From here to no where. We still don't have a run.

Mostly staying on our time, eating breakfast as soon as it is supposed to open. We were down before the hot food was out.

Not sure what happened here, but sometime last year we were here and most rooms were NA because they were being remodeled. Now they are remodeling again, so I asked when I checked out. All they would say was last year they did some major cleaning 'but that wasn't enough' so now they are doing a complete remodel.

We just hung around all morning until check out, looked at the board a few times to see if my RV from yesterday showed back up. It didn't.

When we went to check out, we couldn't find our car keys, neither one of us had them or could remember having them. Then ... FRIDGE ... I had put them in the fridge so we wouldn't forget our food :) We didn't forget it this time.

Checked out and headed down to change the rental on our car from one way to local. Makes it about half the price. Did get it for two more days so we don't need to head back tonight if there isn't work.

The only cemetery on I-5 close is down by Santa Nella an hour south. We got to town about noon and ate at Andersons Split Pea Soup. We've eaten here a couple of times. Last time I was able to get my Swedish Meatballs on noodles instead of ??? rice? This time I went for the chicken salad sandwich and BB had the tuna salad sandwich. Mine had enough lettuce for a salad, but I am trying to stay away from the green stuff.

Before we started eating I called the bus dispatcher, he wanted to know if I could do a local, CA move. Four of them, then wondered if BB could do one. After a couple of minutes I realized he was not talking about buses but trucks. More details to the story but I told him I would call him back in an hour ... after we were done eating. We talked about it and the more we did, the less it sounded like a good idea. 450 miles down through LA, BB would follow in the car if we were going to make any money. That would take me out of moving a bus today ... or tomorrow. And if anything happened ... it's a used truck ... maybe not get back for a bus Friday. And we want to be heading home Friday, either with a bus or a rental car. So I called him back and said no.

Then we headed the few miles out to the cemetery. Looks to be fairly new ... now I've looked it up. A rancher donated the land in 1989, so a few years after that. Only two graves to find, very easy at the national cemeteries. We walked from one end to the other and it took less than a half hour. Hot sun, no shade. Then we drove to the top of the hill where the turn around and the flag were. This is the 1st place we saw a bee ... then we saw the hives heading back to town.

After fueling we decided to just wait in town until we heard if there was work. So we parked behind the Quality Inn in the shade. A (honey?) bee flew into the car, and we got it out ... and a few more times. I didn't want to kill it. Finally when it flew back in it landed on BB ... she didn't like it ... and screamed as she jumped out of the car and tried to get it off her without touching it. By now she wanted it killed. By the time I got over to her it had flown away and we got back in the car, windows up. It kept buzzing around the car so we drove away ... it followed us for a bit but after a couple of blocks at higher speeds we pulled back into the place we had eaten and sat un-disturbed there.

Until 3 PM when I could call the dispatcher back. Phone was busy and I got a text. So we texted, no work. Only four buses today (Normal might be about 10 a day.) And he is giving the buses to those who have been sitting the longest. So to the motel we go. If that is all the buses he had today he should have had an problem finding a driver for the trucks.

More later tonight.
