A fantastic end to a great week

Wow what a great way to finish a fantastic week. Me and Wolf took a steady run up to Lethbridge. Just before we got to the yard I said about going to the golf driving range for a laugh and it would give us something to do he said 'why the f--k not' lol (that’s Wolf for ya)

We got back to the yard at 2pm and dropped our trailers. Wolf’s job got changed he was going back out with another load....it will probably be 2-3 months before I see him again. I went off and did my washing and popped up to the bank to transfer some money from one account to the other, so much easier to do all this when you have a car.

I finished my washing and went back to the yard only to find Wolfs job had changed again so he was having a 36 hour reset as well but now he had to go and do his washing, we agreed to meet in the Lethbridge Lodge. As I was putting my washing a way a car pulled up behind me it was my friend Shona. She had just done her air brake test and was about to go back to her place when she spotted my car. I have not seen Shona for a couple of months and she's learning to drive a truck herself now.

I followed Shona back to her place so she could drop off her friends car and then we went to the Lethbridge Lodge. I went upstairs to shower and change and she went into the bar where there were 4 new H&R drivers. She knew them because she has just done the air brake test with them by the time I had showered and changed Wolf should have been at the hotel but he wasn't so me and Shona went to a Chinese buffet. We went back to see if Wolf was in the hotel but he wasn’t so I went up the yard to pick him up. He was watching a DVD so I dragged him down to the hotel there was me Shona Wolf and George (the big trip) and 4 of the new drivers we had such a laugh all night. 1 of the new drivers was an Irish lad, I think the best teller of Irish jokes is an Irish man....we were rolled up with laughter it was a great night.

Because I don’t drink and I have a car it was my job to drop them off so we dropped Shona off first then a new driver back to the Sandman then me and Wolf grabbed a pizza.

George always tells me there is nothing to do on your reset so the next day me Wolf Shona and George all went up to the golf driving range and whacked about a few balls. Me and George were killing ourselves laughing at Wolf (we say he has anger management problems lololol) he was whacking the balls so hard they were going out of sight lol I just think he was thinking of all them car drivers that had cut us up on the way back lol.

At the golf driving range they have a go-cart track as well so the 4 of us jumped on them for 20 laps it was great fun. We went back to the truck to pick up Wolf’s little dog because we were going for a walk by the river. Like a dim wit I said about a BBQ they have BBQ pits there so you just need food and some charcoal. Well the lot cost $60 so it would have been cheaper to go to Wendy’s at the top of the hill... never mind! Then we walked down by the river and saw a baby deer having a drink. Not far from us we saw a few people on what look liked big air beds just floating down the river it looked great fun but I would not of liked the walk back!

I have found out since you can go on a trip to this river where you jump on one of these big air beds that take up to 6 people, you float down river for about 10 miles then you get met at the other end where they have a big BBQ waiting for you. Shona will be finding out all about this so when my family come over for a week we can all do it together lol. We had such a great day out there are plenty of things to do on your reset if you can be bothered to get up and go and do them.

Well it was time to drop everyone off then I went back to the hotel and had a shower before bed. It was a tiring day. Wolf woke me up he had left some stuff in my car and wanted me to drop it off the next morning. I got up early to drop his stuff off to him and the bloody git was still asleep!! I went and did some shopping and got ready for my trip to Nebraska. I went and picked up Shona because she has no car I said she can use mine. Its sat in the yard just collecting dust so a quick trip into the insurance company to stick her name on it and take Mick’s name off. Then we had a bite to eat then off on to my next trip. This trip I will be able to add 2 new states to my list (thanks Wayne).
