    Hopefully by Sunday or Monday I feel well enough to get back on the road. This unplanned "vacation" has grown old and I'm seriously ready to get back to work.

    Yup. Back to beating the pavement in the AM. Emailing Tim when mommy6 drops me off at the truck on her way to work. I'm sure it will be a deadhead to the yard, but sometimes we do pick up about an hour from my house. On another note.....THE RAVENS WON!
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    Sitting at the motel up the street from the terminal. Been here since noon yesterday. I'll leave out tomorrow. I've been dealing with this cold/flu since New Years eve in Cheyenne. I have a good start with miles this pay period so sitting in the motel will serve two purposes, get a grip on this cold and reset my hours. I left the house a week ago Saturday night and from then until yesterday I've run 4625 miles. I'm wore out and run down. Battling a cold while on the road is a useless endeavor. Two nightss in the motel should help. I did get a phone call this morning from Safety asking if I needed anything, pretty cool gesture on their part. Going back to bed to watch a marathon of Dog the Bounty Hunter. What a day this is going to be...oh boy.
