    Yes I did... my first stop put me 30min behind,but my next stop lets drivers unload. I was able to get out of there in 30min, so I wasn’t late for my last stop.

    Loaded up and going to camp here until tonight. They have a nascar race in Nashville today and I have to go right by there.
    Almost saw a bad wreck coming out of Memphis yesterday. Traffic was stopping and a LP tanker locked it down to get stopped. A Freightliner was coming in too hot to be able to stop. Luckily traffic started moving and the tanker grabbed a couple gears.

    So looks like I'll be out of trucking for the next 6 months to a year. Thought I was having bad acid reflux. But got to a point where I was dehydrated and severely cramping. Called 911 just west of Albuquerque, NM. They got me hydrated and my potassium back up. But did a CT scan also. Found a 6cm mass. This was on Sunday. Turns out I have pancreatic cancer. Reflux was caused by the blockage. Seems to not have spread. However, need 6 months of chemo to shrink it. Before they can remove it. Using the Whipple surgery.

    I walked thru a huge park last Sunday and went to a big pavillion where there were lots of bars, and restaurants, and stages, shows, mini markets selling food and typical art and craft from northeast of Brasil and other things... It was a fun day but the pollen attacked my allergy... It will take a few days for my nose and throat to go back to normal.
    Random pictures from last Sunday...

    Got home yesterday and taking off until after the 4th. I’m hoping to find enough motivation and hours in the day to get caught up on everything. I started at 3am and I’m already running behind :confused:
