    LOL, probably until Anne drags me off the truck. We really do enjoy this life. There are things we miss, like entertaining, but as long as we both want to keep doing it we will. I would not want to be a solo driver as we have too much fun together and we keep each other pretty balanced. I think the plan as of now is to buy a truck every 18 months or so and build up until we have 5 or 6. If managed properly, that should allow us to retire. Anne keeps saying "let's buy a motorhome" and I keep saying "lets buy a straight truck with a 160" cab. We can call it a motorhome but have somebody else pay for our fuel. We will see.

    Wow, what a great week off. Lots of time with the kids and totally recharged. Looking forward to next years St Patricks Day when the two youngest won't have to be the designated drivers. We left the truck in the shop in Springfield Missouri so we need to pile our stuff back into the rental minivan and drive back tonight. I have to say, traveling in a vehicle that does not have our bed and kcup coffee maker kinda sucks. Today is Anne's birthday so Sushi for lunch with the kids and then we will get heading East.

    Seems they have way more solo loads. Every load in the past few weeks has been a solo load. Wish we could just keep rolling. The week before we went home Craig had 3 34 hour resets! We get a load, drop it and sit for 24-36 hours. Hope it gets better soon!
