Alone in San Antone


Hello from San Antonio, TX!
It is mostly sunny here, but there have been an occasional shower, this is what you get when the sun crosses paths with the showers. Pretty huh?
I delivered here this morning at 11:00AM. I was empty and received my next load information almost immediately. (Go Dispatch!!!) However, it does not pick up until tomorrow at 9:00AM CST. Yep, you guessed it, I am sitting here in a truck stop, (because there is no other place to park my truck and trailer), until 8:00AM, when I will then go and pick up my load that will take me to Indianapolis, IN for a Friday morning delivery. You might ask, "did you try to call and get loaded early?", and yes I did. They were unable to take me early because the load isn't ready and the appointment was set.


So here I sit...hum....mmmm...ok, so I thought this is why I would love to have unlimited funds. I could go and see the Alamo, get a hotel room with a pool, see a movie. The problem I run into is that I could do all those things, but it is difficult to get this truck and 53' trailer into a movie theatre or find parking at the Alamo and most motels don't have truck parking...(at least the ones I would go to...ie:Hyatt Regency, Holiday Inn Executive, you know, the top of the motel chains)


I decided to make some more jewelry for our web site and for the festival I am going to in September. I made 20 items in 6 hours. Now, mind you, I make earrings and if you take into consideration that each earring is made separately to make a pair, I didn't do too bad. I made 17 pairs of earrings. They are very pretty and I am proud to say that each one is an original, (in pairs of course).


Oh well...I can't do anymore of that today because my eyes are crossed. I will go into the truck stop and get some food then find a good movie and relax the rest of the evening. I deserve it. I worked hard today even if it wasn't driving this rig.


Until next time! Happy trails!!!
