What do you know, it's on time. (Patreon)

So, I logged in to find out I have two new Patrons, thank you very much for your support.

This week has been good. The coolant leak has finally been fixed, although that ended up stressing out the scheduler. Even though I'd sent them more than one message telling them I had a significant leak (By the time I reached the yard i was adding a gallon of water every 3 hours or so). He still put me on a rush load going to Atlanta. Well, he had to deal with it. Once the shop found the leak they weren't letting my truck go. they were actually amazed I made it there without the pipe exploding.

The shop managed to do the repairs that evening, and I was able to get on the road in the morning. I made it to Atlanta on time, although that was it's own fun. The numbering system on the road where the customer was located went up and down, making it difficult to find them, and then I had to back to their dock with very little maneuvering room.

Because the scheduler pays a lot of attention to what's happening, he gave me a pickup I couldn't do, so they had to cancel it. The one they found me after that was extremely tight on time, but I managed to get there 30 minuted before the appointment time. Only to find out the product wasn't ready. It took them 4 hours to load my trailer. Such are the joys of trucking.

This morning I watched Survivor.  A thriller staring Milla Jovovich, and with Pierce Brosnan as the main villain. I'll admit I bought it because 1) it was discounted and 2) Pierce is in it. I'm a fan of his, ever since discovering him way back when on Remington Steel. I did think he would be the main character (I didn't really do more than glance at the synopsis) But I wasn't disappointed.

It's a fun movie, It's relatively straight forward, with the one exception that they don't bother throwing twists after twists. You quickly know who the players are, and where they stand. If you've watched many thriller, it's somewhat predictable, but that didn't take away form the enjoyment.

My rating? I would have bought the DVD full price.

On the writing front.

I took a break from Family Troubles, The last few chapters last week required a lot of work to get out. I think it's such a dark story that I needed to work on something a little lighter. So I went back to the Orr Family Chronicles, and wrote something that I don't think has any actually Adult parts in it, although it is definitely for a mature audience

It's a new story featuring Patrick, and it follows him on a job now that he's working for Royal Security. It's 15,000 words, and I completed it in a week. Which pleases me since it confirms I can do it.

On the editing front.

Chapter 3 and 4 of Tristan are edited. when it's recompiled 3 will be merged with Chapter 2. It also required a bit more work than I thought. on top of what the editor pointed out, a friend noted that it felt like in one part Tristan wasn't using the most efficient route available, so I have to add information explaining why it actually was.

And now I'm tired. See you all next week
