    Making another run to PA. Broker called regarding someone else's misfortune (driver quit or some such) and waved a big enough stack of money at me to celebrate the holiday on the truck.

    My son's truck missed another big $ (early) holiday weekend load being a day late out of the shop for some major work, so I sent him out on my truck Fri - Sun. Now I'm overdue for PM, so stopped at the Spartanburg T&A since they have the biggest shop along the way and I don't feel like driving late.

    Parked in the valet section up front. Debating on taking my chances with dinner, or just doing a big breakfast in the am. Probably the latter. By the time I get comfortable, they'll be calling me down to the shop. No matter. For the first time in weeks I've actually got a schedule with some slack time in it. A whole four hours. So I get to lollygag until 10-ish in the morning LOL.

    Been having fun in Yermo,CA all day trying to convince myself it isn't hot here at 110* cause it's a "dry heat"...Was going to do a rendition of the band America's 'I been through the desert in a Peterbilt with no name...
    It felt good to get out of the rain'....
    But nah...I think I've already lost my ####### mind..:biggrin_25511: Wait..."crazy folk" are happy right? There we go...:biggrin_255:

    Well we got a front row seat in our cud-de-sac in Atlanta... Not sure if this will be our last time or we will have one more time... Put our two week notice in Friday at 1600... Of course all the high-mucky mucks probably took out early, so we will see what tomorrow brings :)

    Anyone taking bets on if they will let us run our two weeks out, or bring us into a terminal early...
