Final Stats from Las Vegas

Final report - nobody beat the house in Las Vegas.


Tracie, Teresa and Grandma, three generations.






My Mom and Baby Sophie, four generations.

Quite a gathering we had.










Tracie, Andrea, Josh and Sophie.






I left my remaining funds with Grandma and Grandpa to deposit in our bank. Surprise, surprise Grandma added a significant amount to my deposit to help pay for the airplane tickets. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa !!!


After delivering Friday morning in Little Rock we got what could be considered to be a lousy load. Pick up in Little Rock and deliver in Chicago on Monday - 600 miles - three days.


We overnighted at the W. Memphis OC on Friday and then hustled up to Cicero. We were in the middle of the storm that went through there - we didn't see a tornado but we heard there was one and the sirens were going off.

We're staying Saturday and Sunday nights at a Four Points (Sheraton) just south of Midway.


This morning we headed to Teresa's favorite breakfast place; Walker Brother's Pancake House.

One shuttle, two trains with 30 stops all the way to Wilmette, then a one mile walk. But it was worth it. We got there and walked right in, when leaving the line was out the door. They have five locations, all excellent.

















Then we headed over Millenium Park and the famous "Bean" and then to the Chicago Blues Festival in Grant park. Very busy day.












Quick trip across the street to Costco for some staples and we're ready to deliver in the morning.
