Whewy Again !

During the night on Friday our next w/a assignment came in. By 0700 we were supposed to leave the Dallas OC go over to the WalMart DC in DeSoto drop the trailer, bobtail back to the Dallas OC, pick up another empty take it back to the WalMart and then pick up our real load.

So we had to get up a bit early and hit it, but as you can guess we got it done. So we headed for Alachua, FL. How about that sunset ? See those spikes beside the Funny Lady's legs ? Thats a riverboat casino (no, we didn't go) down on the water in in Ol' Miss.

We made it on down to the Panhandle of FL Sun night and delivered Monday am. Our next w/a was to jet (literally) down to Lakeland, FL and pick up a load of pallets and take them up to Gaffney, SC. Who would think they would have to bring pallets all the way from FL to SC ? Anyway we dropped them on Tuesday and got another w/a enroute. Did you know that Nestle's owns Stouffers ? Neither did we. Anyway that's where we dropped the pallets. Turns out down the street that had a "Stouffers Thrift Store." After we dropped the trailer of pallets we stopped in and got several frozen dinners. The stuffed peppers were real good today.

It instructed us to bobtail to "Atlanta Roadway" in Braselton, GA. No problem with Braselton, but the rest of the instructions were a bit vague. At least we were bobtailing. We had to turn around three times.

Finally found it - it was a real racing roadway. I think they used the trailer for advertising. We got to drive all over the grounds to get it. Way cool !

We took this empty to McDonough, GA - just south of Atlanta and picked up a load of female products and kleenex and are headed for Pittston, PA.

There's these weird vines that grow along the freeways, all over the south, I'm sure other places, but this is what I can see.

They grow like Mongolian hordes over everything in their path. Their scary weird. They completely envelope anything in their path trees, fences, houses, really anything.

Several long and early days in a row. I really like to go 350 - 400 miles a day and we've been getting over 500. More money but more tired and less time to walk/exercise.

Caught up now...
