Hebrews? No He Brews

I saw this sign on Telegraph Road. I guess you can get a Double Latte with a side of Mathew. It made me laugh, but that don't take too much.

Sitting in Romulus

I'm killing some time in Romulus MI. I've got a midnight pick-up near here going to Madison Heights, about 5 miles from home. I had to put front brake pads and rotors on my truck about $800 bucks, but I am really surprised that the original ones lasted 286,404 miles!! I guess it's because of all the highway driving. Well since I was in Erie last week I got a run going to the middle of Massachusetts. I wish I hadn't taken it. I got there Wednesday morning waited a couple of days, then I started driving home, while dispatch tried to find me some work. I ended up driving all the way back home. I did get to spend a few days there Fri night-Wed morning. Today I took a run from Detroit to Toledo waited half the day, then on my way back home I got this run to Madison heights. Dispatch did offer me a load going back to NY state delivering Thursday, but I figured I'd have to probably drive back empty. I'm going on a family trip this weekend and I wanted to be home by Thursday night. This will probably be the last post for a week or so. The next few pictures are ones my daughter took around our house when I was home. take care all.

This is a knot hole in the tree in my front yard. I've been seeing a little black bird go in and out quite a bit. I believe there may be baby birds inside. I will be watching for them to stick their heads out when I'm home and try to get a picture of them.

The Ronald McDonald fun mobile

I passed this RV/fun mobile on I-90 near Cleveland. I guess I won't complain about my job ever again. I could see the headlines if I had that job---Ronald McDonald goes nuts, Mayor McCheese's wife to identify corpse. Hamburglar still missing. Big Mac's seem to taste better than ever.

Sign of the times Thanks to George and Dick

2 days later diesel had went to $5.14. Who would have guessed that at the end of 8 years of oil guys in the White House we'd have fuel prices like this. OK ,so I'm not 100% sure that we can blame them, but it is quite a coincidence isn't it. Luckily I had enough to get to Pennsylvania where I got 6 gallons for $4.95 each. That was enough to get me to Ohio where I filled up at the bargain price of $4.59 a gallon. It only cost me $380.26 to fill up, Still less than the $405.00 it cost me in Florida a couple of weeks ago.

Tonawanda NY- Erie PA Kelloggs/Keebler Fishing Team

After I delivered to the Tonawanda GM factory, I got some more sleep,hoping dispatch would wake me with a run. I usually don't have much luck in Tonawanda, so I headed down to Erie PA. I was following some pro fisherman, I think. That would be a pretty good job. I'm really good at knocking other people's fish off their lines, just ask Ronnie and Jerry.

Lake Erie from Downtown Erie PA

Eerie sky at Erie TA Truckstop

I guess Eerie isn't really the right adjective for this sky, but I thought it made a good caption. The next few are more of it. It looked so neat with the sun reflecting silver lines across the edges of the clouds. I believe a couple of these would make nice prints if they were blown up and framed. Dispatch just bid a load for me to Laredo, but alas we didn't get it. For now I wait, I'll probably move west to Cleveland for tomorrow if I don't get a run today. Take care all.
