Much to Catch Up On

Got to Augusta Tuesday night and rented a car to drive down to Savanah, GA. Had dinner at Paula Dean's Lady and Son's restaurant. Great southern food. Nice place recommend it highly. Wandered around the riverfront for awhile and headed back to Augusta. Next morning delivered the TP to KC and then picked up a load of (you got it) TP to take to the Publix warehouse in Lakeland, FL. Scooted down to Ocala to spend the night and then delivered Thursday morning. Got the next work assignment to pick up some boat stuff from Bradenton, FL and then head to Conover, NC and take it all to Little Falls, MN, Got down to the shipper and found they had canceled the load. So now what ??? No problem for us adventurers. We were about 10 miles from Manatee Beach so---

Look, there's that funny lady again, I think she must be following me around the country.

While eating lunch got my next W/A - go up to Palatka, FL and pick up a load of paper - 37,000 pounds and take it to Brownsville, TX.

Enroute spent last night literally on the beach in Biloxi, MS. We were actually just outside the Grand Casino across the street where they are building a new casino. Spent the night in the lot where there used to be houses but are no more due to Katrina.

Drove past the devastation still remaining of Katrina in New Orleans - not much progress has been made since we were down there two years ago.

In the Houston operations center finishing laundry. Put the truck in the shop to get another oil change and it won't be ready until tomorrow afternoon... So we're going to a La Quinta hotel tonight and will have to drive most of tomorrow night to make the delivery on Monday at 0700.

Got to take care of some details... more later.

Just so you know, I do still do some work... 500 miles yesterday.
