    Parked at our yard outside Atlanta. Gonna pickup a load inside the loop tomorrow and do a short haul to Knoxville. Pays pretty good for 180 miles and gives me a fairly easy Sunday

    "Tall Cotton"... hmmmm.... :biggrin_2558: Being the foreigner that I am... not born and not raised in this country.... here I went again to the online dictionary to understand what you folks mean... And this is what I found:

    "The term "high cotton" or "tall cotton"[SUP][1][/SUP] originates from the rural farming community in the antebellum (pre-Civil War) when "high cotton" meant that the crops were good and the prices, were, too. The term has generalized to mean one is doing well or is successful."

    Hey Tangerine... ENJOY your hometime man... :yes2557:
    I am at home too.... I mean, in the truck... this is where I live... Taking my 34 reset. And my sweet little "shell" here does feel like home to me... :yes2557:

    Took a shower, washed some clothes in the sink, cleaned inside truck, did dishes, planned my Monday and Tuesday, called my dearest Dad in Brasil... :biggrin_25519: today is FATHER'S DAY there... :biggrin_25519: Next, will bobtail to Walmart for groceries and some walking and entertainment... :biggrin_25519: Weather is hot... that's how I like it...:yes2557:

    Maybe will park at co. warehouse for tonight... or maybe at Walmart... or maybe back at this Pilot.... decisions.... decisions.... :biggrin_25526:

    [​IMG]

    But not for very long... Decided to park at my co. warehouse for tonight... Will leave there tomorrow morning... as soon as they load the other trailer... Then, may get truck and trailer washed and go to next delivery in NC... Delivery will be Tuesday morning.... will call person in charge and maybe they will let me park at receiver tomorrow evening... I hope so...
    Cranky would like this place here... there's a Dunkin Donuts a few yards away... :biggrin_25519:
