HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Hello to all my Fans.
I'm behind again but will try to bring you all up to date. After spending a wonderful few days with my family for Christmas, it's time to get back to work. This time I left Joplin solo... well almost solo. I have Paco our little 6 pounds of pure terror to keep me company as I travel. We left Joplin, MO headed for Federick, MD to deliver some roofing products. The load was very heavy and the hills in PA really made me work to get over them. Then when I got to Federick to make my first dock all by myself, this is what I had to do....
Here is my truck all backed into place and being unloaded on my first solo run. Do you notice that the trailer is back into a hole with concrete walls down both sides!!.
Here is another view from the side to give you an idea of a tight hole.
From there we left for Winchester, VA to get a new load and take it to Twinsburg, OH. Then it was off to Florence, KY to get a new load for Swedesboro, NJ. Don't let that Kentucky thing fool you. Florence, KY is actually just a southern part of Cincinnati, OH. That is one big city!!!
We went on to Swedesboro, NJ and then had to pick our next load up in Somerville, NJ.
That Somerville load needed to be taken to Milwaukee, WI. The only problem I see with Milwaukee is that You must go thru Chicago to get there. I can truly say that I do not like Chicago!!! I think I had rather go back to Ney York. Well why do I say things like that??? LOL
So they are not sending me back to New York yet, but I am headed for the east cost again. I am to pick up a load in the morning from Sturtevant, WI and take it to Seaford, DE.
So as you can see I have been quite busy. I think I'll go back home about middle of the month to visit with my lovey bride for a day or two.
Mean while here is something I found and then put some thoughts to it.
Paco and I spent one evening at a truck stop in Smithton, PA. I chose this spot since it would let me get up and run the turnpike in the daylight next day. I took Paco for a walk and climbed a grassy hill. Anyway there is a fellow buried there that died in 1818. I'd like to think maybe he was a teamster and ran wagons over these hills. But then across the street was The Filly Corral...
Either way, I figure the guy is quite happy with his resting place. If he was a teamster he is overlooking a large truck stop and can see how things have progressed over the years. And if he wasn't, I'm sure he enjoys seeing the girls over at the Corral. hahahaha
The Filly Corral... Paco kept pulling me toward the Corral, but I finally won over him and got us back to the truck before we got into trouble.
