It's worth the drive...

On the way to our delivery Friday night we found a fantastic steakhouse. If you are ever in St. Louis, it's worth the drive to eat at Matt's Steakhouse in Rolla on I44. We had the best steaks of our lives. Seriously. And we met Matt. :)


After delivering early Saturday morning, we parked at a nearby truckstop and got some much needed sleep. By about 7 pm, we decided we probably weren't going out until Monday so we went across the street to a pool hall for a cold beverage and something to eat. We met a really nice truck driver who stops there often and has also eaten at Matt's! Not long after we got there we got a call to pick up a small load in Tulsa to take to American Airlines at the Dallas airport. So off we went! Four small boxes totalling 16 pounds of hazardous material. We didn't even dock the truck to load and unload!

Delivery in Dallas, a stop for a nap and we were off to Texarkana. They asked us to move there as there weren't any trucks and there were too many in Dallas. It was a beautiful sunny day and the drive was actually relaxing. There's not a lot of traffic on Sunday mornings. So...here we are waiting for a load to who knows where! It was so nice out today...sunny and about 50. We took the dogs out for a long walk and let them sniff each and every pile of doggy doo they found!

The TV lounge in the truckstop is full of guys watching the NFL playoffs. I've never seen one so full. We stayed in the truck and watched Monty Python's The Life of Brian, an old silent film, and are now watching an old Alfred Hitchcock. Seems we're too far out of any major cities to pick up any good TV. So, that's our day!
