    Well Ron in local Wouldn't take the load off ... Told me to pick up then come back ... Grrr

    so now double guessing ... Run this up to KS city , KS or just stay in shop , need miles but the heat in gettin hot in the Midwest

    edit: 1st trl that the trailer shop gave me was rejected , back to terminal .. Thru inspection , get 2nd trl & go 1/2 back to load , mind made up .... Truck to shop & going to the Holiday Inn tonight .... Need a cold shower now ( no singing)

    Not yet: the DMV & my insurance agent seem to be having some difficulty agreeing on what is required in a certificate of insurance and I can't get my CA Motor Carrier Permit until they do. Doesn't help that I have to rely on the postal service as an intermediary since California's DMV's motor carrier division doesn't accept faxes and isn't open to the public.

    I've got everything I need to run everywhere except CA so I'm starting to consider deadheading to Reno and getting an outbound there. Unfortunately $3/mile freight becomes $1.80/mile freight once you cross the Sierras.

    Sitting in Gustine,CA across from Andersen's Pea Soup always wanted to eat there as a kid but never did, oh well maybe one day. Deliver in Lathrop tomorrow at 630 then head to Lodi and grab load going to Laredo. 2900 miles for the week not to bad !!

    At the hospital with the mother-to-be. We were out walking earlier. Her contractions are close together. It seems like it when I look at the machine. Were it monitors the baby's heart rate and contractions.

    The contractions are getting further apart. It's more than likely we will go back home and wait. :(

    Babies don't come when you are ready...only when they are ready...sort of like getting unloaded at a grocery warehouse with lumpers involved. Hmmmm, could be the beginning of a new bumper sticker. Some of the best, and worst philosophies are found on bumper stickers!
