Bounce

Couldn't make delivery of the baffles by 12:00 noon in Rodeo, so we stopped in Reno and got Collin's cap installed in his mouth, then went up to Boomtown to play a little. Collin played various machines while I played the BlackJack tables. Might have come close to breaking even. Had a nice dinner in the Steakhouse and drank for free while we gambled. Nice evening.

Delivered baffles to ConocoPhillips in Rodeo, CA. Got there at 7:30, got sent to the wrong area of the refinery, and it took an hour to sort that out. Then they were unloading another truck and having a time getting the stuff off. Collin was able to help them get things figured out.

Then drove to All Weather in Vacaville, CA to pick up panels bound for Heber, UT.

After we delivered the panels to Miro Industries job site in Heber, Utah (near Salt Lake), we had the day to spend, waiting for midnight to pick up our load of salt out of North American Salt Co in Little Mountain, Utah, bound for Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Indiana, so we did our audit of April's logbook pages while at a Denny's, then picked up some new tarps at Sharps Tarps, and I upgraded the air card to a MiFi hotspot.
Then we drove out to Little Mountain to see if we could get loaded early. We did, and we were loaded and gone by 10:00pm. Found out we could deliver these on Sunday, which frees us up to pick up a load from Chicago first thing Monday morning.
