Best Laid Plans . . . . . .

We have passed through El Paso twice in the last few days, but, alas, could not stop. We made our trip to Rancho Cucamonga, then heading east, we passed through El Paso at 2 am on our way to pick up a load in Freeport, TX, which strangely enough, was scheduled to deliver on Monday in Commerce, CA. We didn't think Jen & Jake would appreciate the 2 am visit. So, here we go again, heading west, passing through El Paso on Sunday afternoon, but having no time to spare because we were supposed to be in Commerce on Monday morning. We arrive at our destination in Commerce (a sub of LA) and lo and behold, the customer cannot take the load because their tank is full. "You come back tomorrow," they say with a Spanish accent. So here we sit in a Ramada Inn in Commerce, CA, still loaded and waiting to deliver tomorrow. We will have to pass through El Paso again heading east sometime Wednesday, so we shall see how things work out for our visit with the boys. Meantime, we play the waiting around game, which mostly involves watching TV and eating snacks from the machines in the lobby.
