EC's Going For It

Mistakes were made today. Nothing serious but I got randomly asked if I would to a pickup in Upper Marlboro MD after delivery to Fisherville VA while on my way to the former. I said yes not giving it much thought because we go there from Bridgewater VA on a regular basis.

Dumb dumb me didnt factor in the extra mileage from Fisherville. It's about 28 miles extra each direction so you're adding about an hour.

Maybe not a huge deal but when I got off I66 it was a crawl almost the entire stretch of I495. PLUS 301 was backed up.

I66 wasn't too bad except for a stretch of downpour with us all going 40mph with our hazards on.

Then coming back, there was a wreck on US50 that was piling up and shortly after I got through had it entirely shut down.

I270 was busy as always as well. Fortunately, I70 and I81 were problem free.

I thought for sure I was sleeping in the truck tonight.

I mean I kinda bought it for that, but I dont have any food in it. I thought I was just doing the Fisherville and back, so I didn't even bring a lunch. I stopped at Sheetz and got a couple hot dogs.

The day wasn't completely bad. Those hot dogs were 2 for a buck. No extra charge for the ketchup, mustard, and onions.

More mistakes were made. But it kinda worked out.

I was doing short turns to Utz Hanover PA. Empty from our yard there and a preload back.

I usually run through Gettysburg and use 116 because its a direct shot. But 116 was shut down by fire police right at US15. There was some kind of accident or something. I stopped and asked him. He was super nice but wasn't sure exactly what or where but it sounded bad. He recommended I run 15 back up to US30 and I agreed.

Anyways, turns out 116 which is Main St through McSherrystown is also closed until July and I had no idea. So it would have been even more complicated to get around if that accident didn't stop me first.

I did a second one right after and took 30 all the way to Cross Keys and down 94.
