What a blast we had! Jason Aldean was fantastic and the fair broke a record that night for the most attended night in history. Found out a bunch of our friends were there as well too through Facebook...who knew? Toby Keith rocked it out the following night was a smaller, older crowd...which was good cause I'm getting too old for these back to back concerts anymore! We were smart this year and booked a room at the Hilton Homewood Suites, what a beautiful hotel. We had a full kitchen and breakfast..a real breakfast, was served every morning, on real plates and coffee cups and glasses for juice...no paper products for this locale. I would definitely stay at one of these locations again. They do take pets, but the pet fee is a bit pricey... $75, it was explained to me the reasoning behind it, most people stay there for weeks at a time...however an over nighter or two doesn't get a different rate. Most of you that know me have a pretty good idea that I sent a suggestion to corporate on that one...whether it goes any further who knows?
We are back on the road again and since Monday have hit the Wamsutter, WY store Cedar City, UT and Vegas. Ran across the Hoover damn and took highway 93 down to Phoenix to load, beautiful drive. We are now heading to Port Huemene in Cali to load and then drop at the Barstow location....that means some In-N-Out for me tonight for dinner, yum.
For the first time in over a year we have a microwave back in the truck and our built in refrigerator is the bomb. We got our truck all set up over the weekend and it is nice and homey. London is settling in and last night after my shift, which we have settled on 10 am to 10 pm for me, I watched a movie on our built in 22" tv...Casino Royale while traveling down the road is comical, lots of action and shooting.
Its almost time for my shift to begin here in Cali so I need to make my coffee and get ready to roll. This job is working out great. I love being paid by the day and not by the mile, it makes life so much less stressful.
