We got a load out of Atlanta yesterday morning with a Mon delivery in NJ. 799 miles. Our week wasn't great either but we're staying positive for next week. Y'all have a good weekend.

Thanks preacher... We usually do good out of here too. Hopefully they can get us some miles this week. Short trips are killing us financially!!
See you out here my friend!

We're right there with y'all. Those short trips just kill us. I personally would rather wait an extra day for a longer run than bite at the first thing they through at us. The only time I don't mind the shorter runs is when they have a load already booked for after we drop.

I hope it is an easy fix too! Will have to miss a day of work to be here for the repairman. Hopefully it can be fixed tomorrow! Hey- if you a chance, go eat at Cafe Rioux(downtown). It is wonderful cajun food. Edpecially the bread pudding. Of course, it has so much rum in it, it always knocks me out! Kinda like the passion colada I had last night. Hmmm, I think I'll have another!!!!!

We were in Phoenix for 3 days, got our walks in before 11 am and after 6 pm. Parked under a Mesquite tree with a southerly breeze. Doors open, drank lots of ice water, shorts, tees, my hair up off my neck...yep, it was hot (96-99), but we were not too uncomfortable. I think half the battle was knowing it would be so. Got me a dandy spider bite, too. Don't know what kind, didn't feel it happen. We've been in 105 humid Florida and 0 dry North Dakota...but whatchya gonna do? Roll with it. Helpful hint: remove all metal jewelry in extreme temps. It only transmits the heat/cold. More than you realize.

Not everybody wears every earring they own in both ears and nose Beebsy. As much metal as you have in your head you probably have to take you piercings out at 33 degrees and 65 degrees.

Positive thought headed y'alls way. I've had to do an emergency dh home once this year already. My dad has CHF and was in the hospital with 18 lbs of extra fluid on him.

Please keep us posted.

Safe travels
