WHERE TO START???

It's been an interesting two weeks.. between PA to TX, to GA, SC, MI, and NV. At AUGUSTA, GA, I was parked at a truck stop, when an individual, asked me for money. First a dollar, then a quarter. When he asked for the quarter, he said he had $.98, and needed the quarter to make $1.18 for a quart of beer. I told him I'd buy him a meal, but nothing for beer. He put his beer back, and left very upset with me. Later he must have found someone to give him the quarter, because he came back and left the truck stop with his quart.

The load I'm on now, I picked up in Grand Rapids, MI, and delivering it on Monday, here in VEGAS. I drove through some of the most beautiful, GOD CREATED, country to be had. Coming through Colorado, (this first foto is of NO NAME CITY sign on I70 in COLORADO..What movie with Clint EASTWOOD and LEE MARVIN does it bring to mind??), Arizona and Nevada. Coming through various canyons, the ROCKIES and gorges.

The shot of HORSES are in BRUSH, COLORADO with the ROCKIES in the background.

This also must be the best CHRISTMAS weather I ever had seen. It is CHRISTMAS in JULY?? RIGHT?? I was called into GARY before I went home and they gave me the new truck..Leaving Grand Rapids, I got a message to come through GARY OC, and have the new technology put in. This one foto is of the new QUALCOMM HEAD. It show the daily logging portion. It allows for EMAIL, internet service, and soon it should have GPS MAPPING.

This last foto, is of DUCT TAPE and not-yet BAILING WIRE. The weather stripping on the passenger door, was weakened by the heat of TEXAS (113 degree). and came loose. I needed to tape it up. I also had time to put a coat of wax, and chrome polish on the unit.

Now I'm sitting in a FLYING J in VEGAS, starting a 34 restart, with hopefully layover pay. It's interesting listening to the various authority (drivers) stories on all subjects known to man.
