Memorial Day was this past Monday. While I did enjoy having an additional day off I hate starting my week off on a Tuesday. Tuesday is my worst day of the week. This Tuesday lived up to my expectations.
I got to my first stop (BJ's E. Rutherford, NJ) 0715 for a 0745 appointment. I was not given a door assignment until 1030, I did not leave for my second stop until 1130. Needless to say I was late for my 0930 in Linden, NJ. Out of there around 1300,
I made it to my third stop (Costco Lawrence, NY) by 1400 for a 1200 appointment. I took my break here again. The tide was out and rainy so no fishing either.
The rest of my week was the same old, same old.

The week of May18-23
Mon- No problems.
Tues.- I had four stops today one more than usual. My first stop was in Mt. Laural, NJ. If you have ever been on the New Jersey Turnpike or 295 in New Jersey you have been in Mt. Laural. Mt. Laural is where the bridge from a U.S. navy ship can been seen from those roads. It looks odd because the is no water to speak of and it is just the bridge of the ship. The first three stops went well, I even made to Lawrence, NY 45 minutes early. When I pulled in and saw four other trucks waiting I knew I was in trouble. Did not get a door until an hour and a half after my appointment time. So I went fishing. I caught one Sea Robin. After unloading I realized I would not have enough hours to make back to Elkton, so I stayed in Lawrence to take my break. I fished some more and caught 6 more sea robins, and a 20 inch stripper. Of the five people fishing there I was the only one that caught anything.
Wed.- I had to drive back to Elkton from Lawrence. I dropped off my empty trailer and picked up my loading going to Connecticut, and Mass. and drive back up the turnpike. When I did get to my break I slept the whole time.
Thurs.- Once I got back to Elkton I was off the rest of the day.
Fri.- My normal 3 stops near Boston. I got to the rest stop on I-84 in Conn. and went fly fishing. I finally caught a small Brook trout on a fly.

Quickly becoming my fishing blog
What a good week I had. Tuesday I got to my third stop very early, no second stop, they said that they could not take me before my appointment. So I went fishing. I caught one small stripper about 12 inches. That was all I had to show for three hours of fishing but still a very good time. Also anytime I can get into and out of New York without problems I am very happy.
Wednesday I made my two stops and stopped at a spot to take my break that I have been scouting out for awhile. I fished the Connecticut river for a little bit with no luck but that is ok.
Off most of Thursday. Madalynn and went fishing at a pond near our house. She caught 10 blue gills and I caught 1 very small large mouth bass.
Friday, I was held up very long at my third stop but still made it back the pilot in Sturbridge, Mass. I caught 10 blue gills, 5 crappies, 2 large mouth bass, 1 yellow perch, and a pickeral, I also caught the very rare and very elusive cb antenna cable.

Latest installment
When I set this up I had hopes of updating at the very least weekly, then that turned into bi-weekly, and then monthly. I am going to try to update it at least quarterly. I have more pictures to add but don't have them here today day to do so.
Well, since my last update a lot has gone on. March did come in like a lion and out like a lamb. I am still on the same account doing mostly the same route, but I love what I do. I have most recently been bitten by the fishing bug. I now carry a small rod and some tackle in my truck and try to take my breaks someplace where I can fish. The rest stop on I-84 in Willington, CT is a great spot. The stream that runs behind it is great with lots of trout the only problem is it is fly fish only. I am learning to fly fish now. The Pilot in Strubridge, MA is another of my favorite places to fish. I have caught a large mouth bass, a blue gill, and a northern pike here. I love watching peoples reaction when you get out of the truck with your fishing tackle. Some are like why did I not think of that, others are like you have that much time on your hands to fish you should be making money. I look at it this way I have ten hours to kill I might as well do something.
