Good evening from Cheyenne, WY!

We have run hard the past few days, taking short breaks for making up time gained for heading east.  You see, if I stayed on Seattle time, by the time I hit the east time zone, I would be starting my day at 8 AM and parking at 10 PM.......dangerous situation with my night vision and backing into a dark parking spot.  So I shorten my break time by one hour each day in order to wake up one hour early.  Now when I am heading west, I run my full 14 hours and sleep in one hour as I will lose one hour per day......time management and knowing your time zones is so important as a long haul driver.

And I am tired, I was up at 4 AM and on the road by 4:45.  We did manage a 30 minute run at lunch today and I was hoping to do the same before dinner but the long day of sitting behind the wheel has me just enjoying a mile long walk before my dinner of chili cheese and beef.  No beer tonight, dang nab Wyoming!  Dry state when it comes to beer and gas stations.  Oh well, it just made me enjoy the calories of my dinner a tad bit more  :)

I haven't heard from Brian, Jim or Kel in a while.  Matthew is on home time and Marcus is sitting east of us waiting on a load.  I got things squared away with the kids and we will be seeing them on the 10th or 11th of next month.  After this visit, I will see Marie in California and Mom/Charlie at Christmas.  My home time with Rhonda might not happen.......things are stirring up in her lil world but I am working on a visit to Florida to make up for it!

Wallet  update.......nadda!  The video footage was too dark to see.  Good news though, the only activity on my account is done by me!

I do love driving, it feels good to see America on my terms for what little I get paid and now the added bonus of making my home time with friends and family........it gives me something to look forward too and to smile about!
