HiWithAY here. Sorry, but I haven't updated in some time. I will try to be a little better at blogging. Lately I've been working on a new diet for my hubby, which consists of things that don't taste so well. NO salt, NO Sugar, low oxcalate foods (which is weird to me) and so far, so good. Mike and I have both lost weight.
We are still driving our dedicated route which consists of the following: We leave early Sunday evening from the Oklahoma yard, heading to our first stop which is Bradley, Illinois. Get there about 07:30 and they unload me by 0900 local time. Then I drive to the Chicago area, or West Aurora, Illinois. We usually get a purina load coming back from there and are home by Tuesday morning; We leave Tuesday afternoon and go to Elkhart, Indiana. Sometimes we get have Battle Creek which is in Michigan, on the rear and therefore, we have to leave the yard a little earlier due to the distance being farther out for the first stop, but most of the time it is just Elkhart alone. I really love the Elkhart Store; they are my favorite. Mary is the manager and she is a real kick; so much in fact that I enjoy buying the store bakery goods every week from the Amish bakery that is in the mall. She surprised me last week and called CalMar (the bakery) and told them to not charge me; that this was on them... How nice, huh? It's good making a good rapport with your customers! It usually pays off in the end--Oh, and by the way, I got a dozen freshly baked sugar free cookies (chocolate chip) right from the oven--nice and hot....Can't beat that, now can you. Now usually when we finish at Elkhart, we have store clean up, which usually consists of Kokomo, Lafayette, Michigan City, and sometimes, Mishawaka and that is our backhaul which gets us back home on Thursday morning; We leave Thursday afternoon about 1600 to head to Columbus, Indiana, which is another of my favorite stores--the last week, I took out some of the big construction cones (you know, the big fat orange ones); they have been doing some construction outside of the store parking lot and i Flattened one of them; found out another one was in front of my tandum tire, being pushed down the street; so I had to set the brakes, and get out and move the cone physically... Oh well, stuff happens... they never leave room to come out the exit--this week, I've decided to go out the same way I came in which is to turn around in the dock area which isn't that easy due to the cars parked in the back, but it makes more sense then to take out more of their prescious cones... when we finish at Columbus, Indiana, we usually have a RED Gold tomato back haul which gets us back into Oklahoma early saturday mornings--off work again til sunday evening, where it starts all over again....
