    Wow, was Ohio a trainwreck today. Snow by the bucket load. Worked my 14 down to 30 minutes and only drove 398. Unload and reload didn't help...kind of slow,on both ends, but I just kept grinding. Wish I could say I felt better but I still feel like death on a saltine cracker, but it's just driving and bumping docks...not like I'm doing honest work anymore...lol.

    What's up Skippy? Are you feeling better?

    I'm back home again this afternoon, I know, it sucks being me.

    Anyways I delivered up in Auburn, WA yesterday, reloaded around the corner and delivered to Eugene, OR this morning. Reloaded there and stopped at the house for the afternoon/evening. Heading out early for good 'ole L.A.

    Just got back to the yard. Was hoping to take a couple days off to settle into my truck, but there's a load waiting for me to run up to Wisconsin and a reload there coming right back so I'm going to run that out, a quick, easy 1,000 miles followed by a weekend off to settle into my truck, and then off and running. As far as how I feel, I declared myself dead at about lunchtime today, but I just don't have time to fall down...lol.

    Last run in the company rig, mainly out of convenience, I'm doing a quick 10 and rolling, no time to move my stuff tonight, and I want that truck set up right for my first run...maybe to Washington state.

    Uhhhhh, NO. not this week, maybe Tuesday or Wednesday next week, and then we’ll have to see about that. Longntime freind, known as weather trouble is heading for Sacramento. Can’t have both of you in close proximity to each other. Not sure what would happen, then I don’t want to find out. I could see the headlines
