Today was interesting. This pulled up.



Turns out they are from Florida, had a load of FROZEN food and FLOWERS... *facepalm* Well of couse Wal-Mart refused the load because the load is frozen and ruined! Apparently they have another store's order in there to and are currently going through the load to see if anything is good still... Well when the refer went by it said 62F on it. So I am assuming that the frozen food load is no longer frozen... and all the flowers have froze at one point. Oh and only one of them speaks english. I dont know what they were talking back and forth in but i have never heard it before!

So I'm betting that they were in heated discussion about who's fault it was and who gets to throw the stuff out of the van by hand ... Florida to minus frickin chillly Saskatchewan (and Alberta)...

so what's the bet, a temp swing of 50 degrees?

they ended up throwing out everything. 3 stores worth of potted plants and frozen food... doesnt take rocket appliances to figure out that you cannot free plants and you have to keep frozen meat frozen... should have been 2 different loads.

Well they left the other day and well my office is full to the roof with plants lol. Salvage guy went through and checked what was still good lol. He said no where there was any meat so i dunno what the woman was going on about? maybe her english not that good.

so what happened. the boxes at front of trailer fell against vents for heater. blocked the air flow and so warm air didnt get to the back of the trailer and it froze about half the load. guy said that the leaves would just break off if touched!

These were not quite "at work" but close enough lol

hard to tell where the road edges are under a even layer of snow. NOTE how many wheels are under that trailer :P

Martin - ya figured something was wrong. hadnt moved in awhile. on sunday there was a man lift out there and they were welding on the main boom to.

new scales are here but the office is "rented out" apparently. I dunno why they dont buy one but probably the mines is paying for the new office.
