LOVELY MICHIGAN
Well, we got a dispatch to go just out of Syracuse, NY, but it wasn't until Friday morning. So we went to the casino to have a little fun. We took our friend, Andy, he drives for Conway too, and had a bite to eat and play the quarter slots. Had fun, won a little and lost it back, but we never risk much, no more than a night at the movies. The Turning Stone Casino is a really big place. Is a pretty place too.

So we went and got our beer load, was a trailer load of Molito, going to Howell, MI. just west of Detroit. A HEAVY load. Had to be here this morning at 5:30. Got here a hour early and they wouldn't open till 6:00, so sat a little on the street and watched all the trucks come to wait too. Got unloaded really fast though, that is always a plus.

So we are in a empty lot just up the road. Shopping and restaurants nearby and another driver for Conway here too. We are 23rd on the board, : ( , looks like a long weekend in the lot, was hoping for good long run for the weekend.

Thursday was our Kelly's sweety ,Brian's, birthday, gave them a call and they were trying out a new restaurant that they said was a fun place. Wild animals making sounds and Kelly said great Pina Coladas, they have alot of choices in and around Indy, I forgot the name of the place they were at, something about The Woods? Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, again, Brian :)

Got to see my first live, wild, porcupine walking down the side of the road in New York yesterday on our way to Michigan. Saw several wild turkeys too. A local hunter at Verona had killed a 20 pounder Friday morning, he was telling us about it while we were getting coffee at the gas station.

Well, guess I'll get off and crochet on my project I'm working on while I have this down time. Catch you up later.

Living the Dream... Belinda and Ricky
