Well, that was an interesting day...
- Got in to discover that I had only four stops, all in Fremont. But...
- There was a five pallet order going to a plant in Woodland, which is located right between Hell and Gone.
- No biggie, I'd been there before. I had a GPS, my iPod, and a Giants day game to keep me company.
- Right after passing through Cordelia truck scales, I get a call.. since I'm "close by" could i make a pick-up in Vallejo?
- This is an interesting definition of close by. The two stops are 60 miles apart.
- But hey, it's what they pay me for.
- Get to the vendor, pick up my one box of washers (to be fair, they were big structural washers, not something you can get at Home Depot) got to start the truck...
- ..and get nothing. The starter turns over, but the engine isn't catching.
- Read The Ophiuchi Hotline for 45 minutes, checking on the Giants game occasionally.
- Mechanic shows up, sprays something right into the intake as I crank the engine, and the beast starts right up.
- Here's how my day looked.
- The Giants game was just bizarre.
- Dropped off a couple of boxes of books with Goodwill, and they will allegedly come and get the furniture we don't want. Must check into that.
- Did a little more triage on the book shelves. My goal is to be able to get everything - books, DVDs, CDs, games - onto the 3.5 bookshelves we currently own.
- I'm picking the Netherlands in the World Cup final.
- Along with everything else we need to do this weekend, we need to do a recycling run.
- A coworker has given us a lead on a new place.
