    So far...

    - KC to Albany, NY
    - Zanesville, OH to OKC
    - Stillwater, OK to Topeka, KS


    Overall nothing exciting, just day to day trucking. Last night/this morning sucked between Tulsa to OKC - heavy rain, high winds and "not too bright four-wheelers" that shouldn't be driving. Not sure where the week went, flew by pretty quick and once again its time for bed.

    Project for next couple weeks - Shelving system for the top bunk spot and tv mounting.

    Yea, looks like I might be able to get a reset also if I push a bit. Heavy hazmat/acid load though... You should see the bracing on this one, hopefully they pull all the nails out. Took them like 30-45 to load, but about 3 hrs total to do the bracing.

    Looks like I'll have enough time to do a 34 reset before delivery on Monday :biggrin_25519:

    You guys should check out this truck stop if you ever get a chance in Johnson Creek, WI - Pine Cone Gas, restaurant & bakery! OMG - the bakery, huge cookies, eclairs, cream puffs and cow/pig cookies lol. Ohh and the girls that work here...wow :yes2557: Open 24hrs - not sure if that's a good thing when it comes to all those sweets. :biggrin_2552:

    The sweets aren't a problem if you burn 'em off. Run around the truck a few times. (8 trips around = ~1/4 mile) 1 mile = ~100 calories burned!

    Moderation is the key, and one or two won't hurt you.
