Running Time: 51:37.5 + 1-Lap Kick
Just finding a place to run on the way back to my daughter’s house, after a day of visiting account in the SLC area. We are moving here in a month, and my road trip has multiple purposes. 1 – I am on a full week sales trip through Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana. 2 – I am driving my wife’s car, and I will leave it at my daughter’s and fly home at the end of the week. 3 – I transported most of my wife’s houseplants, along with most of my vinyl, and a few other boxes that would fit into the Accord.
On the way from Oregon to Utah, through Idaho, I came up behind a tractor/trailer that had an open roof trailer with tall sides. I could see the hooves of a dead cow handing over the top edge of one of the sides. The trailer, which was probably 30′ long, was full of dead cows, and it smelled like it. That can’t be an acceptable way to transport cow corpses, even in Idaho.
Jake at Rocky Mountain Wrecker Sales in SLC had some blunt but fair criticism for us. He is not happy with the way our company has been operating, but that is one of the reasons I was brought on in May – to help turn the ship around. It’s a big ship, though. The turn will be long, wide, and slow.
When we move here next month, we are moving in with our daughter, her husband, and their 10-month old daughter. They have a full basement with 3 bedrooms and a bathroom, so that will be our new home. I’m looking forward to the change, and to the adventure, and to spending time with my daughter and my granddaughter. And flying out of SLC for sales trips will be easier than flying out of Portland.
