to 0730 a.m. Central time on Wednesday. It takes an additioonal 5 hours to drive to Jacksonville, FL ... arriving NLT 1230 p.m. (1:30 p.m. Eastern) ... which is about 2 hours too late to deliver on Wednesday. Who in their right mind scheduled that appointment for Wednesday? ... someone who thought I have a 100 mph truck and there are no speed limits on the highways?
