    Dropped load last night at Lowes, still had 5 hrs left but dispatch said nothing till morning, got preplan going to our favorite Lowes in Kyle,TX for morning delivery, at least this time we wont have to sit all weekend I just really dont understand these loads 320 down to Kyle then sit, we have full hours and abt 55 Hrs on 70 gives us a longer load,hoping for something better tomorrow, hell we might even be able drop this today , just thought abt that :)

    Today's TV knowledge gained.

    Hot water
    Add some salt
    Like 6 shakes of hot sauce.
    Stir.
    Gargle.

    Bye bye sore throat.

    Can't wait to test this out. Ricolas hurt my teeth.

    My screen came in today.

    You hang it off the visor down in front and it reduces sun glare.
    Got a night vision one as well.

    Worth trying.... stupid ppl & hi-beams.

    Extra 45 miles to avoid NYC, GWB, and about 200 miles of 45-55 MPH speed limits? No question! Headed down to GA now. Trying to beat this snow!!!

    Just shy of Tuscon, AZ

    Stopped 40min early because I thought it was coming up on 1700 local & I didnt want to waste my 70 in traffic. Turns out it is 1600. doh! -- forgot Arizona doesn't do daylight savings... oh well


    Left hometime Friday... Sacramento to LA, Irvine, Lancaster, Dallas, Lancaster, Dallas, Garland, El Paso, & now to Stockton probably late thursday night. 3800 miles for 1 week starting & stopping at home all while avoiding nasty weather? A guy could really get used to this!
