WHAT NEXT

The other day at OSSEO, WI, I walked out to my truck only to find the pool of antifreeze on the ground. I found my water pump had a leak. Luckily, there was a shop there that SCHNEIDER uses at times. I found the leak late afternoon, they had the new pump about 6PM, and I was back in service (0330), on time to finish my delivery, on Monday morning. Now I'm sitting at INDY, having supper, headed for South Carolina. RAY..KTBC&PH

VALENTINE'S DAY BABY

Well here's the scoop. while enroute to Minnesota, under laod, I got messaged with a FOTO of my new GRANDAUGHTER, CULLEN RENEE. BEAUTIFUL 6lb 10 oz, 16" girl. I'm looking forwards to meeting her the next time I get home or in the area.


Got up this morning, had my coffee, and attended trucker chapel. gr8 way to start the morning.


The FOTO here is of a fellow driver, ROBERT, I met at OSSEO, WI at a truck stop.. I helped him get drivers downloaded so he could use his WIFI.We spent a couple hours just getting acquainted.

TUCKHANNAK 2 GARY







It's been a while since I upd8d this feature. RAY has been on my case for being lax. OK RAY. HERE IT IS.
Ran into RANDY, in the blue shirt, up at TANKHANUK, PA. The other foto s the AFTER at GARY on Saturday morning. We spent a day at Tuckhannak along with BRYAN waiting on our respective loads. We share venison sausage, gave advice to each other related to our loads. That got me in trouble in JERZY. went to bed in our respective trucks and then on our ways. While at Tuckhannak, I lost tracki0n with my bobtail in a muddy parking area, and Bryan (THE INTIMMIDATOR) had to pull me free.
Since then I was almost given a 25# load to I DON't REMEMBER WERE, USA. It was to have been 20000#+. SInce then JERZY was H___acious. I'm glad I'm out of there.
Between JERZY and home OC, I got to spend time with my friend CARL at UPPER SANDUSKY, OHIO (The OK HAND IT OVER state). I spent the tile with his son's family and a birthday party for his grandson.
Eventually I got to my delivery at MINOOKA, IL, spent time with my son and his family, my grandaughters REBECCA and NANCY, and hopefully, TODAY TO BE BORN, CULLEN RENEE.
Im at GARY waiting to pick up a load going up towards MINNESOTA to be delivered on monday.
OH RAY KTBC&PH
