BACK IN TEXAS

Well let's see, picked up part of a load in Iowa, went to Illinois, above Chicago, and picked up the rest of the load for Houston. There was talk of a lot of flooding in the Iowa and Illinois area on the news, while we were there. We saw the rivers up and out of the banks in a few places, but none that gave us any problems. Went on down to just above St. Louis for the night with what was left of our hours. Got on up in the wee hours and made it down to Shreveport to Kelly's Plaza for Thursday night and got up in the wee hours again this morning to get into Houston to deliver. A little road construction delay but still an hour early. Did see a drivers bad luck on the way into Texas on 59 this morning, he had lost his tandem wheels and the heavy load he was carrying broke the trailer in half after the wheels wound up in the ditch, and his load was being transferred to other trucks.That made for a really lousy day for him. Left the business to find a place to wait till we got a new dispatch. Decided on a truck stop close to our drop yard, just had a few hours left on Ricky's clock, of course just before they were totally up, we got orders to go north of Houston and drop our trailer and bobtail to Laredo. So here we sit after dropping the trailer waiting for 10 hours to be up where we can go on down to Laredo. Didn't have time to see Daniel and Tricia like we had hoped. We are too far for a quick visit, so maybe another time. I'll just give them a call tomorrow to wish them a Happy Anniversary. Hoping for a good run out before the weekend is up. Gonna head for bed, Ricky says we can leave in the wee hours again for this run. When I do go home I won't be able to sleep late after getting in this habit. : (
Catch you up later...

Dreamin our Dream....Belinda and Ricky
