    I have a CB, and wouldn't be without one. Cell phones fail from time to time. If I had time, I'd have one of my Ham radios in here, too. With that, I could talk around the world when I was stopped.

    Got up early this morning with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. No QC msg. Walked into dispatch to see what great news they had for me. Funny enough, it was great news! Trl still not loaded, and no eta. So, Chris (?) took me off that load and gave me a run to SE Nashville, delivery at 0600 Monday. SPLENDID!!

    So, after some unfortunate no cause traffic jams, a rather curious QC elog glitch, and an motor vehicle incident detour, I'm less than an hour out parked at a beautiful and enchanting Hess truck stop. Just finished a delicious dinner, and about to rest my weary head for the night. Just have to cofirm where my travels will take me so I may deliver my magical cargo.

    I hope everybody had a magical day, or has a super night!

    (The preceeding was Disneyized to save sensitive eyes from hostile negativity.)

    Having a great time with my lovely dinner date. Dispatch tried to load me tonight. Not a chance. Made a deal to run that florida swap for a load to the yard and reset. Took a bit of talking but .... ;)

    Hey, 76 days out? Yeah, I'll take the break.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy Thanks this.

    Waving at yourself in the mirror doesn't count.

    What's funny is to watch him argue with himself about not using all fingers to wave.
