    Pretty rough couple of days with Mt. Hood and Stevens Pass but got her done.

    Well my second quarter miles is pretty #### stellar as they should be with the lack of home time. Miles per day didn't vary that much from the first quarter.

    Well the 4000 mile week ain't extinct yet. Sitting at 4009 miles now and whatever it is to the truck stop if these ####### ever finish unloading me.

    Well going to be a real long week. Rolling up to cottage Grove, MN and then picking up a load into Billings and Bozeman, Mt and finishing in Boise. Left Arkansas today and made it to exit 61 i-35 in Missouri. Joplin was an ice sheet but got a little better the closer I got to KC. Can't decide whether to roll across South Dakota or North Dakota. The SD dot site is pretty useless.

    12/18-12/21 Cottage Grove, MN -- Billings, MT -- Bozeman, MT -- Boise, ID --- 1600ish miles

    The trip up to Cottage Grove wasn't nearly as bad as I expected and the roads westward up to now have been in real good shape. Shut her down tonight in Beach, ND and hoping to knock out both of my Montana drops tomorrow and finish this thing up in Boise on Wednesday afternoon or early Thursday morning.

    Keeping on keeping on I suppose. Weather pretty fantastic today leaving LIttle America and ending up in N. Platte, NE. Hoping to keep dodging most of the bad weather for a while. Looking to be another solid week with a new trip for me to Costco near Detroit. Will be able to pass through my mom's in Arkansas on Christmas afternoon so that is good. Unfortunately the revenue office and DMV won't be working like me on Monday so my plans there are squashed until another trip through the land of opportunity. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season.

    1/3-1/5 Galesburg, MI -- Lebanon, IN -- Farmers Branch, TX -- 1150ish miles

    Running strong lately. Did take New Years Eve off at the house which was nice but hit the road early the next day. On a multistop 4 dropper ending in Galesburg, MI tomorrow and then rolling back to Lebanon, IN to pick up Wednesday morning for a drop/hook back in Texas on Thursday. Got my name on the board last week for this coming Thursday so hopefully will have a wide variety of loads to choose from. They pushed my miles out for my PM so still in my regular truck but will surely have to get a loaner on the way back through. Somewhat figured a way around the extra time on these loads which is helping.
