...and thanks to Bob Poole for the Dunkin' Donuts and coffee! And thanks again, Jesus!
12:25 p.m. Cleaning the case. Third bundle. Two cased occupants. Two expresses (just made it!). Slushy roads. Gas tank 85% empty. Mounted route on trash day. Somedays you really earn your money! Thank you Jesus!
3:09 p.m. Wipers just quit. Supervisor instructed me to return to office for new truck.
3:54 p.m. Back on the street in spare #9. I started to get really wet and damp from being in the rain in my winter jacket when I moved the mail from my regular truck to the spare. After I got back on the street I had the thought that I might have accidentally yanked out the plug to the cord that powers the wipers, which means it may be an easy fix after all. But I am satisfied with how I handled the situation in the moment, especially since it gave me a credible reason for the overtime. Thank you, Jesus!
This strange looking thing is my improvised night shade, which I use when doing mounted routes after dark (which was necessary today). I take two PS-From 3982s and wrap them sideways around the dome light of the LLV, holding them in place with a rubber band around the edge of the housing. I get white light straight down on the mail on the table, while I get pinkish light reflecting on the inside of the glass. Of course, if I absolutely need to see out of the windows (when I’m driving rather than actually making deliveries), I just turn the light off. I do this because I believe I am preserving more of my night vision. (4:58 p.m.)Thank you Jesus, for ingenuity!
6:24 p.m. Finally back at the office! Made my last delivery at 6 p.m., about 15 minutes earlier than I expected. It means that the hour I took to switch trucks pretty much covers the O/T I used; hopefully they won’t give me grief about it tomorrow.
6:24 p.m. Found a penny, 1985! After all the chazarai (sp?) of today! Thank you, Jesus!
7:48 p.m. Two pennies from the cup at Liquor Locker, 1967 and 2007D. Thank you, Jesus!
