Today I really felt my age. I arrived at the shipper about 9:30AM local after leaving Fort Worth at 3:30AM. I went in to the shipping area and pulled the bill of lading that I thought was the right one. Well guess what, it was not. I hooked up to the trailer it called for, after having a problem with the shank being to high and over shooting the fifth wheel lock.
I solved that problem, then discovered I had the wrong trailer. Raising the landing gear on a fully loaded trailer is extremely hard. I managed to do this not once but twice. Being a 64 year old has been, I was on my last leg and it was not supporting me very well. Oh what a sight! I hurt all over!
OK, it is done now and I am en route to San Antonio. I must have been a Texan in another life because I can't get out of here. I guess that is not all bad. I could be caught in the snow storm around Iowa and South Dakota.
Remember the roads are dangerous and there are a lot of crazy people on them. Be safe.

Saw several Werner rigs on the road today. Don't know if there are more of them or if I just never noticed them before. Hey, no matter how bad Bed Rock was, at least you're not driving a brontosaurus.
