Lucky not to be hung from the highest tree in Evanston, Wyoming!

It has been a very trying past couple of days with little hours to make a decent paycheck and to top it all off, I missed a gear climbing a steep grade that went from two lanes into one and crawled up the remaining ½ mile at 15 miles per hour when it should have been 30.  The line of trucks behind me had to gear down as well and I could hear every single cussword with each down shift.  How embarrassing!  I pulled into my truck stop for the evening and parked into a spot, engine first, so I could hide myself.  Gads, just the other day, I saw another driver who did the same thing and now I know how stupid he felt!

I woke up this morning in Greeley, CO and was ready to hit the road at 4:45 AM.  Two hours later (I fell back asleep) I asked about my load.  I was informed that I would pick up a split at 8 PM!  I am like…….dude, I will be out of hours and they are like, dude, take a 10 hour break and I am like…….I JUST DID!  Can you imagine, waking up that early to be told to enjoy two hours, sleep for another eight so you can drive all night?  I straight told them that I don’t do splits and I don’t drive graveyard.  And guess what, I got a load!   I couldn’t deliver on time because they did not give it to me early enough but I will drop it in the morning and lucky me, I get a 9 mile shag…………can someone just kick me and get it over with!

And, I will be cancelling surgery on my thumb as the cyst seems to be draining……it appears it will be something I will have to deal with as I get OLD.

I can tell you one thing; the drive on I-70 from Utah into Colorado is awesome!  Another good weekend adventure for seeing nature’s beauty!

See you all in the cab at 4:45 AM!

And James, let me know when the new  truck arrives!  ;)
