September 24, 2007 - Monday


So I left the hotel this morning and got back to the OC in a fairly well rested good mood. I came in immediately and talked with my manager (we call them DBL's) about some pay stuff and time off stuff and then went out to the truck to settle back in. I started her up and cooled her off while I put away my things and then figured I'd go locate my loaded trailer and at least get hooked up before I grabbed a quick lunch.

I drove around the whole lot looking at every trailer here. My load was no where to be found. So I come back in the OC and asked for a location of the trailer. The guy still hadn't made it out of Ohio apparently as of 11 am this morning. That was the last update shown in the system. Sooo... I went back to my DBL in a slight rage... not too bad of one just really frustrated.

I'm still sitting here two and a half hours later waiting for info. They're going to either try to get ahold of the guy with the load and find out when he plans on getting here or just assign me to another load. I don't care... I just wanna get rolling again. I'm tired of just sitting. I don't make any money sitting around in the OC all day playing on the internet. Although, I am at least going to make Layover pay which is like $80 I think....

So anywho... I will sit here and wait and wait some more and then eventually I'm going to demand some free stuff or another nite at the hotel. *sigh*

Wish me luck....

You can really tell it's nearly a full moon huh???

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
