Hello friends and family. Yes I know, it's been way too long since I've made an entry here to keep you informed of our travels. Right now we are sitting in Brandon Connecticut enjoying a leisurely weekend. May as well just enjoy it as it seems there is no freight moving over the weekend. We made a delivery early Saturday morning in Plainfield, CT and then moved down here to the TA in Brandon. It's over 60 miles from were we delivered, but truck stops are really scarce in this part of the country.
Spring has finally sprung up here and it is very nice. I really don't have much news to bring you as it all seems to be routine now. We just get assignments and go get them. Crossing the country is still very enjoyable and we love to take in the local culture when we can. Like yesterday... we walked a few blocks to a place called "Chowder Pot III". It is an upscale seafood restaurant and mostly the locals go there. But as I sat there enjoying my meal, I couldn't help thinking that I was sitting in the middle of a mobster meeting place. LOL It was just the stereotype that I get from TV. Seems every table had the "godfather" that was in control of everything. With there mannerisms and accents, I just could not help seeing that image in my mind. Oh, I'm sure they were all really nice folks and that Belinda and I were the only ones with the "accent" LOL.
Well there is one piece of news that I should share with all you that keep up with us. A few weeks ago March 24th, I was involved in a pretty serious accident. I knew the odds were against me with as many miles as I drive. Anyway to keep this short and sweet and not provide too many details, a fellow ran a stop light and clipped me doing about 50 mph. I was moving very slow as my light had just turned green. A mid sized car does not fair very well against big rig as you may suspect. The law cleared me and the company cleared me as a non preventable accident so all is well. The driver of the car also seems to be ok after a few days in the hospital and I am most thank full of that. My biggest fear out here has always been that I may hurt someone whether my fault or not. I am much relieved that he will be OK. It did not look so good at the time of the accident.
Well, that's it for now. I'll work on getting Belinda back in the groove to keep "my blog" up LOL.
Till next time......
