Fuel for Thought

Back to the $$$ :-)

         Back to making $$$$ !!  Enough of this lazin around, just watchin the grass grow, playin with the dog, takin the wife out to dinner.... wait... ok.. when's my next vacation? LOL.   Seriously, I enjoyed my time off, but by the end of the week, I was gettin itchy to MOVE!   Got a few things done around the house, but mostly just relaxin, which was nice.  Put the van in the shop to get some things done I'd been puttin off... they loved me :-) .. got a couple new tires, upper and lower ball joints, alignment etc.  Then, since I'm on vacation, might as well hit the tattoo shop right? LOL.

        I had planned to stay off til today, but since the van was done, and the "honey do" list was only growing, (!).. I went back in service Saturday morning... by noon I was dispatched on a run picking up less than 30 miles from home, and delivering South of Atlanta, GA this morning.  This worked out great because I could grab it, go ahead and hit the local auction Saturday night, church and dinner with the family on Sunday, then leave out Sunday night.  Decently heavy load, 2000 lbs of dry paint... but the new alignment and ball joints worked well, and I had a smooth run.  Delivered early this morn... (they were waiting.. I love that!).. got some rest, and waiting to run now.  I don't mind getting started later in the day... hate that Atlanta traffic! One of the craziest cities around.. speed limit is 70 around a good section of interstate, but if you're going that fast... they're blowing the horn and flashin lights for you to get out of the way!
