Plan was to be up and ready by the time both the shop and the bus company were open. We were, but everyday while we are on the road we need to do an AM check call. So everyday I get a text comfirming my call. Today that text and a text from the bus company came in at the same time and because I knew what the text was, I didn't look at it right away.

Then the bus text was 'had I delivered yet.' Finally about an hour later I got a call to update my status. At this point I was told to take the bus to a Rush Truck Center about five miles away.

I could have called, but I thought they may be more likely to work on it if I was sitting in there drive. They weren't. Yes they could work on it, but it would be next week. At that point I called the bus company back and they started looking for other places. It didn't seem like working with a Ma n Pa shop was something they were interested in.

An hour later I got the call to take it to another Rush location here in San Antonio about 10 miles away. THEY would be able to work on it this week (vs next week.) And when I asked about leaving the bus ... no ... no ... no.

We got to the bus place about 10 AM and they said they might be able to look at it by the afternoon. I checked with dispatch and all they want to know is my location. Next we called a motel, and they were fine with us checking in as soon as we could walk there.

This place does not give rides so we walked it. It's only about a half mile so we lightened our load so we only had two carry bags.

There is a little cafe a block away so that was lunch. The front desk told us about a pizza truck so that is the plan for supper. Cafezino, it's in a small house, you have a choice of about a dozen menu items. People were having their little two people meetings over their computers. Food was good. I had a meatball sandwich and BB had something else.

We spend another afternoon on the computer until about 5 pm. Then I call the shop back and they did not get a chance to work on it today but they did sound very certain they would be able to work on it tomorrow.

Pizza truck was supposed to be in a parking lot by 5 PM. We get there and no truck, so I look it up on the web and it said open 5 PM ... THURSDAY. Missed that before, they are only there four days a week. We decide not to eat at the cafe again and come back to our room and order Papa John's. Today it only took an hour to get our pizza. We ordered a large and ate half, the rest may be for tomorrow.

Travel site has been down all day, can't find anything online. Hopefully it comes back up. And if it does I will be grabbing all my old files and moving them here.

Work called looking for drivers. Board is not that busy but I thinking they want them moved before the holidays. That was our plan, this was not.

There were a couple of interesting runs out of TX again but nothing we could commit to.
