At the Loves in Biloxi, Mississippi. Had a really nice day today, hot but nice. Tracy and I walked on the white sand beach of Gulfport. Had dinner at Applebee's. Nice day! If we don't get a load out of here tomorrow we will go back.

At the yard. Unloaded 11 hours early. Picked up yesterday afternoon in El Paso, 30 hours later were unloaded. Not bad time considering we averaged 23.8 mpg. Now sitting @ number 13 in the Sprinter class, so we will see what tomorrow brings us. Time for some much needed non moving sleep.

Picking up in the morning, going there and returning back. Sleeping in the yard tonight.

TN seems slow lately from my experience.

At the Petro in Hammond, LA. Have a pick up tomorrow morning in Baton Rouge, LA drop off in Lerado, TX Wed. morning.

Tracy will spend his birthday driving all day tomorrow, oh well, we had a relaxing weekend in Louisana and Mississippi at the beach one day. Didn't do anything today. We don't like the heat much, so stayed in the truck today, very humid outside.

Coming for a visit? We have some work for ya! always wanted to see how a beach ball balances on a ladder...*LOL*

You know, I'd really love to come for a visit, and see how the "other side" lives out in the middle of nowhere...I can just picture it, "Ken, do you have any milk to drink??" I ask...And, moments later, youre outside, sitting on a stool,wearing a straw hat,cowboy boots,singing " Green Acres" milking a cow....

Why, I bet, when youre riding on youre John Deere tractor, youre singing at the top of youre lungs, "She thinks my tractor's sexy"...lmao

Beach ball???

It is my built in life preserver,admired by some, called gross by others..but, since I cant swim, it is a valuable piece of me...Ladders? Sorry, I am scared of heights, having to do with being almost blown off of a bridge in Boston, ice and snow covered,single lane that went towards Heaven, with a curve to it,And a gust of wind that blew me against the concrete wall as I was at the top of it..**** engineers..no reason for that bridge...I havent been right since that one...And, yes, I know every way around the World Trade bridge in Laredo..Never been on it, and never will..

/dropped at the Nissan plant in Canton Miss where they build the new Nissan vans...see probably 5-600 of them...95% of them WHITE....and they have a window pass van in production also..I stopped and looked at both...not bad other then too short for us...

Anyhow...at the "J" down in Jackson Miss....dispatch sayes to sit tight, they haven't seen enough freight from any one area for it to be worthwhile to move now...so, the generator is runnin, the AC unit is in, on and blown cold...time for a nap and a shower later.....
