Congrats TJ on leaving the south for the north....in February.

juju...do you make the UPS guy wear shorts in February? I'm beginning to think you might have a thing for shorts.

but they wear those boring brown shorts...

and it is 151 miles to Walmart...

Eddie...$108.50 on a dry load of 193 miles..that's .56 a mile....too bad them type wouldn't always go dry...*L*

Did you do a 19?

Am #1...they did that e-mail thingee...

Am #1...they did that e-mail thingee...

Kinda wonder how they'd function without email..the thought of them actually picking up the phone..

Yeah, I'm 4.7 miles from Wal-Mart and a very large Mall....Ken is what? 140 miles from a Wal-Mart? Poor JUJU has to shop online, and have the UPS guy over for coffee...his name is Joe, I think...lol

Imagine the fuel surcharge on the shipping charges getting stuff delivered out to Bison, S.D. I bet the UPS guy has a cot in his truck for a 10-hour break after a drive out there!!! Or would it be easier to get groceries and supplies air-dropped to your house by a Huey?

haha...the UPS guys lives in town. Of course he has to travel a hundred miles to pick up his packages. Nice town though...If I'm not home he'll either drop it off at my neighbors or give it to his wife who works at the bank...gotta love small town living!

Could be worse...you could be going to Ithaca! Now, you will have the truth about how those folks in Texas drive on 6 to 8" of snow. It will be there, they have nothing to remove it with...

At least you'll be used to the weather - I'm just down the road from Shreveport, in Tyler, Tx, and the snow is steadily coming down. The flakes are big & soft & pretty, and I hate every single one of them.

We are now in Spokane, WA. DH up here from L.A. Pick up tomorrow and take it to QC. Finally off the west coast.

 

[pelicn]

Headed for Oregon...first time out west in almost a year!

Ahhh....it's good to sleep in a nice warm bed....was busy this week. Got a run from Brunswick, Ohio to Latham, NY on Monday. Tuesday I got a run from Waterford, NY to Rhineland, WI which brought me through canada first then across the UP of MI to Wisconsin...nice scenery, but would much rather do that in the summer. Then got a load from Kaukauna, WI (by Green Bay) to Toronto, Ca which got switched out because I have developed a large crack in my windshield. So here I am at my moms in Salem, Ohio waiting on Safetylight to come out and fix my window. which is gonna run me $182.00. which I have to pay in order to get back in service. Here's some pics I took of the UP....Lighthouse on Lake Michigan and other pics.
