The day from H-E double hockeysticks and we HATE ice!!

My van is still stuck in the back of the house (hopefully with all the melting today, I might be able to move it by tomorrow), so needless to say Tony still had to haul the kids and I over to Grandma's and then take me to work. The machines in the production plant are still giving us tons of problems, the bottle filler is still only about 1/3 working (I won't even say 1/2 way, it is worse than 1/2!), and then the separator broke!! This equipment only needs to last like 2 more weeks, this is ridiculous!! Thank goodness the guys who are working on the installation might be able to get the new separator up and running later today!

On top of that, one of our milk trucks got stuck in a driveway in Mt Airy and originally Ronnie went down and got him unstuck and on his way...well, while the guys were sitting at lunch they noticed a milk truck coming up the road, this is odd to have a driver home so early in the day, and then they realized it was the driver that Ronnie had pulled out earlier that morning...he QUIT, said he was tired of all the ice and was not doing it anymore, this is the same driver mind you that gave up on the D.C. route a few weeks back, geesh! So now we are short a driver and an office person!

Tony and Ronnie are splitting the route today and then Tony will be on the route truck tommorrow and Ronnie will be doing deliveries the rest of this week!

Since Tony was not around to take the kids and I back home from the creamery this afternoon I decided I would rather walk it home than try to driver home and then come back down to the farm to get Tony when he gets home later, so we walked (or I should say tried to walk!) the driveway was pretty trecherous in places, we never fell down but it was close a number of times! Sophia and I decided we hate ice!!
