Don't think I'll be making it back just yet lol.
But at least it's sunny and 65F.
And my view at this Walmart isn't too bad
This trip could be called, expect the unexpected.
After doing this work for several years, sometimes the simplest acts catch me off guard. Pretty trivial but here it is.
I picked up this load at a transfer location. It was a little dark while I was signing the paperwork outside. While signing I heard the highlow driver say something as he turned the flash light on his phone on. I figured he was going to take a picture of the freight so I stepped away out of the light. To my surprise he was trying to light up my paperwork. Yeah, I felt a little stupid at that point haha.
I get to the receiver before they open. When the guy arrives, he comes over to my van, says good morning while extending his hand towards me. I figure it was the just the usual routine and he wanted to see the paper work. Nope wrong again, he transfered the paperwork into his other hand and wanted to shake mine.
Kind of sad that both these simple acts came as a surprise. I guess it would be nice if it happened more often

Toys R Us trip went well. She picked out an Imaginarium train set, a Mickey mouse jack in the box, a Paw Patrol snow globe and a baby doll that crawls. Shopping at Toys R Us $270. Shopping with Tiffany and seeing her so excited and happy, Priceless.

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving. I just found out the Turkey I'm expected to cook tomorrow weighs 27.5 pounds. I was expecting around 18.

Iowa to Elk Grove Village for Friday delivery, so it looks like I'll spend Thanksgiving here at either the TA or the Pilot/Road Ranger in lovely Hampshire, IL.
On the way over here this afternoon, I drove through Waterloo on US 20 and a few miles east of there I pulled off at the Jesup exit to cool a tire, so to speak. While on the on-ramp I could see a really large bird in the tree up ahead. Much larger than the typical yellow-tailed hawk we frequently see along the road. I though maybe a turkey vulture. As I started heading down the ramp back onto the road I got a better look at it and stopped and took some pictures. I was a little surprised it didn't fly off as soon as I exited the van.
I'm glad Ben Franklin didn't get his way.

Wasn't really expecting a load today, but a early morning wake up call changed that.
