Life Day 21915: Corraled in Corinne

July 13, 2007 on 10:52 am | In On The Road |

Today, I’m going to open with a trivia question. There are 10 (ten) body parts that consist of only 3 (three) letters. What are they? E-mail your answer to me if you are of the mind.
While I’m on the subject of trivia, today is the 60th anniversary of the day I was wrought upon this world. I jokingly say that it is the 21 anniversary of my 39th birthday. At any rate, i’ll be spending most of it loitering around the terminal in Corinne. They couldn’t get a load to Las Vegas for me yesterday so that I could celebrate properly. All of the loads going to Vegas had a “backhaul” , which means that I would have to return immediately to Corinne and not take any time off. I do have a PrePlan to Las Vegas now, but it won’t pick up until after 1800, so I won’t get to spend even a small part of my birthday there. Oh well, it would have been nice, but it is of no consequence that I didn’t make it. At my age, it’s better not to keep track anyway. The math gets too hard.
Since my return from Cody, WY on the 4th, I have been to Grand Junction, CO (twice) and Great Falls, MT. I’ve also done numerous “local” deliveries. They keep you busy either way, but I, naturally, prefer the longer runs. No loads are more than 1200 miles (one day driving there and the next driving back), which is nice.

Later:
I went to the Walmart in Perry, UT and bought a pint of vanilla ice-cream and a raspberry swirl loaf cake with whipped cream frosting drizzled with chocolate. I consumed all of the ice-cream and about 2/3 of the cake. A hearty and nutritious birthday dinner if there ever was one. The rest of the cake I took in for the office staff to finish.
It is now 1700 and my load just came out. I’ll be finished with the load about 0400. Then i’ll take a nap. Then it’s PARTY TIME!!!!!
