Woke up in the motel room again. Walked outside and looked at the mountains and thought about their beauty...What a place to be struck I thought. Just took it easy through the morning. Toward the end of the morning hours, I dropped my trailer to drive over to the tire store. I talked to the manager and he said that 1 PM would be fine. The Provo store manager then called the Orem(Utah) store manager and asked, for me, if I could deliver the tires to them after I finished in Provo. That manager said YES. So I delivered these two stores this afternoon. My third drop I will be at early in the AM as they are a bit of a challenge to back off the street. After the first two loads were off, I went back to the motel room and went back to the buffet restaurant and “filled” my tank! Got logbooks caught up-logging these drops- and watched TV until I fell asleep. Set my alarm for 3 AM (4 AM Utah Time) so I come get am early start tomorrow.
SECOND 5 YEARS: (too many flies)
I picked up meat loads at a meat plant in Nebraska that just made me question the brain power of upper management. In the trailer holding yard were old trailers broken down, trailers that had blood dripping out of them and the guard house had several hanging fly catchers with a lot of flies stuck to them. When we had to wait for the our meat loads, the flies would sit on our windshields and side windows in black masses. I had one truck driver come up to my tractor to ask me an important. I didn't want to open my window but I did and let in many flies. I asked the guards at the guard shack why they don't take care of all the flies? They said that management didn't want the sprays hurting the meat quality. With the crap these flies come from, I would think they might cause the meat problems as they can't help coming in contact with the meat...
