Rain! Where is that Laredo sunshine???

Happy Tuesday from a cold and wet Duvall!  It is always good to go home but to return to the same ole weather of rain and forbidden sunshine after nearly two months of hot sun, bright blue skies and pool perfect heat; you almost want to climb back in the truck and hit the highway!  And in full honesty, I am ready to do just that!

I thought I would fight tooth and nail to get those ten days off that I feel are rightly mine after being on the road for three months but after being away for so long; I found there really isn’t anything holding me here except for my black lab.  I actually spent more money at home in three days than I did on the road for two months.  I had to replace the truck battery, I paid over $500 for dental work, I had to pay a loan off that I said I would three months ago, I paid to have Gonja all updated on his shots and a purchased a $250 money order in case I am asked to pay a pet deposit while he rides with me, etc.  Ouch!

On a good note, I won’t be able to retreat the trailer top due to wet weather and I decided to wait on replacing the shed at the end of the summer.    Saved myself $400 ………. For now!

I did get to spend some time with Pix and James on Saturday as you saw with the previous post.  I enjoyed breakfast and a few short conversations with my Duvall family as they are all busy with their own schedules and that my dear truckers, is pretty much my life here in the sticks of Duvall!  Two days of catching up with the few individuals that are active in my life and I am ready to hit the road again.  I did try to get an extension until Wednesday so I can get my new crown from the dentist but was denied with the promised I would be kept on the west coast and home in two weeks to finish the dental work.  It still might happen as I have to take the truck into the shop on Friday and who knows, they might need to order parts that could hold me for over the weekend.

I am off to finish organizing the truck and then off to cook/freeze meals in preparation for the road!
