Slacking...

Well I've kept up with my workouts but not with my posting. Kinda geeked that I've worked out the past 7 days. I am currently in South Beloit, IL enjoying my breakfast. My driving since Little Rock, AR has kinda looked like this.

Deliver Little Rock Monday morning. Wasn't a very difficult delivery. Used the lift gate to get the freight off. My hired labor guy was very competent. Apparently he used to be a communication guy in the military. His girlfriend and him had moved there to go to a small college for nursing. Chris was his name I think and I wish him the best of luck. Made one more delivery in North Little Rock then dispatch sent me down to Dallas for a load to Austin, TX.

Tuesday, made it down to Dallas the night before, dropped my trailer and grabbed an empty one. Dropped the empty at the customer and grabbed the loaded one. Drove down to Austin and made my delivery. The customer was one cool dude. He looked exactly like Kenny Rogers. Snow white longish hair and a beard. He said, "no, Kenny Rogers looks like ME!" Gotta love it. We talked beards for a bit since I still have mine. Apparently he has had his ever since he could grow a beard. His wife has never seen his face but after looking at an old high school picture she said, "I see why you have the beard." Ouch!

Dispatch sent me back to Dallas and told me to check in the next morning. I got a shower in Waco and got a leaky brake chamber fixed on my trailer on the way back.

Wednesday dispatch assigned me another load out of Dallas(same customer as the Austin load) headed up to the Twin cities in MN. I grabbed it and boogied up to KS where I got an oil change for the truck the next morning.

Thursday I continued up to the twin cities for dinner with my friend Katie again, but this time her fiance, fresh off proposing, was able to join us. Katie wasn't sick this time but she had laryngitis so she couldn't say a word, which was VERY funny.

Friday I made my delivery from Dallas and shot up north to Siren, WI for a load headed to Harrisburg, PA area. I made it about 400 miles down to the J here in South Beloit. I only have about 700 miles left and two days to do it in so I should have time for more workouts. Rockin. Gotta drive now.
