After doing the little 516 mile trip last night to deliver a load ... I made it to bed about 2:00 a.m. Got up at 7 ... puttered in the shop ... then headed out for DAV about 9:30 a.m. ... got a call on my cell phone from the school district asking me to ride with one of their drivers this afternoon so I could substitute for her on Thursday. Okay. Worked from 10 - 1 at DAV helping 2 people with their claims paperwork. The wife left a message to pick up some things at WalMart on the way home. Walked in the door ... gave her the food ... the turned around and left to go for the bus ride.
When we got to the school they were moving one of the busses out of the line-up ... some problem with the driver collapsing or being in a bad way. The superintendent said, "Grab that rider and have him drive the route." So, as the ambulance took away the lady who was driving the bus ... I had kids climbing on and was trying to figure out what to do. We picked up from a Middle School, an Elementary School, and then a High School. At which point I had to depend on the kids to tell me how to get them home. The last 3 were just 1st-graders giving me directions down a dirt road and to a trailer park to get them home. It worked! Other than me being a little stressed, the Principal wanting the camera tape to review (I have no idea where it is or how to get it out), and the Superintendent saying,
"Keep driving the route until further notice."
The lady had nausea, chest pains, and a numb arm ...
Yes, it's been raining off-and-on for the last couple of days.
And I'll have to be up about 5:00 a.m. tomorrow
to get the bus, do a pre-trip inspection, and pick up the first kid at the far end of the county at 6:25 a.m.
