Late this afternoon I finally got a call from dispatch. They'd found me a load out of here. Tomorrow I have to go down to Hollywood, FL to pick up some rails heading for Ohio.

I'd hoped for something that gets me closer to the yard, but it's a start. I just hope I don't wind up sitting too long in Ohio when I get there.

Well at least when I return home again (around Christmas), it'll be to a clean house. All this extra time at home gave me a chance to get fully rested and I even managed to give the place a good cleaning instead of the "lick and a promise" it usually gets.

All my gear is already packed in the truck so in the morning all I have to do is have some coffee, grab the food I plan to take with me, my knitting pack, and head out the door.

They'd had a half inch of snow today when I talked to dispatch, and she said it was still coming down. As much as I need the money I am not looking forward to getting back into that damn cold weather.

Ah well, it's a living (usually), and since I'm flat broke I guess I need to get out there and do it.
