Hope you all had a great day! I was already on the road embarking on 230 mile round trip over the river and through the woods trek to my brother's new abode at 7:30AM yesterday. Traffic was almost non-existent the whole outbound side. Wasn't bad coming home either until I decided to stop at my sister's home on the way back. After spending an hour or so there, the interstate was crushed with traffic once I resumed my trek. It was moving along pretty well, however 70 MPH, at night in heavy traffic, can get down right scary at my age, considering I don't drive at night much any more. So, I'm more than little out of practice.
To top it off, after leaving my sister's home, I ran over the already dead body of a coyote or small deer in the middle lane. It appeared on the roadway so fast that I couldn't really identify it, other than as a light brown furry thing. I couldn't avoid it either as it covered about a quarter of the lane with other travelers on both sides of me. Guy behind me, who was right on my tail pipe, had to have hit it too and probably many others. I imagine, after an hour or so, the corpse must have been ground to a pulp.
Got called into work at 6:30 AM to fix an air dryer, done about 9 am. Called back out to the same station at 5:30 pm because there was a station ESD. Blew lots of nat gas into the sky. Got everything straightened out and station back online at about 1 AM. All triple-time because it was a holiday. Unfortunately, the gap mid day made it possible to go to the outlaws house for Thanksgiving - they are crazies
Right back atcha!
