I made my delivery this morning and then picked up some crane parts before returning to the yard. I picked up my paycheck and was very happy with the amount. That California trip really bumped it up so that it was easily double my normal check.
I rushed to the bank so as to get there before it closed. While I was there I bought a VISA gift card. I then called the store in Florida where I purchased my laptop and made the final $541.96 payment. It's now all mine. Getting it paid off within six months knocked about $1,000 off the total price.
I am now sitting in the Applybys next door to the hotel where I rented a room for the night. I'm enjoying a few cold beers and will enjoy a nice dinner in a little while before heading back to relax for the night. Tomorrow I will will have my truck serviced before striking out for Memphis with a fire truck.
Yep, another oversized load. Man I hope I don't run into permit problems this time. Well, at least I won't have to deal with Georgia this time.
With a pocket full of cash I can think of a lot of things I need to buy or would like to buy, but I think I'll settle for stocking up on road groceries and keep the rest stashed away. I'm still thinking about saving up for a car and this would make a nice start on that.
I may buy a new pair of jeans though, I have one pair that has the beginnings of a hole in them.
