wow - I have been so busy the last month or so that I have not had a lot of time to post here -

been running my butt off all over..

between atlanta and philly and KC and chicago I hav spent a ton of time running freight...

I tend to like the fall and winter better - we slow down and I have time for hobbies and to work around the house. (and to relax more).

The wife has a corporate training in chicago next week so I will be running around...
