Not a work day.


But I did play with the ELD / Electronic Log Devise. Except it is not, there is some other name for the ones that are not hard wired to the trucks and that is what we use. The ones we can use are not tied to anything, not even reality. We can change times, cities reasons, anytime we want.


My issue at the moment is that I work for two companies. This program is tied to the federally issued DOT # that each carrier gets. Once we key in that number, we can not change anything about the carrier. Some drivers say they can, but I have seen both the drive version and the carrier version and it can't now be done.


I have an email in to the company that makes them, we'll see if I get a response.


And today I could go back and get my new cell phone. They were supposed to call or message me at 10 AM when they opened, they didn't. Finally about 11 AM I tried to call and was on hold for 15 minutes. I hung up. Still no contact I headed to the store at 11:45. They had the phone sitting on the counter waiting for me. It took another half hour today, and because they sold me what they could yesterday, I have to put the protective screen on my self.


BB ended up putting it on for me. After I delete what I can and hide or disable what I can I go out to mow and work in the garden.


I come back in an hour later and look at my phone which has been in my back pocket. Screen is broken. Back to the store I go.


Turns out it is the protective screen that is broken and I need to take care of that myself (sometime.)


BP has been WAY down the last two days, hopefully it stays there tomorrow AM and my BP can go up when I see the white coats and I will still be good.


Covid. Found out one person I knew who died last spring had covid. She was so bad with dementia that she hasn't known anyone for quite some time. She was in a nursing home and was 92. Another person we know that was 88 had it pretty bad but she recovered. I think she was living with her son who also had it and recovered. So the more people get it, the more likely to know someone who had it.


Load board

US - 261

IA - 109

MN - 5

WI - 8


Two runs from IA back to MN but my appointment is tomorrow. Also two runs to where we like to go in Davis CA. Three more to near LA and the two for Sandy OR are still out there. Also a lot of runs to the SE where near where we like to go. And lots to Canada if you want to earn a little extra.


The load board should stay near 100 for the rest of the month. Looks like we will miss the MN State Fair this year :( And yes, we will miss it.
