Entries this day: Truck plate

Truck

7pm Tuesday 6 June 2000

While on the way home, I saw a 22-wheeler loaded with a big huge yellow beam thing that I recognized to be part of the new bridge being built over 59.

(Whoah! I just looked for some pics of the bridges, but I can't find them! I was sure I had scanned some... Hmmmm.)

So I talked to the guy a bit - he said they had come in from Grand Junction, Colorado. Wow.

As I was driving home, I recognized how different his life must be from mine.

I drove by to see the truck again, and met a woman (his wife?) in the small escort truck. She gave some more details of the trip. The big yellow thing weighs about 120,000 lbs, and the trip from Grand Junction is 1300 miles. (I think that's what she said (I had written down the number on my Handspring, but lost it with a Ctrl-C))

plate

10:30pm Wednesday 7 June 2000

After work I painted Kevin's plate at The Mad Potter. It's almost finished; I just need to fill in the "RED SOX" with red on the bottom. The design is a Boston Red Sox logo, but instead of "BOSTON", it says "ALL MY" because Kevin is a Red Sox and All My Children fan.

Wende met me there and we zipped over to Miyako's sushi restaurant to say HI to Amanda, who got a job in North Carolina or something. We didn't stay long but chated a bit standing outside the private table thing.
