Back to the sticks of ...... Montana!

And it is a beautiful yet chilly night to call it quits in Great Falls!  I just finished my dinner of chicken, veggies and rice that should have been enjoyed two hours ago but thanks to my dispatcher, I spent my dinner hour sitting in Customs at the Canada border.  Someone forgot to tell Canada Briefing that I picked up my load at 7 AM so when I arrived at the border at 4 PM.....I wasn't approved to cross.  After a few phone calls, and paperwork edits, I was permitted to hit the road before the deer came out of the bushes to play......."I can beat that truck!"

I am swapping this load at 10:30 in Butte and not sure where I am going after that.....except to Troy where my kids have been waiting a little too hard.  I did say I would be there by the 10th and it is only the 8th.  Cross your fingers that this wonderful cold weather remains, without snow, for at least a week.

Once I hit Troy, I will be off line for home time until the 14th.  So now is a good time to pack your bags and get out of the truck.  I will pick you up at 6 AM on the 14th......weather permitting!

Now this would be a lovely retirement home......not with my wages!

Drove that 50 miles of ice on this road..........

Free air conditioning with purchase!

The cows come home to a smile.......... :)

Hey Reia,
Do your wages allow you to purchase the air conditioned barn?

I would have to drive THREE company trucks at once to buy that wonderful barn!
