    I was from the Atlantic Ave exit to the service plaza at Lake Worth Rd. But when I was getting off the exit with my car I saw another Calex truck going north right there. How are you Larry? I stopped at Kenly Wednesday about 4pm for fuel, shower and a truck wash.

    JohnBoy,
    Doing OK, just got a real decent raise, so I am very happy in that respact. Taking the next 10 days vacation, so I am very happy in that respect. They have been running me pretty good, so I can use a break, I havent taking any time off in about 14 months.

    How have you been doing? Are you still doing that same account? I was in Kenly 3 times this week, one was unplanned, but I sat in the door for 11 hours, and didnt feel much like driving so I sat there all night, load was still on time, but as I told you, they give me alot of leeway on my deliveries. I have been told that my trips to miami are going to slow down, so I will be doing much more to Brownsville, and Laredo.

    Well, have yourself a great weekend, and take care of yourself.

    Larry

    Not yet. It's having a new radiator put in it. It came out of the paint shop Thursday, had all new decals put on it, plus all the other work has been completed. The president of the company called me yesterday to let me know that when I get in on Tuesday night it will be sitting there waiting on me and ready to roll. Pictures will be posted next week.

    Enjoy your time off. The wife and I are counting down the days for our 11 night cruise on December 31st. All work and no play is not healthy!

    I spent the morning taking most of my stuff out of my truck. I will be up in Pittston Tuesday about 6pm. I rather come back home with my new truck and set up house here instead of up there. I can't believe the amount of things I had. All I do is leave out Sunday night/Monday morning, and get home Thursday night/Friday morning, gone 4 days and I had enough clothes to go to Alaska and back. I took out my inverter and cables, fridge and most everything else I own. I'll be the first to say, I'm going to miss this truck. I can't believe how clean it is. The reality of it is that it won't be taken care of like I did.

    I'm leaving about 8pm. I have a drop and hook in Griffin Ga at 2pm tomorrow. The load goes to Jersey but I'm taking it to the yard for one of the local guys to deliver. Be safe all, god Bless!

    just finished my 5th trip to CA and back. I asked to take an extended weekend in southern PA for a wedding and ended up getting most of the week off instead. Delivered my load to Weis yesterday and have pu in Lancaster tomorrow for load that goes to CA for next Thurs. So I guess someone is trying to keep me happy so I don't leave. Its nice to have half a week after I barely made it from OK to CA and back to PA on my 70. Was nice to have dinner with John and Tom at Petro last night.
