Home is where the heart is, and mine is with my bride of 44 years at our villa in south Florida, so yes, I'm home for Christmas. Between then and New Years we will have a new engine dropped into our Buick and right after the 1st the Ford Transit and I will head north. Hard to leave this weather and drive toward the Great Lakes, but since I'm a Michigan native, I enjoy a dose of snowy weather once in a while. With a little luck, I'll get diverted to Laredo, or sunny southern California. As soon as the bridge is completed, I'm accepting loads to Hawaii.

Looking forward to meeting a lot of you in person next year. May all of you and your loved ones enjoy peace, happiness, and a gift where you can say honestly for once......Wow, that's what I've always wanted!!!

Keep smiling, and MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL.

When do you deliver? North Dakota is expected to get whacked with heavy snow and very strong winds. I-90 to Billings would probably be the best route. Be safe!

Left Fl on Sunday night. Went to St George sc and got a load from Sumter sc to Carrollton tx. Then on my turn and burn, got a call to do a recovery in Dallas tx to Portage in. Will drop that sometime overnight and then head to Wayne's for an oil change and a minor repair. Then home for Thursday night and be back at it some time in January.

UPDATE: Load I rescued in Dallas was from one of our Eastern European friends. Somehow he was having problems with his rear end of his sprinter. Can you say his dispatcher was putting too much weight on his van. Now in a rest area for a few hours nap and then off to Wayne's.

Then it turned to crap was supposed to deliver by 3 pm wed but got pulled in for a level 1 at Broadus took an hour. But passed think it took 9 hrs to go the last 260 miles.parts of sd wasn't that great. Come back 94 was much better today.loading in MN in the morning down to WI then back to Winona to pick up and unload in Dickinson ND on the 4th. Loving landstar so far.
