In Dubuque, IA sitting in the John Deere parking lot waiting on a load to come our way. Caron called this morning with one going to Colorado haven't heard back yet though. So most likely didn't get it. If nothing comes within the next hour will need to go find a J or Pilot near by if possible.

Dubuque was flooded driving hrough here. Thought the rushing water was going to sweep us away. Last five miles to get here were terrible. Couldn't see where we were going, raging water rushing in the streets. Took half an hour to go less than miles. Made it safe and sound though.

Nope didn't hear it. Could see the lightning for several miles before hitting the storm. I was hoping to get there before it rained no luck. Then when got to Dubuque they have many street torn up with a very large detour. It was very hard to see the detour signs due to them having several that led you to the city's businesses. So turned too soon on the detour and ended up going up and around the city. Was very nerve racking. On top of that the gps didn't have the location right. Luckily we have been there before so kind of knew what we were looking for.
Deffinately was a lot of water.
Well all I can say is we are like the postal service, nothing keeps us from getting the load through. Been through severe snow and rain storms and still got the loads there on time.

Well I had Nick check it for me as I was on a plane, and a fitting was leaking so either way that has been repaired as well!

John the shower is beginning to drain slow again. If there is anyone in particular we should tell about these things, just let us know.
