Trucker Gets A Holiday

We had James home for the weekend once again this last weekend. It was even better in that Johanna had made up a large batch of cabbage rolls and brought them over for our Friday supper. They were just delicious. But then I normally like the 'rolls' no matter who makes em.

Today James did head back out to Saskatoon to pick up his truck. He was going to get a load into Alberta (not sure whether it was Edmonton or Calgary) and then return on Tuesday.

The bad news is effective midnight Tuesday, the truck is off the road as it has some repairs that need to be fixed before James can take it out once again. When he brought the truck back at the end of last week, it had to go in for it's safety check. At this point in time there is no estimated time that it will get fixed. I would hope that the boss would like to get the truck fixed up so he can get it back out on the road though. When the truck is sitting idle there is no money coming in. However, I'm thinking James wouldn't mind a week or so off though so he can assist Johanna getting moved into her new quarters.

The downside of course is that no miles, no payment of wages for James. So I don't imagine he'll want to sit idle for too long.
