The truck wasn't ready today. Surprise surprise.
I went and picked up a couple of things for "R", a military truck and a generator. When I got back to the yard "A" said something about he was going to pull the generator off right away. I just shrugged and walked off. I'd done enough free work for one day, I'd gotten rained on, and I was hungry. He knows me well enough to know that when I'm in that sort of mood it's best to just shut the hell up and let me go. I hope he had fun.
I returned to the hotel, washed up, and went to Applebee's for dinner and a few brews. When I got back here I enjoyed a nice hot shower and am now relaxing once again.
I hope like hell my truck is ready tomorrow morning or "R" will have no choice but to give my load to someone else. I would really like to get home.
Since I finally got the check from worker's comp today I am going to stop by Wally World tomorrow after I pick up my truck. I want to buy that folding bicycle I saw there. It'll be perfect for carrying in the truck and getting around on when I stop someplace. Now that they've paid me I know I can make my house payment at the end of this week so I can afford to get it.
If my truck isn't ready tomorrow and I don't get rolling under a load I'll have to hold on to my cash as I am not making anything just sitting around here.
