Extra day off

My Breakfast

i phoned in yesterday afternoon to find out my next joband i was told i had a choice, my load was sat in Edmonton (10hrs round trip) so i could either go and get it myself or i could take another day off and someone else would bring it to Lethbridge for me. I hate it when i get those sort of choices coz on one hand i hate to lose money but on the other hand i have got stuff to do for the permenant residency.

Well im still sat at home so you can guess the choice i made. Tomorrow i am going to Elk Brooks, California, which is in a Southern suburb of Sacremento so my backload will more than likely be somewhere between Sacremento and Merced.

It not the longest run in the world so i think i will be able to relax a little on this one. Its a strange load though, its peat moss. ive got a strange feeling its crossing the border at Eastport Idaho but i am just guessing now. i hope so because i like that run and it also means i dont have to cross the Donner's (Donna's) Pass.

i was going to post an excerp giving an explanation of exactly what peat moss was but i fell asleep twice while reading it my self so i will spare you that one and give my own description below:

Its fertilizer

Okay thats enough about that, i had to do a bit of repair work on the garden fence yesterday, Gizmo found a weak bit and pulled a panel off and made a bid for freedom. The little toe rag must have planned it coz of the route he took. He got trough the fence into next doors and followed the fence so he didnt leave any paw prints in the snow. It was then out onto the road and the world was his oyster.

Well actually the next 3 or 4 blocks were his oyster coz he obviously got that far and decided there was nothing else to see in Raymond. We jumped in the car and found him 3 blocks away sat on the corner. It looked like his paws were cold too so he was soon returned to captivity.

Thats 3 times he's done that now, trouble is, after about an hour of freedom he gets bored and comes home anyway, sitting outside the front door and crying.
