Well, today I'm in the great state of Iowa, yay! I'm at my first drop off. I tell you, I gotta get here early. My traffic coordinator does not understand this, but this place gets full. It's a very small parking lot. And it wasn't really designed or meant for trucks. I got a 53-foot trailer today. So if I get here before the installers show up, I can get in fairly easy. I got to do a blind side back and there's all kinds of stuff around but it's tight but I can usually get it one shot and I sit here and wait for them to show up which is about I don't know probably another 20 minutes from now but uh so I do that and then she put me on the second drop the guy doesn't even open up to nine o'clock and uh he won't be there any earlier so I'm going to skip him and do a different drop instead. I don't really get that many drops today and it looks like tomorrow I might not be working at all because usually the warehouse is packed solid with freight and there's nothing there. When I got there at two o'clock this morning it was just almost empty so it's just fine. I was going to take Wednesday, Thursday, Friday off and I might I'd just be taking Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to Friday. I got to get myself acclimated for retirement when I probably call it quits, and this is a good way of doing it. You know, the short runs here and there, and then, you know, taking off, you know, five, 10 days and dying. November, Quebec, November. I reset. All-star node 6222. Located in Shelton, Ohio. You know, just to get myself in the mood and kind of ease myself into every time, right? So that's what's going on. I had a good weekend, did a lot of leaf removal. My back is sore as hell today. You know, I'm hoping my wife says, you know, we don't either want us going to go up on the roof and clean out the gutters. My wife is 65, I'm going to be 62 pretty soon. And that's a big no-no. My daughter, she's a social worker slash nurse, And she says, during this time of year, they get so many people with broken arms, legs, shoulders, hips that are in our age group because they try to get the leaves out of the damn gutter, right? So she called some family members that actually have a grass cutting, leaf removal type thing. And she comes down, she goes, $100 to get it all done. I said, well, that's not bad. But I thought they were talking about going up the roof and doing the gutters no it was just they're talking about the leaves on the ground right well no i do that every year i'm more than capable gives me some exercise that kind of thing reset but they're only you know 19 years old 20 years old and they won't even go up on the roof uh but they want a hundred dollars this bad now if they would have said 200 just to go up on the roof to clean off please i would have said fine no problem go for it you know but that ain't gonna happened. However, a friend of mine who gave me a power washer a few years back, a really nice one, I was telling him the story and he has extensions for this power washer that you reach up 30 feet in the air and it has kind of a an empties and you just stick it up in there in the gutter and your power washer all the way down and it blows all these leaves out and cleans it all up so i think that's what i'll do this year probably probably uh this week actually uh on thursday or friday before the family gets here anyways i think i've spoken about oh uh keep me on the list but if i don't answer it's because i'm i'm making a delivery and i'm too busy to do it and just pass it over until the next time, okay?
