    Seriously Rich, the flag deal on the moon, really? Talking to Brian lately?.....lol Do you really want to get me started about that Hollywood movie they put together in 1969 about that purported moon landing? Wait, they have a couple of so called moon rocks in the Smithsonian that look like something from the western part of Arizona on I-10.

    Sitting in Pine Bluffs Wyoming with my first drop done. I'll leave out at daybreak to drive the 385 miles up to Dubois to get my second drop off. I went that way last winter when I went up to Jackson Hole, it isn't a particularly good 200 miles up there in bad weather. Tomorrows day will consist of 385 miles up, dropping off 3 coolers, then 195 miles back down to Rock Springs. Hopefully I can make it to Little America and take my 10, then I'll get up early Tuesday morning to drop in South Jordan Utah, then head up to Prineville Oregon for Wednesday.

    Made it 704 today. Tomorrow's goal is 709 to Tucumcarri, NM. I should get to the Final in Fremont, CA an hour before delivery with 2 hours on my 70. Hopefully I can make it to the 49er for a reset

    and you want to go to the 49er for 34 hours
    because the food is lousy
    the fuel is expensive
    and the truckwash is a joke

    oh i forgot your a ravens fan :biggrin_2558:

    I've been here at Abilene for 3 months now and I'm very happy and fortunate to work for such a great company. I keep meeting driver after driver here with years of experience that could drive anywhere but have been with Abilene for years. I just got out to Cayon Country, CA with a Hill Phoenix load and met a driver here with 19 years experience and has been with Abilene for the past 11 years. Turns out he lives in south Florida as well only a few miles from my house. Small world at times. The start of the year has brought great miles. The trip out to California from Richmond was 2593 paid miles which nets me 4862 so far on this pay period.
