Remember, I'm the guy that has empathy for my automobiles when it's time for an oil change and I'm the one that gets anxious when I'm running low on fuel. So I guess it's OK for me to feel like the truck also wants to look running around the country.
Monday started off pretty poorly. By noon we had not received a new w/a. In some places we probably wouldn't have minded much. But the two truck stops we were at I wouldn't wash my dog in, so you can see how we might feel. Also around noon I indicated we were checking back into the Motel 6, which got a tepid OK. By then we're feeling we deserve it again. I sent a note on the Qualcomm - "load or hotel, you make the call." So about 1300 we're getting ready to head over and low and behold a w/a. At this point I wasn't sure whether to be elated or disappointed. And to top it off it's a relatively short run. But it's activity so we're off.
We ran 90 miles to Palestine, TX to pick up a load at a WalMart d/c to take to San Antonio and deliver in the morning. We stopped for the night in Rockdale, TX. 
This morning at 0500 I went into WalMart and picked up these flowers for my Funny Lady; today is her birthday, the BIG 50.
They're her color - she's a purple person.
That's my water jug I used as a vase to present to her. I got hugs and kisses and laughs all before 530 in the morning. What a day !
We delivered in San Antonio and then picked up another load in San Antonio to deliver in Houston. We're now at the Houston OC and I am, doing laundry. Teresa's watching her favorite show - Scrubs. Well I guess it is her birthday, it's the least I can do.
Ten days till Cancun...
