September 25 – well that was a waste of time. I slept right through the alarm. No damage done, though. Nothing significant to report. Just the usual morons holding steering wheels- one or two of them attached to 18 wheels. What the hell is so urgent about getting back into the granny lane? I can *kind of * understand it if you have a stack of cars and trucks behind you, but when it's just you and the guy you are passing?
Crossed Donner with no problems – even got green-lighted on the CA scales! Utah, I always have to stop. No idea. Maybe my pass isn't registered in Utah or something.
Arrived Sacramento 17:45 Denver time. Lots of parking at the Sacramento 49'er (yes, that's a pun)
Directions to my delivery tomorrow are ... Ambiguous. Mostly ok, very clear, but the last line or two are... WTF? Called and got recorded directions – slightly different from the ones provided by dispatch. Gonna call again in the morning while on the way and see if I can sort out what's REALLY supposed to happen.
Watched a little TV (whatever that NYC cop show is called) and had SHRIMP for dinner. Not a 4-star by any stretch of the imagination, but certainly not ruined.
Darnit, got the new inverter installed, and I'm missing the dad-burned video dongle. Gonna see if I can get to a radio shack some how. At least I have AC power on both sides of the truck now, so I don't get all tangled up when I go back and forth from the bunk.
Alarm is set for 05:00 tomorrow – that's 04:00 local time. Should give me time enough to go 50-60 miles to the consignee in the morning.
Updated spreadsheet, too, while I'm sitting here.
