    Already planned on my reload back to Michigan . I was hoping to stay south for a while. Oh well, it's miles, and those bring smiles.
    I was approved for an infusion treatment for my platelet count.
    Problem is; it's a 6 hr infusion, every week, for 4 weeks .
    Lucky for me , I can get on the regional board and make that happen. Now to figure out when and how with hi days on fast approach.

After that, I pick up a load 100 miles away and it has 4 drops, ending in Pleasant Prairie, WI I will than pick up a load out of Chicago going to Grand Rapids, that is if the load is still available tomorrow morning... Daughters 2nd degree murder trial starts tuesday but, I can't be home till wednsday night... Plus, I have to get my truck worked on by a detroit certified shop... Guess I will call Williams in Byron Center tomorrow morning as well.... Maybe you and I can meet up one day and have cup of coffee or something...

    Got my load of sunflower seeds to Grand Rapids loaded. It's flipping cold up here in ND. I feel for Michigan getting hit tonight by that blast of snow. Although I hope it is plowed and salted by Wednesday night. Be safe everyone. Winter is here.

    Be prepared for snow. I had bare sidewalks this morning in southern Kent County and plowed 6" off them just now. And these snow bands are forecast to keep coming through Tuesday night dropping up to 12" in places. And oh, is it blowing!nhopefully, it will be calmer by your arrival, but the southern lake roads get it much worse.

    Be careful. Those pickup drivers think the laws of physics don't apply to them. Lots of spin outs and accidents all over.
     
    Wickedfire77 and SheepDog Thank this.

    Some believe "4 wheel drive" translates to "I'm invincible ".
    Clue 1995: nobody has traction on ice.

    Stopped at Petro in portage Wisconsin to get oil topped off. I've been adding quite a bit of late . Going to have yard shop look at it when I get empty. Meanwhile, I sleep until I I continue on my journey into snow country. Lake effect is hitting home big time. No school for the kids. So, that will be fun.
