So I did that group order of BBQ pellets that I organized with some guys. A 1.2 ton pallet so they were shipped via trucking company. The shipping got all jacked up with that blizzardgeddon we were hit by and delayed eta every day for a week. Shipping company was adamant they didn't deliver Saturdays. I had the address going to a business that I have hookups with that had a loading area and forklifts. Anyway tracking says it was delivered yesterday and Bill of Lading was available for electronic view and signed by some name none of us knows. The business was closed yesterday, no one there all day. Any idea what in the world this place may have done with our order? I've got a large sum of money tied up in these since I took all the risk and paid for the load not letting the others pay me until we received them.

Someone intercepted your pallet, it sounds like. That sucks. Can you cancel payment?

Wouldn't panic too much yet. Your delivery receipt could've just been accidently signed for other freight. There may be a chance they ran some freight out on Saturday to try and catch up on all the extra freight they have piling up. Driver could've left it there and forged a signature. (I've done that before. Not saying it's right, but I've done it.) but I'd damn sure be on the phone first thing tomorrow, wanting to know where the hell my freight is.

Wasn't R&L Carriers, was it?

I don't see how it couldn't be some paperwork error or at another business maybe waiting to contact us tomorrow. Someone needed a forklift to get it off. I don't know how else you'd get a 1.2 ton pallet off a truck. I peeked around a nearby trailer park and didn't see anything lol. Lots of other businesses around and theyre all honest ones that I know of. We'll see what comes about tomorrow.

poor glow's heart, such a stressful day until the result
Not that stressful ... well ... yeah, it was! The game was grueling for me and all I did was sit there with some pizza and yell at all the players!

The best part is that it's over and the Broncos have won!!!!!! Great way for Manning to go out (if he does decide to retire) and it was a wonderful tribute to Pat Bowlen. He is the owner of the Broncos and he is in very bad health with Alzheimer's. Very bittersweet moment when Elway held the trophy up and yelled "this one's for PAT!!".

Cam Newton is an excellent quarterback. No question. But his arrogance has made enemies for him. I felt sad for him. All I could think of was the old stuff about hubris. The Gods of football smacked him down for his hubris and he was served a huge slice of humble pie. I think it will only serve to make him a better quarterback in the long run. He is a MONSTER athlete and able to dominate with his skills. Our defense handed him his ass on a platter. Bet that never happens again to him.

Where is Glow?

Looks like her Broncos are gonna get it done!!
I watched the second half with mom and the first half with hubs and Dennis at our house. No decent internet signal with mom so I couldn't share the slings, arrows and angst of the game with y'all. Now I have to get to sleep quickly so I can "turn and burn". Need to be at the truck by about 0600 tomorrow so I can get it fueled, DEF filled etc., hook to a trailer and head to Colorado Springs for a load of dairy products that will deliver Tuesday in Dallas, TX. I am tired. Up before 0300 today to get the load of milk bottles in to Meadow Gold, home for the festivities and a bit of sleep in my own bed.

Good morning, everyone!!!

WTG, Broncos!!! Just for you Glow!!! TBH, I only watched the first half.........then I went to bed and watched a few more episodes of TWD.

Shane........I hope you find your pallet......That stinks!

Dan.........I got ALL of my papers checked by halftime of the SuperBowl. You can now sleep easy! LOL


I think I jinxed our snow days..........Another doozy is headed our way from tonight through Wednesday. 6"-12" are expected. That's nothing if it takes 2 1/2 days to come down......but, if it drops fast........I'm going to lose my Easter Snow Day. :-(

Have a good Monday, peeps!

I plan to buy directly from Apple and take advantage of their 18 month no interest. I looked at Best Buy but theirs only have 8 gb of RAM available and I need at least 16 for my artwork. I'm looking at an iMac, not a laptop.
