Weird Week

 It's been a weird week so far. Monday was okay, except that my boss kept moving me around from job to job, to send me where I am needed the most. Tuesday was very strange. Everything was going smoothly until I got pulled over by a State trooper for a routine truck inspection. Everything checked out except I had a low tire. And the tire was just a little bit low. But it was enough to send me to the shop to have the tire replaced. Imagine that! Replacing a tire just because it's little bit low on air.

And not just one tire. Snyder fleet solutions came to the shop and replaced both tires of the tandem. Drivers side rear rear. In all actuality, only one tire needed to be repaired. Not replaced! Just repaired. But, they ended up replacing both tires of the same tandem, with brand new tires. It doesn't make any sense to me, but it's not my money. And so, after waiting at the shop for about an hour, they finally finished it, and I went back to work.

Brad asked me if I did a walk around inspection of the vehicle in the morning before I started off. I said yes! And I kicked all the tires and they were fine. Shit happens. I probably just picked up nail. He said, yeah, I just needed to ask. I said okay. And so, I finished out the day, hauling asphalt, and everything went smoothly from there. 

Now, it is Wednesday morning. I am at the new plant and waiting to get loaded with asphalt for Adam, going to highway 82 in Coker. Everything should run smoothly today, without any complications. But only time will tell. But, that's just the way life is. Everything seems uneventful, until shit happens. And then it really puts a toll on my psyche. But, I am trying to learn how to deal with that and overcome it. At the very least, manage it better. At the most, I won't let it phase me at all. But, with everything else, it's just going to take more time.
