Running With Watkins & Shepard

Now if only Chris would come out of hiding lol

 

LOL I'm not hiding AXE.

Hey evereyone, sorry it's been a while and I know I told you all that things are sort of strange for me rright now. They are and as soon as I have all the answers, I promise I'll let you all know what's been going on.

Well it seems I've come full circle in a way...LOL I have a load out of Dalton due monday morning in Youngsville NC. I asked Steve if he could repower it and keep me running through the weekend. Well that didn't pan out (part of that story at some point) so I decided for the first time since I've been driving to "Treat" myself like a human being.

I rented a room yesterday at the Days Inn (where it all started so hence the full cirlcle). Took a nice shower, ordered Chinese delivery and plan on hanging out at the pool today for some sun.. Then I'll roll over to Wally World for some food shopping.

There may be some big changes coming my way but at this point, I'm simply not sure. When I am, I'll let you know what and why. But right now, I have to decide whether to keep this room today, I'll have to leave out around 03:00 so I'm not sure it's worth it. But on the other hand, I have much to take care of and I have to admit, it's pretty comfortable doing it form here...LOL

I don't spoil myself often and in fact, I never really have. Might take some getting used to.

 

Well, it didn't take long to decide to keep the room. I have everything I need here including a laundry which I need to do. Plus, I won't have to worry about running the truck for power or heating/cooling if need be.

I met Jerzdevil<<(spelling?) yesterday in the Conover yard. I was rolling around looking for a spot to drop my trailer and a voice comes over the CB saying..."Hey Chris, good to see you roll in. I've been waiting to meet you for months"...... ME??...... .....LOL

We talked for several hours. He's a nice guy with a sharp head on his shoulders. He was doing a 34 there but hardly taking a "break". While he was polishing and cleaning his truck he was helping probably 4 or 5 new guys out with all kinds of things. Some by phone, some right in the yard. Very cool of him and a great thing to see!! In the end we exchanged contact info and I hope we stay in touch.

 

Glad to see your takeing a break! Enjoy it, i wish i had a pool right now haha

Well unfortunately the pool is closed but that's cool. I'm enjoying the time I have to comfortably take care of business.

 

you shoulda went to the Laquinta across the street its way better and only a few dollars more.



American Trucker

 

Well, I admit this isn't the greatest place but it's bigger than the truck...

With all that's happened lately, a few bucks matters buddy.

 

I think I saw your truck parked there...I would liked to have met you too, nice to put faces with the voices...

 

Still is buddy. Stop in if you like.

 

I'm in TN........
