Got into Dodge Center Mn this morning about 1:30 local time. Drove the last 100 or so miles in downpour rains that slowed everyone down to 40-45 mph. It was a mess. Then when i hit dodge Center..there were limbs and branches all over the place roads covered with garbage blown all over...but it was clear and calm.
Went to sleep at the Delivery for about 4 hrs , then delivered this morning.Thats when i found out that I had driven through 2 different weather fronts that produced 2-3 tornados......diffents see a thing other then when I got to Dodge Center...yea hard winds and rain, but I never even thought about a tornado...its windy this morning and overcast now as i sit at the Wal Mart in Rochester MN....

cd,
How does the back feel? Going to make it? I sometimes think the people hit the hardest physically in this business are those who start out fitter, and more active than average. My doctor chuckled when I answered--I'm on track to being in the worst shape of my life.

The back is better, not 100% but gettin there. A while back our "Shelled" friend posted about the "Oregon Areo" seat cushions he had in his sprinter seat. I ordered a set and didn't think about them again. Well seems my daughter grabbed them when they were sent to the house, i get them for Fathers Day...
As luck would have it, I got a run from Minneapolis to Wyoming Mich, with a Monday AM delivery. So i am loaded and heading home for the weekend and getting the cushions. I am looking forward to using them and figure they will help the back.
LOL, i guess most all dads pay for their own Fathers Day gifts when yoou still have kids at home.

Back to my favorite truck stop. Surrounded by a FedEx and someone else's box vans I forget.
So far racked up 1200 miles since Wednesday, made 17 deliveries to places that can't figure out why they are getting what I dropped off, hit a pigeon, a chicken or maybe two (can't tell because it was a burst of feathers), almost got two deer (makes me wonder what's wrong with Kentucky's DOT, they were chasing the things), cleaned countless june bugs off my truck and for some reason butterflies who were committing mass suicide were also a PIA to clean off the truck ... oh and saw what I thought was a Black cougar crossing the road with its food.

I ran through a traffic jam of historic proportions, Biblical even, from northern Va. to north of Baltimore on my way to Cherry Hill, N.J. Of course I've seen that stretch of road bad before, but this...
Anyway, I'm in Bordentown 'til tomorrow when I pick up to go to Asheboro N.C.
