    Probably not until later. We have a stop in Norwalk then a stop up near Providence to deliver tomorrow. Might not make it until Saturday.

    It ain't cheap. All of us Yankees came down to south Florida many years ago and artificially raised the cost of everything. There isn't any state income tax which personally I think is bad. One good thing though, it's a homesteaded state, which means no matter what happens, if you get sued they can't take your house. That's why when that slug OJ lost his civil suit in California the first thing he did was form a corporation and bought a multimillion dollar house in Miami. Since then he's lost it to foreclosure because he has other housing arrangements in Nevada.

    I'm getting empty in Suffolk Va. I got my reload earlier sent to me, I have to deadhead 30 miles to Hampton and do a drop and hook at Lumber Liquidators going to Omaha for Monday, a nice 1400 mile trip over the weekend. I'll have just enough time left to get to the rest area on 64 and call it a day. I've been at it since 4am and I'm a little tired.
     
    The Challenger and Weeble Kneeble Thank this.

    I just wonder how OJ likes the accommodations at his residence in Nevada?

    3 hots and a cot, plus all the drilling he can take. Can you imagine this box of rocks? He beats a double homicide rap then winds up getting 30 years for stealing a football. What an idiot.

    Florida can be quite humid. He might prefer the drier climate out west and lower cost of living (for him).
     
    JohnBoy, Lonesome and popcorn169 Thank this.

    Good to hear. Give me a call over the weekend. I ran out of hours here at LL in Hampton and took my break here. I'm now getting ready to head to Omaha. Be safe.
