Last night had a lot of rain and thunderstorms.  That made the place where I load a big muddy mess. Went over first thing this morning and loaded another hub that is going to the same place as all the others, Goff, KS.  Almost got stuck in the mud a couple times.

Since I'm flying out of here Monday I didn't leave there with it.  Went over to a parking area and dropped the trailer there.  Then went to the Love's truck stop for the weekend.  I'll go back Monday and attach to my trailer before I go to the airport.

Left Salina at 4 am and drove down to the Kenworth dealer in Dodge City.  Was there when they opened.  They took my truck into the shop and fixed the "Check Engine" light.  It was a sensor in the pollution crap in the exhaust.  Left there and went to the Thermo King shop to get my APU fixed.  Much to my surprise he was just finishing up a truck.  Put me in the shop and fixed the APU.  The blower fan was totally shot.  He replaced it and checked out the system.  Could not believe that I got both done today.  That almost never happens!!!!  Left there and drove to a truck stop in Garden City.  I'll go over and load tomorrow morning.

Went in to unload this morning.  Was empty and back on the road at 1:15 CDT.  Heading to the Kenworth dealer in Dodge City to get the "Check Engine" light taken care of.  Stopped for the night at the Petro in Salina.

Drove the rest of the way back to the Sac & Fox.  My home away from home!  There were 2 other hubs already here waiting.  They had been there for four days.  Bad sign!!  I settled in and took a nap.  When I woke up they were gone.  Good sign!!  Hopefully I will go in tomorrow.  There is a lot of other stuff here waiting to go in too.  Only time will tell.  On a different note, my APU A/C fan still doesn't work, so I have to idle the truck.  Today another gremlin popped up - my "Check Engine" light came on.  Hopefully I'll get empty tomorrow so I can get these things fixed before I fly home next week.

Was over to load at 7 am today.  They weren't as busy today as they were the other day.  Didn't take long for them to bring me back to where my hub was sitting waiting.  A little while later they came over and loaded another hub on my trailer.  Fortunately it wasn't very windy this morning.  How exciting!!  Another hub!!!!

Left there in pretty good time.  Drove to the Petro in Salina.  Had to have a mud flap repaired on the trailer.  Shop took me right in and fixed it.  Then I parked for the night.  Wasn't able to beat the Topeka curfew.  The fan on my APU air conditioner quit working tonight.  Have to idle the truck.  It's always something!!!!
