Another day of watching the load board.
We did have some morning excitement. At some point BB noticed out the kitchen window that there was a truck on our cul de sac. So I headed out to ask them what they needed. Ended up bringing out a shovel, and ice pick and some sand. The snow is well frozen and hard to chop so it took a while.
Before I got out there the person was under the trailer with their ice scraper trying to chip at the ice. It ended up taking 3-4 tries before they finally got going. the trailer tires were climbing the inside pile of snow from the cul de sac.
I was out there but quickly tired. I've been limiting myself to about a half hour with the snow but today I was out about four times that and most of that just watching.
At some point I landed on my knees on the ice, it is mostly solid ice after the recent rains. I was holding either the pick or the shovel at the time so I didn't go 'face first.' And no soreness.
I see that later in the day that the city has come through and put down sand on the ice.
Because of our pine trees, in front of our house is about the only place on the street that still has ice.
Nothing new on the load board until closer to noon. Lots of pairs now that the load board is about 50. There was one CA run early and then one more at the end of the day going to the same place but they were each grabbed within the hour.
We looked at going to the northwest but there forecast for a two day snow storm on the passes that we can't beat.
There briefly was two FL trips but we were hoping for something better. Lots of math and looking at the weather.
As of now ... Thursday evening ... we will grab two RV's going to OH and leave on Saturday. We could wait and see what happens. And if it is like this past week, nothing happens and we sit home another week. Weekend.
The OH are not our best trips but we do make money on them. But they are short enough that we make more money deadheading home instead of taking a 2nd leg. Which has also been more math.
