Mid-August
Two-a-days foot ball practice at two different schools.
School starting for the boys on two different days
I missed the first day of my son’s Senior year
And I’ll miss the first day of the other’s Freshman year
Why does work travel pick up about the same time
As life starts to accelerate?
I did get out to ride with the Platte River Riders
on Wednesday
And this time made it to the trail
But two miles from home
The unreliable truck started to sputter.
I gave ‘er hell and got about a half mile from home
Before having to pull over.
Once again had to unload Windy
And ride her home.
She is calling foul!
I had a refrigerator put in my gooseneck trailer
It was done today and no way to go get it.
Good friends to the rescue.
Someday I’ll devote a post to everything I have been through
With that stupid truck.
But I just need it fixed.
Now.
Spent a couple days outside Denver a couple days ago.
Next week Chicago.
It’s been awhile since I did much travel for work.
I’m out of practice.
Home feels good.
So sorry to hear about your truck troubles! That is never fun.
ReplyDeleteSounds busy and frustrating. At least you were able to ride Windy home. Hope things calm down soon.
ReplyDeleteBut that was so great you could actually ride home! How cool is that?
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of work do you do that you're traveling to Chicago?
What kind of articles are you writing for that magazine? Essays like you write here?
