(#5848) I am looking forward to an eventful day

      There are planned protests in 50 states at 50 state capitols today. I had planned on being at mine here in Sacramento, California but work had asked me to participate in a drive to Nevada to pick up some vehicles and trailers. It is a first for me as a transfer driver here in California to go on an out of state transfer so I was somewhat eager to be part of the team. I was a little disappointed in not being at the capitol today at noon but as I need the extra money this opportunity provides it is necessary for me to be at work and not protesting the current administration of harm.
     There is one particular problem we are facing in this work assignment and that is the road conditions. We have been having quite a bit of rain these last several days and that affects snowfall at higher elevations. Like the elevation climb from here in the Sacramento Valley to the about 7 thousand foot height Reno inhabits. There are road closures on one of the highways and chain requirements at the moment on all routes available. The work will not go forward if chains are needed for all the vehicles we are transferring so with a dry day starting last night we are hoping the roads will dry up a bit and allow for us to travel them without having the chain requirement.
     As of a few minutes ago the chains are still required and in less than an hour and a half we will be meeting at the shop to begin our drive to Reno. A clear sunny day of about 48 degrees is predicted today in Reno so we may be able to complete our transfer from Reno today but it may have some hours delay. I am not sure if the powers that be will keep this schedule for today but it will be touch and go for the next few hours. I need to get ready to leave shortly so ending this blog post on a positive note is what I will do. If we don't go to Reno there is work in town I can do and if I get done before the protest at noon I will get myself there. A busy day today regardless of what process ends up being mine.
