A night in Limon,CO

We received a repower load from Lancaster,TX. I scaled out the load only to discover it was 2300 pounds over on the drive axles. Over all the weight was okay; however, it could not be adjusted any further. I was a little nervous, but company said role with it heavy. I wish I had checked the map first. I would have known the weight was okay for Colorado. Instead we wasted valuable time in Lancaster/Dallas area. I was unable to deliver the load today. We found someone who could repower it, so now I am delivering a load tomorrow in Aurora,CO. About 30 miles shorter, oh well, lessons learned.

In the analogy of children to fledglings in the nest, one often hears about the little one's leaving the nest. If you think of your fledglings as sparrows then if they fall out you encourage them to fly, you even risk your life to chase away the cat; however, ultimately it is up to the fledgling to fly. Moving that to eagles we are told they will lift the young up to get them to fly. The point? Which camp do I fall into with my own fledglings? Do I let them "fly," but when they fall only encourage them and attempt to keep somethings of the world off of them or do I rescue them from the perils of life? Sometimes that fine line must be done on an individual basis. Prayerfully I do not attempt to rescue the child that must run among the grass or let fall the child that needs to be lifted up.
