    Well finally get to post a location that's not home, first overnight in the last 3 weeks.
    Menominee, WI. Kwik trip.
    Minnetonka in the early am and then back home for another night at home.
    I guess I'm more local with a pinch of regional

    Parked in the JBS Cactus, TX lot for the night. 8 hour break was about due, and I know parking is not all that good south of Amarillo this time of night. Truck seems to be running ok. Oil temp still likes to climb up there, but hasn't triggered a check engine light so I'm glad. Went through some high winds and rain in the pan handle of TX, OKlahoma. Thought my trailer was going to tipp over. I haven't had a death grip on the steering wheel like that in a long time. Well its eye lid movie time. G niteeeee.

    Well made it to the Loves in Rhome, TX. Needed to take a 30 minute break, but decided I didn't want to play in cow town traffic. So will take an 8 or a full 10 and then Head on in to Laporte. Also got over 2,000 miles worth of pre plans due by next Tuesday. So I guess I can't play fuel mileage games. Might have to run against the governor. I so like letting everybody else pass me and enjoying the ride.

    Also get to pass through the house actually on 2 of the loads but the wife is working 4 straight 12's today through saturday. So she probably won't be to much fun. Then on the last preplan. That has me picking up in Grand Island Monday at 7am and delivering in Laporte Tuesday @ 11am Loaded miles they are paying is 897. So I might have to add 30 to 40 real miles to it. That's going to be a tuffy but doable. Not sure I'll stop by the house on that one. I'm hoping that picks up when I get there Sunday. Just something fishy about that load.

    Well time to hit the showers. Speaking of showers when I was getting off the exit there were flash flood warnings for the area. So got off just in time and don't have to play crash up derby with texans. We goneeeee~~
