Wow! Blinding ... I walk out of the bathroom at the hotel and BB has opened the shades and the sun is just at ground level.

As usual, our breakfast is at Mels. Some of the staff is same as before (we are getting to know the staff at some of these places)

When I filled last, my fuel range was a few miles short of my drop, by this AM it is about 10 miles past my drop. Not enough on a 80 gallon tank on something I have never driven before. Just before my range gets down to 50 miles I pull off for fuel in Emigrant Gap at a Shell and put in 5 gallons.

Another hour down the road and we are in Roseville ... CA. We stop at a shopping mall about a mile from where the RV repair shop is and start making calls. I was on the phone for over an hour before I got the OK to deliver as is. The good news about being able to deliver is I will get paid today. If it goes to a shop and I leave it there, I wouldn't get paid until the RV is delivered to the final customer.

We fuel in West Sacramento at the Chevron and are next in line at the drop.

We have to park on the street, but the check-in man gives us a wave as soon as he sees us so he knows we are here.

Today they check us in right on the street. We walk inside to wait while they check us over. Once all the paperwork is signed BB calls for a ride to the rental car place. They pick us up in about a half hour. Once we have our car we go back to almost the drop to 'our' In-n-Out' burger place for lunch.

Once we are done eating we head down to Livermore to wait until 5 pm for a bus. We do our usual walk around the outlet center then sit and wait for time to pass.

I talked to the normal dispatcher on Friday, he gave me the name and number of the person doing his job this week while he is on vacation. I had called her then and left a message. I had also called a few times today and left another message. After 5 pm I leave another message. At this point we start driving by the building and we can see her car but she still doesn't answer the phone or call back. Finally about 6:30 I decide to see if the security guard will let us in, he does. So we go and talk to her. I am 'not on the list.' I don't ask her who's list or anymore questions. From the unanswered phone to our conversation I realize there will be no work this time.

It shouldn't have been, but it was kind of a surprise we hadn't prepared for. No backup plan.

BB quickly finds a cheap car for $50 a day and a motel for the night.

We get up north of Sacramento before 9 pm. BB had eaten at McD's while we were waiting for the bus, I was still not hungry then but knew I needed to eat something tonight. I go through the Arbey's in the parking lot of the Comfort Inn.

Comfort Inn is where we stay. Huge place, lots of parking. This will work for RV's if we ever need to ... like in the winter if we want to get over Donners Pass before it closes.
