A Truckin' Easy Day

DATELINE: HOWELL, MI, 9:24 p.m.

Miles Today: 405

Well, I've come full circle. The DATELINE, above, is my original hometown, the town where I was born. I wasn't actually born at this rest area (and it wasn't even here way back then), but it's close enough to town to say I'm home...at least for the night.

Today was mostly another ho-hum day: Get up & have breakfast at the truck stop restaurant, drive to the delivery in Sturgis, MI, back into the dock, wait for them to unload, drive to another truck stop to fuel up while waiting for my next load assignment, drive 3-1/2 hours to the pickup in Grand Haven, MI, back into that dock and wait for them to load, drive for the rest of my allotted hours, pull into this rest area for the night. I had a little excitement from a couple of snow squalls on the way to pick up my new load, but that's about as "good" as it got. Otherwise a routine day. For which I am very thankful and glad! No glitchiness!

I have to get up early to haul this load to mid-Kentucky, so I'll cut this off right here. Wish me more ho-hum days like today. Thanks ever so much for reading, and keep on truckin' and commentin'.

Note to reader RPICARD: I'd love to have copies of the old radio shows, but I don't have a CD player in the truck. Could you do cassettes? Thanks very much!

Howell... sigh. So near and yet so far. Let's hope for a few more uneventful days (yawn) until you get home.
