This is really feaky

I swear upon my daughter's (who just so happens to know the password for this blog) photo shopping ass that these Ghouls or undead beings were not here when I originally posted this!!

Above ground decaying crypt?

I wonder if there is a corpse in this, this place was really spooky! I wish Kathy had been with me, I woulda been saying "He's coming to get you Barbara" (If you don't remember that's from the opening scene of Night of the living dead).

Old Truck in Sandersville Georgia

This old Mack truck pulled up while I was sitting at this God Awful Truck stop just south of Sandersville. I wonder how many miles are on it, looks like alot! Someone got their moneys worth. I just got a load picking up tomorrow morning in Fletcher N.C. (about 240 miles to go get it). It's going to Shreveport, Louisiana. I guess turning down Miami worked, both loads deliver Monday morning, and this one is about 300 more miles,798 loaded. The drop also puts me in a little better freight area, I hope anyways Shreveports not great but better than Mami. So long for now

I-39/I-90 Northbound near the Illinois/Wisconsin State Line

Well I'm sitting in Sandersville GA, after a pretty productive week. 1st good week in quite awhile. I saw this guy pass me in Illinois and I wanted a picture of all of these racks. I didn't have time to get my camera out. I got lucky because he got stuck at the Toll Plaza and I have EZ Pass. I was ready when he passed me the 2nd time. This week I delivered in Belvidere, IL on Tuesday morning. I got one later that day going from Germantown, WI(Milwaukee Suburb) to Tonawanda, NY (Buffalo Suburb). I moved over to Erie, PA and got one going from Warren, OH to here in Sandersville GA.

I might have messed up this morning, but I'll never really know. About 10am dispatch had me a load going from Valdosta, GA to Miami, FL. It picked up tonight and delivered Monday morning. It being so early in the day, I turned it down. I've been lucky in the Miami area lately with 2 loads, 1 to Atlantic City, NJ area and 1 to Washington D.C. area. I'ver also been burned down there 2 or 3 times with having to drive empty 7 or 8 hundred miles to find another load. I probably would have taken it, but with one Tropical Storm/Hurricane after another lining up and coming in and it being so early in the day, I thought I'd gamble on a load going to a busier freight area. It is beginning to look like I should have taken it because it is 5:40 PM on Friday now. I am in a good spot here and sometimes I get loads on Friday nights and Saturdays. I am centrally located between Atlanta- Macon- Augusta and North West South Carolina, All decent freight areas. I did have a couple of shots today at loads. 1 going to Baton Rouge and 1 to Ohio but they fell through. Oh well maybe I'll get something out of here before tomorrow. You really need some weekend miles to have a good week in this business.

CHECK OUT MICKY'S SITE, CHRISTMAS WILL BE HERE SOON- GREAT GIFTS

Back Home

While at home this weekend we ran out of the peanuts we feed to the neighborhood squirrels. It turns out that some squirrels only like bread, some hate bread, some love cheerios, and others hate the tasty cereal with a passion. The squirrels of Hazel Park are picky and eagerly await our repurchase of the tasty treat they crave - the peanut.

"You expect me to eat bread?? Where are my peanuts!?"

"Can I come in and check just to make sure you don't have any peanuts left?"

"Can you get me a pillow?"

Nice paint job Micky!!

My Sister in law Michelle painted this for my Sister's house. I guess Ronnie somehow made this off of an internet picture then sent it to someone who cut it out of metal. (CNC Machine I think). It looks great up there. We had a really nice time.

At my Sister's Lakehouse on Labor Day Weekend

The 3 Bears greet boaters passing by . I got home Friday, then Saturday, Kathy, Nicole and I picked up my mom and went to my sister's for a couple of very nice days.
Well after 8 days waiting around in Louisiana and Arkansas, I got a huge run of 215 miles from Memphis, TN -Huntsville, AL. (yeah the Huge was Sarcasm). Then quickly I had another load on my truck Thursday evening! Just 1 small problem, It was going to Belvidere IL, I could have been there on Friday morning but they were closed. So I just went home. I'm leaving out this afternoon for Belvidere.

Comments are appreciated

1 quick note- I love comments about this blog. Likes -Dislikes- Are you a regular visitor? For gods sake throw me a bone here! (hehe)The stat counter tells me that I do have alot of regular visitors. I always wonder who's looking in. I'm still waiting here in West Memphis Arkansas. Here's another old photo for now, it's of Texas Canyon, I-10 near the Arizona-Texas line.

I forgot my camera this trip, It makes me so mad cause I've seen many a freak here (Actually every truck stop seems to attrack them, I'm sure they are from somewhere else) in West Memphis, Arkansas. Well I'm beginning to feel like this is my new home. I dropped off last Wednesday morning in Northwest Nowheresville Louisiana. I Moved over here last Thursday evening, and I am still waiting. Thank god for on-line poker and this blog or I swear I would go mad, MAD I SAY. I know if you know me you might argue that I've been mad for years. Well I say screw you, who are you to say that about me. This is my blog and for you to go on and on an about me being mad really gets my blood boiling. I feel really bad that I didn't get back home last weekend to help my family doing work at my mom's house, Ronnie, Jerry, Del, Micky, Mark and Jon and Penny I owe you guys Big-Time. I'll probably never pay you back, But please feel some solice knowing that I owe you. I hope to get home for my sis's big shindig at her lakehouse this weekend. Just think how much fun you will have ribbing me about how I missed the work party, and how it was on purpose!
Again let me give my heartfelt thanks to my family. I honestly don't think anyone has had a better family since maybe John-Boy Walton, or maybe the Bush family that's one great family there. I mean they did make one huge mistake but we learned a lesson from it. That lesson is don't tell your retarded child "son you can be anything you want in life, even President".

Home on Monday Evening

I just got home from a run to Lansing MI. I spent the weekend at home, after getting home Friday. Over the weekend, I went to see my Mom, and my sister Penny's family. She has a beautiful grandaughter Samantha (Congratulation's Jon and Katie).

I mentioned that I got home Friday, I left out the previous Sunday to Paris, TN. Then I picked up a load going from Nashville to Huntsville Al. I waited at this smoldering parking lot called Shady Lawn Truck Stop, for a couple of days then I got one from Western Kentucky back home.

OK there is some Shady Lawn here- But you have to look hard for it.

The Big Chicken I guess it's been sitting there for like 50 years

It is a pretty cool statue

Shady Lawn Truckstop- The Big Chicken

I-65 Exit 6 Near Elkton Tennessee-It is between Huntsville Alabama and Nashville TN. It just so happens to be located right next door to the world famous Boobie Bungalow. No I didn't go, but I did hear the girls inside yapping it up on the CB radio, trying to bring in some customers.
