    Always good to get home...enjoy!....I usually stay out three weeks...but am gonna start staying out 4.....make more money by staying out. I figure to reevaluate things after I get that "magical" one year in...in the mean time it is all about learning this game and what it is gonna take to make a living at it

    I am sure it is hard to be away from the little one.....you young guys have it tough trying to make this work. Sounds easy being away for weeks at a time....till you do it....lot of lonely miles to sit and reflect on what is going on at home.

    Memphis, Tn surprised to run into Ms. Injun on the yard as wed we're dropping. So Banty <insert slang for rooster here> story for the day stopped for a break in truckstop. Trainers sle.eping and to get out you have to circle a row of trucks to get to enter/exit. Well this woke him up he opens the curtain while I'm waiting for another truck at stop sign. He accuses me of being lost I laughed and told him no I just got out of a truckstop. He says I felt your uturn like I'm lying to him about iot. I said go back to sleep so I can get on the highway! He #### and left me alone amen.

    Waiting for shipper to finish loading a trailer... we are just into KY south of Cincinnati. We are headed to Wisconsin, and then home!
    I know what you mean about family, RedS10. We have been out for 3 weeks. It is tough being away from them for that long.
    Goodnight from the highway again, likely somewhere in north IL.
