    I usually have just enough time if I wanted to to make it to the pilot in Waldo but that’s no prize either lol.
    Last time I was there it was pooring rain and I parked out back and it was flooded.
    I pulled up in the dark next to the only dry piece of ground and got out to walk in to the truck stop.
    As I am tip toeing thru the water I start to feel an incredible burning up my pant leg.
    A quick check with my cell phone light verified I had about 10,000 fire ants up my pant leg having there way with me lol
    One thing about 12 below zero..
    NO Fire Ants lol

    Truck 2 told me Swift was upside down in the Illinois River on 70. Said looked like he rolled it on the bridge railing and went over.

    Upside down? Thinking that dude probably didn't make it.

    Hope you are dropping near where you are planning to spend the holiday?

    Getting a reload on Tues through Thursday (maybe into January) could be problematic.
