    going to Le Mars tomorrow for a 3 stopper in dever starting monday night.....luckily I have the hours...the problem is all my cons are the ones that take FOREVER...but we will see...gotta stop in sheldon for some chains though...dont wanna get caught in Colorado without tirechains...I don't feel like a ticket....Plus I will park in the Yard and go HOME tonight and sleep in my bed and do some laundry.....

    started this day off on a bad foot though...was going to get up at 01 and roll out to Sioux Falls...but my battery died on my phone (I forgot to plug in the OTHER end) so I woke up at 630 cussing.....oh well at least I got some good sleep out of it...cause I hate driving tired and bleary eyed.......


    DONT FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS BACK TONIGHT!!!

    Headed back to front royal again, thankfully this time no last minute change BS, i got tired of that crap last month lol. Hoping to get a load going home so i can get a 34, vote, then haul the quad-wheeler in to see how much i can get for that trade-in, so i can lock in a good rate and put my order in for the new machine since they don't ship till February, which gives me some time to get saved up some more. 2013 looks like it'll be a busy year for me.

    The bad part is i have to get this thing into a shop, got another cold leak, but its at a hose clamp and i cant get to it, and the batteries are still giving me fits with trying to start in the morning, luckily i had a reefer unit handy to jump start the motor yesterday.

    #### Mic, that's a haul!

    Delivered in New Stanton, PA this morning and now waiting for backhaul. The original plan got pulled since shipper postponed till Wednesday.

    Line at Blue Beacon in Bentleyville was ridiculous.

    Three hours in line for a washout at Blue Beacon in Bentleyville, PA. Apparently its always like that so I'll avoid it like the plague next time.

    Rushed into downtown Pittsburgh for pick up number one. Managed to slip out of city before rush hour too. :)

    Have another pick up in the mornibg and fhen headed to Kansas.

    I have done absolutely nothing all day.Made it to Grand Island with 20 minutes left on my 70,so doing a 34 here then deliver in Le Mars tomorrow evening. Don't wanna go home after doing a reset so hopefully I will get a good run. Tomorrow is election day so don't forget to vote. Safe travels everyone.
