Crete, from one red truck to another

Haha, you are just 6 years past your prime psycho

Sitting at the homestead downing a few brews and getting ready to cook up my famous drunk chicken. Got some other new recipes I am trying out for the weekend, Korean style grilled rib eyes, grilled egg plant and one of my favorites for my daughter that will be heading back to the Big Apple on Monday, shrimp and scallop fettucini Should be a nice few days off.

Decent week as I has 1.5 days off. Got my daughter off back to the Big Apple and spent some nice days at home. Got some red beans and pork feet simmering now which should be #### good. Hoping to get a preplan for tomorrow so I can have things worked out and ready to go in the morning.

I had a QC issue with my first truck, it was actually a cord problem which I replaced and it functioned fine.

Got a nice 2200+ run right out of the gate heading to Phoenix. Unfortunately it doesn't unload until Monday and I could have it there Saturday but I am just going to take it easy and enjoy some 450 mile days. Dropping by to see my mom tomorrow afternoon and take her to dinner so that will be nice.

Switching my home time over to Las Vegas instead of Durham so going to see what that will entail as far as days out. Hoping to stay out west again for the majority of the month as I sure didn't miss the east coast a bit last month.

 

Sitting in Anthony, TX tonight, right on the border of NM. Relatively easy drive tomorrow to Phoenix. Going to see if I will be able to get unloaded early Monday morning but appt. isn't until 1330.

My house got robbed the day after I left home so I have not been sleeping very well thinking about that. Of course the police have been of little help. The thieves stole a cell phone and have been using it and I have the records of who they are calling but police said it takes over 2 weeks for a sapena to get the name and locations associated with the phone calls, crock of ####.

 

Wow, a nice brisk 113 degrees here in Phoenix And of course the drivers facility here at the terminal is not open, luckily got my sun shower with me to freshen up with when it cools down a little tonight.
