I made it all the way back to OKC Friday afternoon. I was lolly gagging across Missouri and wondering what time I was supposed to meet the other driver and then got a message that I was to meet him by 4:00 Friday. It was 1130 Friday morning and I knew I had 250 miles to go.
I was at a rest area getting ready to take a nap ( remember I thought we were meeting Sat) and I was planning to go to the casino in OKC/KS/MO Friday afternoon and getting into OKC about 1300. Little wrinkle there. I ran to the potty and hit the road.
I followed that with a call to the Funny Lady and hit the road and didn't stop until I got there at 1530. Teresa hit the road about 1330 and we met right at 1530. Since I got in a day early we went back to Ponca City and stayed until 1900 Saturday night. Then we drove down and spent the night in the truck to catch a 0600 flight to Idaho.
We spent 3 days with my Mom, son and aunt. Great time. Scott's got a cute boy - 3 in Jan.
Teresa spent some time showing my Mom how to put together 3 new quilt tops ( Teresa had cut them out before we went). Mom says she's making good progress. Teresa also gave Scott's fiance Jennie one. She's a pretty busy lady, we'll see.
We arrived from Idaho at 1100 and headed for the truck. At 200 they sent a message, not a work assignment mind you, to "head towards Hutchinson, KS and they would send the w/a while we were enroute." We got there about 1800 and started to settle in. At 2000 the w/a came in to go 50 miles to Wichita and pick up a trailer at 2300. I said nope, no-can-do. I can go back in the morning. Left at 0430 and got back to Hutchinson by 0700. We picked up 43,000 of Morton salt and are taking it to Grand Saline, TX. We are now in OKC, showered and fueled and ready to go tomorrow.
