Ace OR 3 Broken Tractors

Well, what a week it's been.

Friday, Doreen had a her first test in A&P 2. She checked her grade on-line later that afternoon and found that she had a very high score.

Monday when she went to class - the teacher told them that two students in the class had correctly answered ALL the questions on the test, hench having the perfect score.

Of course, Doreen was one. She wasn't sure who the other one was.

Since she's been back to school - this is the first time she had a perfect score without any extra credit questions, or a question or two being thrown out because it was confusing.

She was perfect on this one. I am SO proud of her. Homeschooling Joelle, being a stay at home Mom and a student and doing so awesome in school herself. She is just Maaaaavellloouuuusssss!!!

It's was weird at work this week. I took three trips. One to Ohio, One to Lousianna and one to North Carolina.

On each trip, I arrived at work a bit early to get the tractor hooked up to the trailer and get the rollers loaded up so we can get going when my partner shows up and get the trip under way.

On each trip - the tractor assigned had to be replaced by a 2nd tractor. On the OH trip - we loaded up and drove out of the lot, then realzed the Super 10 transmission was skipping the even gears. So we could shift 1,3,5,7,9 - we couldn't get into 10th gear, the big hole, and really get rolling. So we had to turn around and ended up swapping tractors. The 2nd was in the shop sandwiched between 2 other tractors and all 3 had no oil in them and it would have been an hour before they could have gotten to ours and get it done. Then the third was in the shop with a drive train problems and wasn't getting parts until that evening. So we ended up swapping out those two tractors.

It is just odd - because I had to get assigned a different tractor than orginally assigned on ALL three of my trips this week. It's not odd to have to swap out one tractor - but three? What in the world is going on??!!!

Guess on all three of those trips - we weren't meant to leave at the dispatch time for some reason or another! Who knows!

Hey - have a GREAT weekend!!
