Taking another swing at it

Rough night trying to sleep. I think I need a new mattress or at least put some kind of padding down to soften the impact of inner springs. They are killing my back and shoulders.
I wonder where I can find one of those auto inflating air mattresses?
Up at the buttcrack of dawn to sit and wait for someone to show up at this warehouse to unload 5 chairs so I can run back over the hill and grab my beer run

 

After 2 driving shifts I'm in mt sterling, ky. Few more hrs in the wee hours and I'll be at the destination. Between the two loads this week, including deadhead , I will have 3000 miles exactly. Then to get home by Monday to catch hockey prospects in Traverse City. Thank goodness hockey season is almost back.
i know many are football fans, but that is a distant second for me. I find it kinda long and slow.
I can watch a hockey game with intensity and never be bored. Be it on TV or live . Pro or amateur. It's the coolest game on earth.
Im so into it I try to catch Detroit Red Wings training camp every September. Easy way to get autographs if that's your thing .
Enough rambling , time to shower and sleep

 

You know it's been a long time since I had a drink. I think I'm due a day to get off the front porch.

 

Working hard on my anniversary . I'll be home Monday though. Hopefully we can celebrate 11 years with peace and quiet

 

I'm watching about 5 guys "helping" a driver back in to a spot at the J. You obviously can tell who the veteran driver is giving directions from the front of the truck, and who the non teaching types are that are just spread all over the blind spots, giving would be vague hand signals in the dark to the driver .
We have all been there, and I can appreciate the guys trying to lend a hand, but sometimes, the tribe has too many chiefs.

 

My preloaded beer load to Michigan was changed to a live load in the morning . I get to sleep in until 515am! Yay!

 

Celebrated our 11 yrs anniversary by going to Traverse city, getting a jacuzzi room, went "into the storm", ate lunch at Olive Garden and dinner at outback.
$100 or so later and I'm enjoying the jacuzzi and drinking a redds apple ale watching the Tigers try to beat the Royals. Life is good, even for us in middle class.

 

One more night at home, then I put it back in gear.
Please remember what tomorrow means.
Every day you wake up is a new day to do something great. A gift. Help someone out while you are out helping yourself.

 

Today I am reminded how much a pain back roads in eastern pa can be. With all that behind me though, I'm headed to Fl with empty bottles.
