June 1-6

This week was a good week.

Mon.- I had another driver ride with me today, to learn how we throw the tires. He got to see my customer service skills first hand. I know the tire center guy and the auditor well and always crack jokes on and with these guys. So I am sure the other driver was thinking I was lacking in customer service. Pedro, the tire guy, actually gave me a couple of fishing poles he did not need or want anymore.

Tues.- No E. Rutherford (yeah!) I barley stopped at Linden the only had a few tires. I made it to Lawrence early. I was taken a little late and did not get back to Elkton until 1700. Later then I would like but should not be late for my Wed. trip. At least I am not staying in Lawrence tonight.

Wed.- No problems as always today. I slept almost my whole break.

Thurs.- I am normally off on Thursdays but filled in today for someone. 3 stops, Conshehocken, PA, Princeton, NJ, and Fairless Hills, PA. All went well.

Fri.- In and out of 3 stops with no problems. I did not have my waders with me so I did not fly fish.
I stopped at the Pilot in Sturbridge, MA to take my break and fish. I caught two small yellow perch and one good size large mouth bass.

Sat.- On the way back down to Elkton I remembered that it was National Guard weekend for my old unit, 166th Airlift wing New Castle, DE., so I thought it would be funny to stop and fish at a pond at the entrance to my old base as everyone was arriving for drill. It did have the desired effect. I caught two little large mouth bass and one that was very large but was unable to land him, as I went to pick him up out of the water he shook the hook out and swam away.
