Rocklin, CA to Davis, CA ... or not. Then to Livermore, CA.

Breakfast, not quite as much as yesterday, no bacon but they did have biscuits and gravy and maybe they did yesterday and I just didn't notice. Apple juice still wasn't working so I told today's help. They looked at it for a while but not sure if they got it fixed. It was full of juice but was putting out water. Still haven't gone back to eggs OR yogurt. Sometimes it is a late lunch on delivery day.

Got going at 9 AM west coast time. Very light traffic today. Only 5 cars at the first train station in the median, usually there are dozens if not 100's. It's Veterans Day.

Got to the Pilot/49er ... and my check engine icon came on. Fueled, restarted it a few times. Still on. We parked it at the 49er and took BB's to delivery. Can't deliver with any warning lights on and warranty work does not usually get done the same day. I thought I would just leave the RV in the RV section of the car lot. But the longer I sat there, the less I thought that was a good idea. Most of the RV's seemed to be being lived in. Parking here until they get kicked and them move to the next place. Lot's of them did come and go and they did not look any better. I parked in the back with trucks, they had an area too short for semi's which worked. I just need to be out in under four hours or I'd get charged $15.

10 miles down the road we are at delivery. When I called this location I was given two new contact names. But the guy doing the inspection has done them at their last four locations in the last three years. I think we were in and out in under an hour. As soon as him started on BB's, she walked to the rental car place a block down the street. He was done before she got back.

Once BB was back to the RV place, we loaded up and went back to the 49er where my RV was. Light still on.

I had looked at the 'best routes' on the computer and came up with my own. I prefer as few highway changes as possible and freeway, not city streets with oversized units. 14 miles back to the dealer. Not sure how that works for pay. This place was under construction and very congested. BB met me there and as soon as we had my stuff in the car she moved the car. Good thing, by the time I was ready to leave the was a line of cars parked in front of where she had been. I had been given a name for a contact when I arrived, I was no where near the office when I dropped the RV, but this guy walked out and said 'Hi' and covered the basic exchange of info.

As soon as I'm dropped I call the bus dispatcher. It's too early to know if there will be work, but he has eight drivers in motels already so I know I will be behind them. This is a fill in guy, first time I have dealt with him.

Both RV's dropped ... it's In-and-Out time in CA. There was one a half a block away ... two double doubles :)

We've got time to kill so we head to the closest cemetery. I'm pretty sure I have been there before and once we get there I know I have. The office can only find two of the names, but it is one name of each couple so I'm good. It also helps to LOOK AT ALL THE INFO ON THE MAPS. As I was wondering around, someone sitting by one of the graves came over to me. We talked for a bit and he got me in the right direction but it took a 2nd person to help me before I realized the info I had missed on the map.

The 1st guy that came over was from MN, his sister was born there ... and he thanked his Dad again for moving them to CA :) Today was Veterans Day and lots of people coming and going. Sounds like this is their thing. Him and his sister come and visit their Dad's grave on Veterans Day.

By now we decided not to visit a second cemetery, instead head down to Livermore. A few miles down the road but BB doesn't get it answered fast enough and it stops ringing. It was the bus dispatcher. We pull off at the next exit and call back, no answer no voice mail. So back on the road. A few minutes later he calls back and this time BB does pickup, no work today. At least we know that already and he called me and before 3 PM.

We decide to keep going to our usual spot. Rewards Points tonight as we are not working and 'our' motel is $150+ tonight.

We get to the Quality Inn in Livermore and it is under construction ... again. We were here last year once and they only had a few of the 30 rooms available. Not sure how many times they can re-do it.

After we get our paperwork sent in, we walk to a little Mexican place in a strip mall. We decide to split an entree, three chicken enchiladas. It was enough. And I found some of the juice I like so I bought three for the road. This place had two TV's on, both in Spanish. Food was good.

It's two hours to Yosemite (and two hours back) so I don't think we'll go there. There are lots of cemeteries within an hour that are on my list. First we will switch our rental car from a one way to a local. That saves us 50-75% sometimes.

... and if the timing and price is right, I might go back up and move the RV, as I don't get paid until it is delivered. Last time I did that I got about $30. This time I am 100+ miles away.
