Apparently I'm getting lazy...

Sometimes I just don't feel like writing. We left Florida and headed to Tennessee to get work done on the truck at our owner's house. We delivered our load to Alabama and immediately got another going to Mississippi...not exactly where we needed to go, but not way out of the way either. We accepted, had breakfast, got a nap and were just getting ready to pull out when the load cancelled. We headed to the other side of Birmingham to a truckstop with Idleaire and ended up spending the weekend. Monday afternoon, just when we were getting ready to deadhead to Tennessee and we got an offer to go to Fort Knox on a government load so we delayed the visit to TN by a day.






We got to Robert and Mary's house on Wednesday to find five other trucks there needing work. We got everything done and met some of the other drivers and then headed home. After a seven hour drive we were finally home. Dana had to renew his driver's license which meant he had to take the HazMat test again. We got Alex moved back to Athens and then Dana got his birthday present...a new tattoo. Here's a picture:



We then spent a lot of time cleaning the truck and getting all of the laundry done. My sincerest apologies to my aunt and uncles....we didn't make the trip north. We were exhausted and needed to catch up at home. We also spent some time with Dana's parents...we had a nice visit and dinner with them.

Tuesday brought a load offer, picking up near Pittsburgh and going to Cincinnati. We were taking the second half of the load and the other driver was four hours late getting there. It was so annoying. He actually went past the exit and was in Ohio before anyone noticed and got him to turn around. From there we went to Wright Patterson and waited for about 3 hours to find our next load wasn't going to make it that day so we hit a truck stop and returned the next morning. It took most of the day, but eventually we got loaded and headed to Indiana late that night to deliver the next morning. After unloading we headed right back to WPAFB to load again, this time going to California. So, now you are caught up....we are sitting in Albequerque trying to get a new fuel filter and are scheduled to deliver Monday morning.

Last time we were in CA, it took a week to get back out....let's hope it's not that long this time!
